| Abstract: | Changes in knowledge production, increasing interaction between government, universities and industry, and changes in labor
markets for doctoral degree holders are forces that have spurred a debate about the organization of doctoral education and
the competencies graduates need to master to work as scientists and researchers in a triple helix research context. Recent
policy also has supported a redefinition of researcher training with increasing focus on broader skills and relevance for
careers outside the university sector. Consequently, it is pertinent to investigate current changes in doctoral education
and researcher training. Particularly further knowledge about university–industry collaboration as a context for researcher
training is required. With this in mind, this study provides empirical illustrations of how research training carried out
in collaborative research contexts is experienced by doctoral students, and offers some insight into antecedent and process
factors that are central in shaping PhD students’ research and training experience in collaborative research contexts. Based
on the empirical data and a review of existing literature, suggestions for further research are made. |
