The Science of Team Science Conference

"The Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference is a forum to enhance our understanding of how best to engage in Team Science to meet society’s needs. The SciTS Conference serves: as a point of convergence for investigators studying Science teams and Team Science leaders/practitioners; to engage funding agencies to provide guidance on developing and managing Team Science initiatives; and to afford data providers and analytics developers insight into collaboration tracking and analysis needs. In this way, the SciTS Conference acts as a bridge between the science and the praxis of Team Science, serving as an important conduit for translating empirical findings about Team Science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of Team Science."

Relationships are what we have.

I am fond of the following, which I wrote in Creating a Culture of Collaboration (and later modified):

Meaning is what we want.
Understanding is what we need.
Choices are what we make.
Relationships are what we have.

But this video says it better.
