This collective volume presents an innovative pedagogical model of research-based international student mobility called “research-tandem”. The research-tandem model and its pedagogical philosophy provide insights for the involvement of students in research from very early stages of the academic trajectory in higher education. The book also presents several interdisciplinary empirical studies (i.e., special needs education, cultural psychology, anthropology, etc.) produced by undergraduate students’ teams from different countries who participated in the mobility. Finally, commentaries from invited scholars contribute to offer valuable feedback and future directions to the tandem model.
