Resumen

In an environment of globalisation, intense competition and rising R&D costs, collaboration has becomean essential means of survival and relevance for organisations. Collaborative research projects bringindustry, academia and public partners together to face the challenges of rapid changes, disruptiveinnovations and transitions towards a digitalized world. However, these projects are not “typical” in theircharacteristics and therefore pose a challenge in their management and in the definition and evaluation oftheir success. This paper is a conceptual effort, based on analysis of project-specific literature and onestablished models for project management contingency theory in literature, that aims to offer a multidimensionalframework for categorizing a collaborative research project in order to facilitate the decisionon which project management approach fits it best. It is among the first of a series of publications withthe intention of offering project management solutions to collaborative research projects.
