  22. Take-home messages

  23. IC are often decentralised processes led by champions. More successful outcomes when researchers can chose what to study & with whom.

  24. Invest in building trust among people. Informal networks and pilot projects are efficient to share ideas, shape more robust projects, and lower risks of failure.

  25. Groups are often asymmetric. Design win-winscenariosfor all partners. Start with bottom-up rules and agreements (codes of good practices, MOUs) that reassure participants, minimise risk of drop-outs and misunderstandings, and incorporate contingency plans.

  26. Partnerships become vulnerable in the implementation phase (specification of deliverables, timelines, transfer of funds, etc). Experienced research leaders and administrators are paramount to success.

  27. Neutral coordinators can serve as the honest broker, help minimise conflicts, help drive forward the agenda, and ensure multiannual funding.

  28. WE CAN BUILD OUR JOINT WAY FORWARD
