1) To form a successful research collaboration with other researchers
from different fields, you first need a need. There must be an important research question that can be answered only by a multi-disciplinary research.
2) Next you have to assemble a group with appropriate skills and expertise.
3) Next you need to be able to speak a common language.
4) Furthermore, you need to be able to trust each other (in reporting results and in your commitment to finishing the work). You all need to be team members.
