Grundlagen einer Collaborative Research Governance

This volume outlines an organisational form for research collaborations and thus aims to contribute to the development of enabling law in the scientific field. Since Corporate Governance is tailored to businesses rather than research activities, the author develops a Collaborative Research Governance approach in order to legally reflect on both the scientific task and the cooperative objective of the association. Consequently, the organisational design adheres to the fundamental requirement of scientific adequacy. The author argues that it is therefore necessary to establish an autonomous scientific management and to ensure every researcher’s participation in the development of the cooperation.
