While beneficial, research partnerships in nanotechnology also face several challenges:
Intellectual Property (IP) Issues: Determining IP ownership and rights can be complex in multi-institutional collaborations. Coordination and Communication: Effective communication is essential but can be challenging, especially in international collaborations. Cultural Differences: Varying institutional cultures and expectations can impact collaboration dynamics. Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries have different regulations concerning nanomaterials, which can complicate collaborative efforts.
