NSF’s International Strategy
International collaboration
NSF collaborates internationally to advance the frontiers of knowledge and address global scientific problems
Transformative science and engineering
Impacts
Drive the economy
Enhance security
Advance global leadership
Increase global understanding
By Investing in PEOPLE
•To work with the best minds around the world
•To create a globally-engaged workforce
•Examples: International Research Experiences for Undergraduates, International Research Experiences for Students Program
By Driving RESEARCH
•To participate in cutting-edge research occurring internationally
•To ensure access to real-time events and phenomena
•Examples: Belmont Forum, Partnerships in International Research and Education Program, RAPIDs
By Partnering on FACILITIES and INFRASTRUCTURE
•To collaborate on the construction and use of world-class facilities and infrastructure
•Examples: Atacama Large Millimeter Array, CERN, Research Data Alliance
By Leading Through International Forums
•To engage with international science leaders and share norms and practices
•Examples: Global Research Council, OECD Global Science Forum, Joint Commission Meetings
