Why?
Funder imperativesSharing of knowledge base and research skillsCreative approach to specific issueDevelopment of existing collaboration (not research based)Do these reasons conflict; produce different outcomes?Are there other reasons?

How?
Internally funded project
– Bridging the GapExternally funded project
– NordForsk– FP7
Unfunded collaboration
– Teachers in TV projectJoint supervision of research students
– Formal / informal
• And other models?

Problematising the concept
If we are convinced of the need to work with ‘other’ disciplines, what is ‘our’ discipline?
– What is your academic identity?– Is a project multidisciplinary if there
is a collaboration between a sociologist and an educational sociologist? / between a Department of Linguistics and Linguists in a Department of Education?
What does Education bring to the collaboration?
– Are there specific fields of expertise?
– Why do ‘other’ disciplines want to work with Education?
Which country are you representing in an international collaboration?• Europe; UK; Scotland ---
What are the languages of the collaboration?– Formally and informally
Where do you position yourself in the collaboration?– UK centric; UK peripheral;
Eurocentric

Conceptualising the Problems
What is most important: the outcome; the process; the future engagement?
How is mutual understanding gained?How are differing perspectives acknowledged as offering added
value?How are conflicting imperatives addressed?
