Positive influence of collaboration
Collaboration
measured by:
- co-authorship (international)- number of authors,
- number of affiliations/institutions
- acknowledgements
- shared citations
Productivity
number of documents (Ponomariov and Boardman 2010)
number of documents and the number of citations (VanRaan1998; Glanzel 2001)
Visibilitynumber of citations

Enabling factors – accessibility
• Regions/cities with a major international airport are more likely to develop intensive international scientific collaboration.(Hoekman et al. 2010)
• US: After Southwest Airlines enters a new route (with lower fares), scientific collaboration increases by 50% (chemistry co‐publications, 1991‐2012).(Catalini et al. 2016)
Enabling factors – policy(Hierarchy dilemma‐ different rewards from the collaboration)
Collaboration with stronger partner is a chance for a lesser performing cities/science centers
Collaboration with weaker partners is unattractive for the best performing cities/ scientific centers
Enabling factors – policy(Openness dilemma‐ conflicting aims of different policies)
Both EU scientific policy and national scientific policies aim at strengthening interregional collaboration
Innovation policy is enhancing intraregional collaboration (smart specialization approach)
