Description
Science benefits from increasing diversity. The importance of human contribution in the scientific path is often ignored: every day individuals change the way science is done. Lack of diversity within the scientific community can result in a limited number of questions we ask, the type of problems we think and the way to solve them. A science working to its full potential is one that incorporates diversification.
Promoting and increasing effective solutions to this diversity issue is not an easy task. It requires efforts at all levels. Governmental collaborative programs clearly play an important role by encouraging individuals from different backgrounds to combine efforts in scientific research.
In this talk we will review different collaborative overseas programs and their impact.
