BRIDGE project partners have gained a lot of knowledge and experience since BRIDGE started in 2004. On this page you can find advice and stories from the partners. We hope that this will help Higher Education institutions manage their own international collaborations.
The examples below are all based on experience of collaboration between the UK and Russia. We hope they will also be of interest to people involved in managing collaborations between the UK and other countries, for example under PMI2.
