WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE

Collaborations are voluntary, joint actions of different parties to achieve a common goal. This is a straightforward concept in principle, but often more complex in the real world, especially on a global arena. This session aims at increasing awareness about drivers for collaboration between industry and academia. Are they the same for industry and academia? How can we handle conflicts of interest and meet the overall strategies of the companies and universities? This session will discuss both the strategic and tactical drivers for engaging in collaboration activities, as well as some of the distinguishing features of the various types of collaborations used. The session will also look at research collaboration models and support structures from both an academic and an industrial perspective. We will look at drivers for collaboration through the different phases of collaboration; from initial contacts up to a more strategic level.
