In this lecture we present the concept of "Global Pittsburgh". "Global Pittsburgh" is not about Pittsburgh. Rather Pittsburgh is designed to be a rallying point to bring together all those world wide engaged in International research. The goal is to improve global research by establishing networks and contacts, helping each other out in an opensource system so we do not make the same dumb moves as others. We can thus learn not only by our mistakes but others. We will also build an international research incubator to facilitate the grown of sustainable and translatable international research.

We would appreciate your thoughts as to what would comprise a International Research Crossroads.
