During the Mode 2 and Triple Helix era in the early 2000s, most researchers agreed that such a coordination would be important. Some few researchers in Sweden instead said it actually looked very much like the Swedish sector research in the 1960s and -70s, where Industrial interests finally took over. The social interests of ordinary people, the state and industry still are very different. It was said that a collaboration between these interests, without being aware of the actual differences, would finally give room for the finacially strongest part.

All the best; Stefan

The article about the ”arenas” has today quite many citations;

Dr. Stefan Thorpenberg,

Thanks for sharing above article related to ARENAS.

This enabled my knowledge further on understanding P-P mode of collaboration.

In my view, a potential Scientist or Technologist can lead and convince collaborators and extend equal importance to all contributors for success of the Project in the national interest.

I appreciate for your interaction on above posted “Question”.
