Scientific collaboration has been a critical aspect of the development of all fields of science, particularly clinical medicine. It is well understood that myriads of benefits can be yielded by interdisciplinary and international collaboration. For instance, our rapidly growing knowledge on COVID-19 and vaccine development could not be attained without expanded collaborative activities. However, achieving fruitful results requires mastering specific tactics in collaborative efforts. These activities can enhance our knowledge, which ultimately benefits society. In addition to tackling the issue of the invisible border between different countries, institutes, and disciplines, the border between the scientific community and society needs to be addressed as well. International and transdisciplinary approaches can potentially be the best solution for bridging science and society. The Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization and network to promote professional, scientific research and education worldwide. The fifth annual congress of USERN was held in Tehran, Iran, in a hybrid manner on November 7-10, 2020, with key aims of bridging science to society and facilitating borderless science. Among speakers of the congress, a group of top scientists unanimously agreed on The USERN 2020 consensus, which is drafted with the goal of connecting society with scientific scholars and facilitating international and interdisciplinary scientific activities in all fields, including clinical medicine.
科学合作一直是所有科学领域发展的关键因素，尤其是临床医学领域。人们清楚地认识到，跨学科和国际合作能够带来诸多益处。例如，如果没有广泛的合作活动，我们就无法迅速积累关于新冠病毒和疫苗研发的知识。然而，要取得丰硕成果，就需要在合作中掌握特定策略。这些活动能够增进我们的知识，最终造福社会。除了解决不同国家、机构和学科之间无形的界限问题，科学界与社会之间的界限也需要加以解决。国际和跨学科方法可能是弥合科学与社会之间差距的最佳解决方案。全球科学教育与研究网络（USERN）是一个非政府、非营利组织和网络，旨在促进全球范围内的专业科学研究与教育。USERN第五届年度大会于2020年11月7日至10日在伊朗德黑兰以线上线下结合的方式举行，其主要目标是弥合科学与社会的差距并推动无国界科学。在大会发言者中，一群顶尖科学家一致认可《USERN 2020共识》，该共识的起草目的是将社会与科学学者联系起来，并推动包括临床医学在内的所有领域的国际和跨学科科学活动。
