Foreword In an increasingly globalized and competitive world, scientists have to face extremely complex research questions, rapidly changing technologies and an exponential growth of knowledge. Against this background, it becomes more and more unlikely that a single individual, research group or organization possesses all of the knowledge required to conduct research projects itself. Hence, collaborative R&D projects with other individuals or groups represent an important way of sourcing external knowledge. In this context, knowing and understanding the drivers and barriers of knowledge sharing becomes an absolute prerequisite for the success of any collaborative effort. This holds all the more true for research-intensive fields, such as the natural sciences or engineering. While industrial R&D in these fields of
