international collaboration
Cross-border joint effort
International collaboration is cooperative work between people, organizations, or governments from different countries toward shared goals.
The term appears frequently in scientific research, diplomacy, and humanitarian efforts: The vaccine was developed through international collaboration.
It implies pooling resources, expertise, or authority across national boundaries—distinct from one country simply hiring or directing another's workers.
