Collaborating

Collaboration is the process by which multiple people contribute to a common outcome because their abilities, knowledge, skills and experience must be combined or exchanged to achieve a goal. Collaboration requires a common goal, shared planning and coordination between different individuals. In this process, the norms of open scientific exchange (for example honesty, diligence, transparency, independence, responsibility) must be respected and disseminated.

The skill of Collaboration allows you to work on a broader range of issues and topics by contributing to different teams.
