Abstract
Technology has revolutionized the way we do business. In many ways, international borders seem very conceptual. However, in other aspects, such as differing regulations, these boundaries are very real. And yet human disease transcends these boundaries. Dr. Crist and other key representatives from Academia will discuss moving beyond international borders to promote and conduct research, and develop beneficial collaborations.

Objectives
1. Define key challenges in international academic relations
2. Discuss the challenges of conducting research in multiple countries
3. Explore a variety of predictions for the next decade
