Abstract
At the close of their June 2021 summit in Cornwall, the heads of state of the G7 nations issued a blueprint for developing potentially pivotal sovereign-to-sovereign science and technology (S&T) agreements for robust collective action in research and development (R&D): the G7 Research Compact (1). If such agreements can be properly focused and executed—and broadened over time to include other democracies—it could unlock solutions to a class of pressing global problems that can only be effectively addressed by multilateral, public-private applied R&D collaboration. Yet, an uneven track record of such collaboration thus far suggests that the G7 must modernize their international S&T agreements to generate more dexterity in establishing and managing cross-border R&D relationships, especially to enhance their economic growth and global competitiveness. To do this, the G7 must redesign their approach so that R&D collaboration is integrated into their international trade and investment agreements.
