مسائل مربوط به مدیریت و ارتقای استراتژیک در همکاری های پژوهشی بین المللی

The main conclusions and recommendations of the paper are that a truly multilateral and sustained framework for international research cooperation should consist of a number of well-established and documented functions as well as a number of organisations that would ensure its proper functioning and operation. The basic functions are the following four: Strategic Management/Research performing and capacity building/Programme monitoring and funding/Implementation and market uptake of research results. The suggested organisations include the creation of an independent and “trusted” organization, which could be called the “International Research Cooperation Council”—IRCC. This organization should be attached to a “trusted” global institution like the UN and will perform a number of functions such as issuance of guidelines, harmonisation of procedures, monitoring and governance functions, (international) research needs assessment and formulation, funding management, etc. It is also suggested, that a number of individual, research-performing organisations, the so called International Cooperation Promotion and Networking Centres (ICPNC) should be designated and encouraged to act as “champion organisations”, in promoting international cooperative work at global level.
