Rosa Doran (NUCLIO)
Astronomy is a very powerful tool to foster international collaboration. Education beyond borders will be the team of this presentation where the experience of 20 years of collaboration with people worldwide will be shared. The recent pandemic has strengthened and opened an opportunity for global collaboration but has also brought to light the dangers of gender imbalances, stereotypes and the challenges of the digital divide. Strategies to tackle this and other aspects for a truly global collaboration will be presented.
