Education
Support of international cooperation in science
and engineering is an integral part of NSF's
mission. The Office of International Science and
Engineering (INT) promotes and coordinates
international cooperation by supporting new
partnerships between U.S. scientists and
engineers and their foreign colleagues, or new
cooperative projects between established
collaborators.
