The aim of the workshop is to enable CRC (and other interested) researchers at an early stage of their career to plan collaborations in the fields of research and teaching for the purpose of perpetuating their research focus acquired in Bremen. Dasten Julián (PhD FSU Jena) will contribute his own experience of knowledge transfer from Germany as well as the extensive South-North/North-South/South-South collaborations that have built on it. We will review a set of challenges that the global scenario presents in its institutional and academic dimension for the development of cooperation, research and scientific exchange strategies. Next to the issues brought up by the participants, we will analyze concrete cooperation experiences (e.g. Germany-Chile; Chile-Germany; Chile-South Africa-India; Latin American Networks) and we will identify some of the actors and axes that may be interesting to consider in processes of internationalization and design of research projects.
