University of Twente School of Management Governance (MB)
Enschede, 7500 AE (Overijssel), 38 hours per week
Job description
Project & Function
In certain areas of scientific research, major cognitive breakthroughs are stimulated at the intersection of established scientific disciplines and across fundamental and applied technological research, and they are often performed in diverse institutional environments. A preceding research project showed that "heterogeneous research cooperation" across different institutions and organisations in the German research system (mainly universities, Max-Planck-Institutes, Helmholtz Centres, Fraunhofer Institutes) is a constitutive characteristic of emerging fields like nano S&T (the field studied in the project). Heterogeneous cooperation is even more an issue when collaboration is crossing national borders. Here, research actors are confronted with diverse institutional environments and cultures which might have a triggering or retarding impact on effective research. In international collaboration the meso-governance of research becomes a highly complex issue; this holds in particular given the many changes and "reforms" implemented not only in the German but also in various other national research systems. Hence, a central question for the second phase of the project is how increasing international collaboration in public research, particularly in Europe, can be explained and understood from a meso-level institutional perspective that takes into account recent changes in governance structures.
