International science--an overview

L Kerwin

Scientific projects that succeed as international cooperative efforts are those related to subjects that transcend national frontiers, are costly, have long-range objectives rather than short-term commercial aims, and correspond with the political objectives of the countries involved. Yet the best context for the all science is the global community, which is also the best hope for humanity. The global community is still generations away and scientists must continue to work for it, by seeking the international dimensions of science as individuals and participating in governmental as well as nongovernmental international scientific organizations.
