Resumen

This paper examines research collaboration between the Brazilian state-controlled oil company, Petrobras, and universities from 1980 to 2014. Despite the importance of universityindustry research collaboration in Brazilian oil industry, there are few comprehensive and long-time spam studies on this topic. This paper helps to fill a gap in the academic literature by providing comparative historical data on research collaboration between Petrobras and Brazilian universities. Based on the co-authored publications by Petrobras we analyze changes in intensity of this collaboration and its geographical orientation, inter-organizational level and scientific knowledge base. Furthermore, we address the issue of whether changes in Brazilian R&D funding policy have affected trends in collaboration. Our findings show an increasing collaboration between Petrobras and Brazilian universities, resulting in an enlargement of the company’s network collaboration and reinforcing its knowledge base.
