Chapters provide evidence-based guidance, real-world examples, and valuable resources to equip educational leaders, administrators, faculty and all stakeholders with the knowledge and strategies necessary to excel in this transformative era of international higher education. Contributing international scholars and experts from various disciplines delve into the challenges and opportunities associated with a globally dispersed and increasingly diverse pool of employees. They examine how universities harness talent from around the world and how this workforce diversity can lead to innovation and cross-cultural collaboration. Featuring an extensive collection of new and diverse case studies from higher education institutions and systems worldwide, these real-world scenarios offer practical, on-the-ground insights into the challenges and successes of global education. Readers can draw from these case studies to inform their own strategies and decision-making processes, allowing for immediate application and relevance in their respective contexts. The Emerald Handbook on International Higher Education is a new and significant contribution to the research in a new era of education, with remote work and online learning becoming more prevalent than ever before. It will be of special interest to international higher education researchers, leaders, administrators, faculty members and policy makers.

    In an increasingly interconnected world, perhaps it should come as no surprise that international collaboration in science and technology research is growing at a remarkable rate. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world, U.S.-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. International research agreements can serve many purposes, but data are always involved in these collaborations. The kinds of data in play within international research agreements varies widely and may range from financial and consumer data, to Earth and space data, to population behavior and health data, to specific project-generated data—this is just a narrow set of examples of research data but illustrates the breadth of possibilities. The uses of these data are various and require accounting for the effects of data access, use, and sharing on many different parties. Cultural, legal, policy, and technical concerns are also important determinants of what can be done in the realms of maintaining privacy, confidentiality, and security, and ethics is a lens through which the issues of data, data sharing, and research agreements can be viewed as well. A workshop held on March 14-16, 2018, in Washington, DC explored the changing opportunities and risks of data management and use across disciplinary domains. The third workshop in a series, participants gathered to examine advisory principles for consideration when developing international research agreements, in the pursuit of highlighting promising practices for sustaining and enabling international research collaborations at the highest ethical level possible. The intent of the workshop was to explore, through an ethical lens, the changing opportunities and risks associated with data management and use across disciplinary domains—all within the context of international research agreements. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
