Sticky partnerships or fresh starts? How failed project applications shape organisations’ collaborative behaviour in R&D networks Prior inter-organisational collaboration is a well-established antecedent of tie formation in competitive publicly funded R&D networks. But what happens when organisations come together to develop ...

In our latest study with P. D'Este, we show that:
➕Failed experiences foster social proximity between orgs
➕Orgs are reluctant to abandon established R&D ties despite funding rejection, to recoup their search and proposal costs
➕Those ties are especially sticky when partners are cognitively distant

What happens when organisations come together to develop a joint R&D proposal and apply for funding, but their application is unsuccessful🚫Does this contribute differently to social proximity and future tie formation than when funding is secured❓

Does collaboration outside academia lead to greater scientific impact? - Impact of Social Sciences Collaborations with non-academic partners can boost research impact,especially for well-known scientists, argue Carolin Nast, Oscar Llopis, Dima Yankova and Pablo D'Este.

➕ Moreover, the type of engagement also plays a role. Joint research (as opposed to response-mode interactions) positively influences the achievement of scientific advances 🧬 bi-directional knowledge flows are important for scientific impact 🤝

➕ Experience and reputation matter! Scientists with high level of peer recognition are better able to exploit the opportunities offered by academic engagement to produce cutting-edge research! 🔬🧪

Key findings:
🔍Academic engagement is positively associated with scientific impact💡But there's more to the story ⬇️

Happy to share the fruits of a rewarding collaboration with Carolin Nast, @ollop.bsky.social, and Pablo D'Este; out now in Technovation. We use survey data to explore the connection between scientists' engagement with non-academic actors and the production of cutting-edge research 🧵
