Lessons Learned from the Study of Multi-organizational Collaborations in Science and Implications for the Role of the University in the 21st Century

The chapter addresses forms of research which engage teams spread over one or more institutions. The practice to pool ‘brains’ has become evident since WWII; the subsequent fashion to build ‘science parks’ followed this tradition; and other forms of pooling became necessary when research depended on costly infrastructure.
