Context: Research collaborations between software engineering industry andacademia can provide significant benefits to both sides, including improvedinnovation capacity for industry, and real-world environment for motivating andvalidating research ideas. However, building scalable and effective researchcollaborations in software engineering is known to be challenging. While suchchallenges can be varied and many, in this paper we focus on the challenges ofachieving participative knowledge creation supported by active dialog betweenindustry and academia and continuous commitment to joint problem solving.Objective: This paper aims to understand what are the elements of a successfulindustry-academia collaboration that enable the culture of participativeknowledge creation. Method: We conducted participant observation collectingqualitative data spanning 8 years of collaborative research between a softwareengineering research group on software V&V and the Norwegian IT sector. Thecollected data was analyzed and synthesized into a practical collaborationmodel, named the Certus Model. Results: The model is structured in sevenphases, describing activities from setting up research projects to theexploitation of research results. As such, the Certus model advances othercollaborations models from literature by delineating different phases coveringthe complete life cycle of participative research knowledge creation.Conclusion: The Certus model describes the elements of a research collaborationprocess between researchers and practitioners in software engineering, groundedon the principles of research knowledge co-creation and continuous commitmentto joint problem solving. The model can be applied and tested in other contextswhere it may be adapted to the local context through experimentation.
