Collaborative Research
Forging Paths of Innovation and Impact
Collaborative Research
Most critically important scientific issues or innovative technologies can often be solved by working together with a team of researchers from different backgrounds. The merging of different fields can make possible achieving incredible goals. Collaborative research, therefore, can be defined as research involving coordination between researchers, institutions, organizations, and/or communities. This cooperation can bring distinct expertise to a project. Collaboration can be classified as voluntary, consortia, federation, affiliation, and merger and can occur at five different levels: within disciplinary, interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary or national vs international. Collaborative research has the capabilities for exchanging ideas across disciplines, learning new skills, access to funding, higher quality results, radical benefits, and personal factors such as fun and pleasure.
Need for Collaborative Research
Collaboration encourages the establishment of effective communication and partnerships and also offers equal opportunities among the team members. It honours and respects each member’s individual and organizational style. Collaboration also increases ethical conduct maintaining honesty, integrity, justice, transparency, and confidentiality.
Why Collaboration Required
Increased collaborations can save considerable time and money, and most often, breakthrough research comes through collaborative research rather than by adhering to tried and true methods. Further legislation, industry, and academia encouraged the collaboration between the private sector and academia.
Various Forms of Collaborative Research Performing at VISAT Now.
Elements of Collaboration
- Collaboration establishes channels for open communication where participants need to be encouraged to take opportunities for the renewal of the older systems
- Engaging all partners and others where they should provide feedback and engage in self-reflection
- There should be an identification of stakeholders which can serve as the feedback loop as it will help better to understand cause and effect
- Collaboration also defines the clarity of roles and responsibilities
- To establish a professional environment and to respect the different cultures of different organizations.
