Trans-organisational Collaboration in Different Sectors: Epistemic Values and the Dynamics of Co-production

Fri, August 31, 11:00am to 12:30pm, ICC, C2.5

Session Submission Type: Open Panel

Abstract

The aim of this panel is to explore the co-production of research agendas in inter-organisational public/private relationships. Co-production here reflects two processes: increasing epistemic and organisational practices between public and private sectors as new science and technology platforms develop, and state-driven programmes that are based on mobilising public science for accelerated innovation and wealth generation. In this panel we ask how such co-production is reflected in the metrics used to assess the value(s) of co-produced science. The papers consider this issue in different science and technology sectors and show great variation in how co-production takes place. In the spirit of the conference the panel explores this issue within and across different national contexts, thus contributing to STS debates and those working in innovation science and technology policy analysis.
