A report on the 2007 iGov Research Institute: overcoming four dimensions of language barriers

Multi-disciplinary, international collaborative research is not an easy task. A number of doctoral students interested in the field of digital government research got together in New York City for the Annual Institute on International Digital Government Research (iGov Research Institute) and had a week-long experience in international and multi-disciplinary collaboration. This paper will provide a report on those students' experiences of overcoming dimensions of language barriers and promoting international, multi-disciplinary research.
