One example that comes to mind is that of the problem of practicing archaeology offshore, or, at great depths. The expense of such research is now prohibitive to the majority of UK academics working with national research grants.\u00a0 The <em>per diem<\/em> of running a remote operated vehicle off shore would make most research bodies wince.<\/p>\n<p>However, with budding International collaborative research projects, not only are we able to maximise our research, pool our resources and expand our research, but we have an avenue to disseminate our knowledge and results further. This is not only true within academia, but also across industry and it is for this reason that building and maintaining these international relationships on both a personal and University level is important for our future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been a busy week.
