This research aims to gain knowledge on how inter-organisational collaborative innovation and research projects can be initiated through a systematic workshop series. A series of workshops was planned and executed by an intermediator organisation. Sixteen participants representing academia, industry, and funding institutions were invited with the goal of initiating collaborative innovation or research projects. Data were collected through observations, statement-based questionnaires, and interviews. At the end of the workshop series, no projects were initiated. The problems were identified as the intermediator\u2019s lack of knowledge in selecting and preparing participants for this setting, but also the participants\u2019 lack of knowledge regarding innovation work and collaboration on an inter-organisational basis. Further research is suggested. <\/p>\n
