Really I should have posted this one not-for-points because you were ALL right. I ended up using "academic teamwork" which was closer to Marina's suggestion; I also owe thanks to Michael and a special apology since you participated in this question at my express invitation! Your comments were valuable.

Keyword.
Thanks, I'll probably build on that idea. I should have mentioned that in my text, the term doesn't appear in a sentence, but is an item in a list of keywords for an article in a journal.

You can say teams of professors professors working as a team,

Margaret Schroeder (asker) Mar 2, 2007:
Meaning of "colegiado" I like the suggestions so far, but I am looking for some way to take into consideration the meaning of "colegiado" (see http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/). As the contexts show, the term refers to teamwork or working in collaboration specifically in universities.

collaborative working /collaborative work

First of all, I think Marina's suggestion is substantially correct, but the uses found make it sound like a specific "buzzword" that people are supposed to memorize and parrot back, and it is also used proximate too and in comparison with "trabajo en equipo", so another choice is needed.
A Google search for "collaborative working" gets 991,000 hits and shows the same kind of explanations as are found for "trabajo colegiado". Since "collaborative working" is a travesty on the language that can only have been made popular by having been adopted as a buzzword, I consider it a very strong suspect. "Collaborative work" also gets some of the same kinds of explanations, and even more hits, but, because that would be good English, it is not as easily identifiable as being somebody's buzzword.
I suspect the Spanish is an adaptation of the English phrase, but whoever took it into Spanish had to avoid "colaborativa", naturally, as a false friend.
In any case, this is my take on it.
Example sentence:

"This chapter introduces the concept of collaborative working and considers the commercial implications of sharing information within that environment
