The impact of the global financial crisis 2008 to 2009 on higher education andresearch around the world has been varied，depending on the immediate effects oneconomies and the flow on effects to national policies and allocations of resources.These effects have been slower to emerge，in research and higher education，and itis only now that some of the serious implications and the requirements for wiseresponses are being understood. Most international university cooperation is between individual academics insimilar fields，assisted through mutual focus on research questions，and a team-work that grows through research societies，exchange or visiting fellowships，anddialogue that is assisted by new communications technologies.Over the past tenyears，there has also been an emergence of faculty or institution level partnershipswhere a more corporate approach is taken，usually to bring a broaderinterdisciplinary team together with the critical mass to address a mutual challenge.In addition，international agencies and governments are sourcing expertise from theleading research universities according to their capacity to address international ornational priorities in developed and developing countries. Higher education and research are recognized internationally as engines forinnovation and economic growth，producing the academic and business leaders ofthe future while developing the capacity to address major issues facing society.TheGFC presents some significant obstacles，but also provides an opportunity to returnto core values and to regain integrity by the appropriate incorporation of socialequity，environmental sustainability and the millennium development goals. The conclusions of international conferences over the past two years of the OECD，UNESCO，the Beijing Forum and many others，have predicted that effectsof the GFC on universities will include reductions in endowments and donations，research contracts with industry，investment and credit，public funding to education and the ability of students to pay increasing tuition fees.There are apparent risks forgraduate unemployment and for the mobility of talented researchers，teachers andstudents.The dynamics of demographics，retirements and replacements of skilledresearchers and teachers are also critical factors requiring attention in planning forthe next 10 to 20 years.
