“…Like any framework, the conceptual framework for the governance of collaborative R&D University-Industry programs portrays a partial and incomplete view of reality and should therefore be used cautiously by university and industry on designing the governance structure, considering how the temporary organization structure should work during its evolution throughout the program life cycle [59,60].Additionally, as any research based on a case study, it has limitations on the generalization of results. The results are induced from one case and might thus be contingent upon its special context, and the reasoning may be influenced by random factors.…”

Governance has a significant impact on the success of programs and projects. However, governance of collaborative university-industry projects and programs in literature, is a rather scarce topic. Based on an ethnographic study of a large university-industry collaboration, this paper proposes a conceptual framework of Organizational Enablers (OEs) to improve the governance of collaborative universityindustry R&D programs. An exploratory research was carried out, aiming to learn from the experience of program and project managers and other program stakeholders of the case under study. Qualitative data was collected using participant observation and document analysis. The framework highlights nine OEs: 'Established governance policies and values', 'Formal Governance support structures', 'Flexible organization structures', 'Standardization of program and project management practices', 'Different management approaches to fit the project needs',' Clearly defined roles and responsibilities', 'Different means of communication and interaction', 'Top management Support' and 'Projects strategic alignment within the industry and university roadmaps'.
