Biggest advantage to have a joint collaboration on such a big project is that it reduces the cost. Scientists from different countries can share their expertise well if they all get together on one project. ISS is been working efficiently and finding many insights of what was not understood before.
The International Space Station (ISS) cost approximately $150 billion to build and operate over its lifetime. This includes contributions from multiple countries that participate in the ISS program.
Currently right now the International Space Station is the only space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station with such international participation that it can be really be considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
