Abstract

Collaboratories that support science and engineering have become more and more common. Unfortunately, many of them experience serious difficulties. Those that involve inter-cultural collaboration are especially problematic. We have identified more than 200 such projects, and have formulated a series of working hypotheses about what factors are associated with success and failure. In this article we review these factors, focusing in particular on those aspects that arise in inter-cultural collaborations.
