TL;DR: In this paper , the authors unbox knowledge in knowledge collaboration by focusing specifically on how knowledge is understood by heterogenous actors during the process of generating knowledge, and argue that to better meet the expectations of collaboration, there is a need for more discussions and focus on the participating stakeholders' heterogenous epistemological as well as ontological understanding.

Abstract: Abstract Policymakers increasingly emphasize knowledge collaboration between academia and society as important means to generate innovations and solve complex issues. However, while recent literature on such collaboration suggests that knowledge needs to be integrated and generated across disciplines and sectors, there are surprisingly few studies that define what is meant by ‘knowledge’ or focus on the process of generating knowledge. Subsequently, the aim of this paper is to unbox ‘knowledge’ in knowledge collaboration by focusing specifically on how knowledge is understood by heterogenous actors during the process of generating knowledge. We build on insights from an in-depth case study and contribute to the literature on knowledge collaboration by bringing in theory on boundary work that specifically addresses the knowledge generation process. We argue that to better meet the expectations of collaboration, there is a need for more discussions and focus on the participating stakeholders’ heterogenous epistemological as well as ontological understanding.

Embracing the academic–practice gap: Knowledge collaboration and the role of institutional knotting
Maria Grafström,Anna Jonsson,Mikael Klintman +2 more
TL;DR: Bridging the academic-practice gap through institutional knots. Collaboration between academia and practice is hindered by differences in language, expectations, and time horizons. Institutional knots provide a framework for temporarily easing tensions and reconciling differences between researchers and practitioners.
