Synopsis: Leaders of six international collaborations -- including the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva; the International Linear Collider, a machine proposed to follow the Large Hadron Collider; ITER, a large-scale international fusion effort; the Next Generation Space Telescope; the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, an international astronomy collaboration; and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory international energy projects -- address how large-scale international collaboration is a part of the changing face of physics. The subject matter spans much of physics and astronomy, and the nature of each international collaboration presents its own unique challenges and opportunities.
