Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Intercultural collaboration

We are delighted to present the technical program for the International Conference on Intercultural Collaboration, ICIC 2010. As noted elsewhere, this is the third conference in a series. The call for papers attracted 39 regular submissions and 38 late-breaking submissions from Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East and Latin America. The program committees accepted 18 regular papers and 29 late-breaking papers. In addition to these papers, the conference also included two keynote speakers and two panels. Bjorn Z. Ekelund (Human Factors Norway) was the keynote speaker on the first day, and Jemilah Mahmood (United Nations, Mercy Malaysia) was the second day's keynote speaker. The members of the Program Committee and all of the reviewers are listed elsewhere in these proceedings. We are grateful for the careful attention all of these people gave to the submissions. This is still an emerging community, and we are delighted that so many people are willing to help it along. We expect that these proceedings, along with those from the previous two conferences, will constitute a rich resource for those interested in intercultural collaboration. The diversity of topics revealed across the three conferences shows what a lively and growing area this is. We hope you find the program useful and inspirational as you try to grapple with the complex issues involved in intercultural collaboration.We hope that you will find this program interesting and thoughtprovoking and that the symposium will provide you with a valuable opportunity to share ideas with other researchers and practitioners from institutions around the world.
