International Explorations of Collaborations: How Do Research-Practice Partnerships in Europe Compare With Those in the United States?

Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 107A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) in the U.S. – long-term collaborations between partners with diverse expertise working towards enduring challenges in education – are increasingly common (Author et al, 2018). Recently, an updated definition of RPPs was introduced that identifies several key dimensions of partnerships (Author et al, 2021). Although representative of a large sample of U.S.-based RPPs, we wonder how this U.S.-derived definition coheres with RPPs abroad. In this session, we invite representatives from U.S.A., Sweden, Germany, and France to share and discuss the core elements that shape their RPP efforts, giving us a first look into the role international contexts play in RPP work.
