Abstract

Scientific research teams often find themselves in remote working situations due to their internationality. Incredibly complex technological projects demand close collaboration and knowledge-sharing management. Remote teamwork, especially in cutting-edge scientific technology development, comes with various challenges that can negatively influence the overall team performance and commitment to the project. Within the EU-Japan (EU-/MIC-funded) project e-VITA, a consortium of 22 multidisciplinary partners and around 80 people work on research regarding a virtual assistant for healthy and active aging. We conducted qualitative data within the consortium after nine months of teamwork to understand the influence of collaboration on commitment, personal performance, efficiency, and work outcome. Based on this research's outcome, we built a framework for future scientific research projects and consortia to increase efficiency and quality of teamwork, thus researchers’ well-being.
