Dr. Isabel Estrada is an Associate Professor at the Department of Innovation Management & Strategy, Faculty of Economics & Business (FEB), University of Groningen (UG). Before joining the UG in August 2012, Isabel earned a PhD student position at the University of Valladolid (Spain), co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Regional Government of Castilla y Leon. She received her PhD title in April 2012, with a dissertation on ‘Collaboration and Value Creation in Multi-Partner R&D alliances’. With this work, she received the ‘Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation in Social Sciences Award’ (2012-2013, University of Valladolid) and, with a related project, the '10th Juan José Renau Piqueras Award in Economic Research' (Campus Ontinyent Foundation, University of Valencia).

Isabel teaches/has taught courses on Collaborative & Organizational Innovation, as well as Case Study methods, in different education programmes (Master of Science, Research Master, Executive Master, Bachelor and Pre-Master). Currently, she is the Director of the MSc BA - since September 2023. Along her career, Isabel has received teaching awards: 'Best Newcomer Award' (FEB, UG, 2013) and a 'Fellowship for Innovation of teaching Award' (UG, 2017).

Her research focuses on collaborative innovation with an emphasis on interorganizational governance and 'particularly challenging' collaborative strategies, such as alliances between competitors (coopetition), multi-partner R&D alliances, large public-private projects or Industry-University alliances. Her work has been published in journals such as Research Policy, Long Range Planning, Journal of Operations Management, Bristish Journal of Management, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Small Business Management, Journal of Knowledge Management, and Innovation: Management, Policy and Practice, as well as several book chapters. 

Isabel is also a fellow of the ‘FEBRI Research Institute’ and a member of the 'Leadership & Governance' Interdisciplinary Theme of the UG. In addition, she serves as regular/ad-hoc reviewer for journals such as Research Policy, Industry & Innovation, British Journal of Management, R&D Management, Industrial Marketing Management and Long Range Planning. She has been involved in several research projects, like the project 'How can larger organisations also be innovative organisations?' funded by the European Investment Bank (EIBURS Line of Research 2015-2018) and coordinated a project on conflicts in research consortia (EURAM 2020 Grant Scheme; grant ID: 42). For valorization and enrichment of research and teaching activities (e.g. expert consultation, guest lectures), she seeks to connect with relevant organizations and writes blogs for ' Value in Collaborative Innovation-VinCi' (no income received). In 2021, Isabel has been appointed Co-Chair of the SIG Strategic Management of Euram. She has served as Editorial Review Board member for Journal of Management Studies 2018-2023 (both positions are unpaid).
