International Research Collaborations: An Australian Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Shifts in the Field of Mathematics Education

Abstract

In the Australian research context, collaboration with international researchers is highly valued. In part, this is due to the geographical isolation of the nation and the desire to ensure that the research that emanates from the country is at world-class level. Working with international researchers who are well respected within their communities is one of the pillars upon which many Australian universities build their strategic plans. This chapter explores the international collaboration between Steve and myself.
