Group Questions What is collaboration? What are successful measures of collaboration? What have we learnt from our collaborations about what works and what doesn’t? What kinds of support for mobility would we like to see for staff and students from Indonesia and Australia? What are the constraints and possibilities here? What would the benefits be?

Social Equity What responsibility do we have to our international research colleagues and the communities we undertake research on/with? Some thoughts to get you going: - How do we build our colleagues research capacity? - How do we ‘give back’ to the communities we research on/with? - How far should we go?
