Join Dr. Marta L. Wayne, Dean of the UF International Center and the UF Helicopter Science Faculty Group, for a panel discussion and short group presentations on Helicopter Science and its effect on international partnerships.
Helicopter research — also referred to as ‘parachute science’ — is when researchers from higher-income or more privileged settings carry out research in resource-poor settings with limited to no involvement of local communities or researchers.*
• How is international science and collaboration promoted in your discipline/department?
• Do you have examples of good practices of international science, education, and research?
• What basic skills and resources exist and should be available?
• What are the challenges?
