The biggest problems facing the world today will not be solved by researchers from a single discipline, a single university, or even a single continent. The key is collaboration, where researchers can come together and share ideas about how to resolve those intractable issues that shorten lives, hold back economic development and impact on wellbeing: climate change, food security, disease and rebuilding communities ravaged by conflict. If we as academics want to make a real change, we need to forge links with colleagues outside of our own disciplines and across borders.
