N2 - The aim of this paper is to use case studies from physics collaborations to determine the influence of competition for both tangible and intangible resources as well as cooperative behavior among collaboration members representing different institutions on the quality of knowledge shared by the participants and their satisfaction by the collaboration practices. An interview study spanning 33 informants in 3 international scientific projects was launched to collect data on expert views concerning relationships of cooperation and competition. This work aims at verifying the research hypothesis which claims that both cooperation and competition between teams have positive effects on the quality of knowledge created by scientific projects. The sample is limited by its size by three projects. Another limitation is associated with a small variety of scientific disciplines, which may affect the relations of cooperation. The results indicate that the effectiveness is achieved as a result of the synergy of two contradictory relationships in the process of creating high-quality knowledge in the processes of a scientific nature. The paper reports on the views of experts from many countries representing both academia and practice.
