Although new technology makes collaboration across borders that much easier, the need to work together is ever more urgent.   The global market is constantly shifting and HEIs need to adapt.  Essentially, collaboration is about people and relationships.  Any partnership needs a solid foundation if it is to work.  For example:

​

•  Are each partner’s needs being met? 

• Are each partner’s separate identities respected?

• Shared responsibility for the partnership

• A degree of interdependence

• Good communication

• A high degree of transparency

• Creative approaches to sustaining and growing the relationship

• A learning partnership

• Working with complementary strengths
