The success of previous UMD TAU joint research workshops led to the use of this model by the UMD Division of Research for collaborations with the State of São Paulo in Brazil and Ulster University in the United Kingdom. Workshops on the burning of biomass, nanoscience and solar cells, gravitational waves and neutron stars, and geometry beyond Euclidian space were funded by São Paulo Researchers in International

Collaboration program grants. Ulster-UMD Joint Research Workshops focused on intelligent robotic systems; developing a cross-national event dataset, and cityscapes, on peace; and addressing the social determinants of health to eliminate health inequalities. Further extensions of the joint research workshop model are planned, including partnerships with Lund University, Sweden; the University of New South Wales, Australia; Auckland University, New Zealand; University College Dublin, Ireland; and University College Cork, Ireland.
