Currently I'm working as an agile coach at a university. The setting is a research project with many partners (other universities, research institutes, governmental bodies and industry). 

I was wondering if there is any documentation, or papers, blogs on using scrum - or more in general: adopting agile ways of working - in the setting of a scientific research project.

Who can help me?

Scrum is about establishing and maintaining empiricism under complex conditions. That's what the framework is for.

So , if you are on a scientific research project and empiricism is something that has to be adopted, find out why. Scientists have been working this way for centuries. Has a disconnected management class taken over?
