LOPEZ, María Paz. Capacidades y condiciones institucionales de internacionalización en los grupos de investigación. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2013, n.46, pp.69-93. ISSN 1851-1716.

The influence of local conditions of scientific knowledge production on the internationalization of scientific research teams, in particular those in Argentinian universities, is reviewed in this paper. We will first explore the concept of scientific internationalization considering not only those activities developed at the international level from an explicit cooperation, but also those carried out unilaterally by research groups. We will also propose the concepts of capabilities for internationalization and institutional conditions for internationalization in order to inquire into the abilities built up by the actors in research groups as well as the possibilities offered by the broader institutional frameworks within which they move for the internationalization of their activities.
