Human capital requires opportunities to develop and capacity to overcome challenges, together with an enabling environment that fosters critical and disruptive innovation. Exploring such features is necessary to establish the foundation of solid long-term partnerships. In this paper we describe the experience of the CRONICAS Centre of Excellence in Chronic Diseases, based at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru, as a case study for fostering meaningful and sustainable partnerships for international collaborative research. The CRONICAS Centre of Excellence in Chronic Diseases was established in 2009 with the following Mission: "We support the development of young researchers and collaboration with national and international institutions. Our motivation is to improve population's health through high quality research." The Centre's identity is embedded in its core values - generosity, innovation, integrity, and quality- and its trajectory is a result of various interactions between multiple individuals, collaborators, teams, and institutions, which together with the challenges confronted, enables us to make an objective assessment of the partnership we would like to pursue, nurture and support. We do not intend to provide a single example of a successful partnership, but in contrast, to highlight what can be translated into opportunities to be faced by research groups based in low- and middle-income countries, and how these encounters can provide a strong platform for fruitful and sustainable partnerships. In defiant contexts, partnerships require to be nurtured and sustained. Acknowledging that all partnerships are not and should not be the same, we also need to learn from the evolution of such relationships, its key successes, hurdles and failures to contribute to the promotion of a culture of global solidarity where mutual goals, mutual gains, as well as mutual responsibilities are the norm. In so doing, we will all contribute to instil a new culture where expectations, roles and interactions among individuals and their teams are horizontal, the true nature of partnerships.
人力资本需要发展的机会、克服挑战的能力,以及一个能够促进批判性和颠覆性创新的有利环境。探索这些特征对于建立稳固的长期伙伴关系基础至关重要。在本文中,我们将以位于秘鲁利马的卡耶塔诺·埃雷迪亚秘鲁大学的慢性病卓越研究中心(CRONICAS)的经验为例,探讨如何为国际合作研究建立有意义且可持续的伙伴关系。慢性病卓越研究中心于2009年成立,其使命如下:“我们支持年轻研究人员的发展,并与国家和国际机构开展合作。我们的动力是通过高质量的研究改善民众健康。”该中心的特质体现在其核心价值观——慷慨、创新、诚信和质量之中,其发展轨迹是众多个人、合作者、团队和机构之间各种互动的结果,这些互动以及所面临的挑战,使我们能够对想要建立、培育和支持的伙伴关系进行客观评估。我们并非要提供一个成功伙伴关系的单一范例,而是相反,要强调低收入和中等收入国家的研究团队可能面临的机遇,以及这些机遇如何为富有成效和可持续的伙伴关系提供坚实平台。在充满挑战的环境中,伙伴关系需要培育和维系。认识到所有伙伴关系并非也不应千篇一律,我们还需要从这种关系的演变、其关键的成功之处、障碍和失败中汲取经验,以促进一种全球团结的文化,在这种文化中,共同目标、共同利益以及共同责任成为常态。通过这样做,我们都将有助于灌输一种新文化,即个人及其团队之间的期望、角色和互动是平等的,这才是伙伴关系的真正本质。
