Users are not able to choose any booking type other than "Regular usage". Depending on the resource settings for training and operator assisted usage, they can choose the booking types "Training" and "Operator assisted".indirectly.
For your use case, you could explore the option of using request-based booking. This way, you could allow users to assign bookings to different requests, i.e. "academic collaboration" or "industry collaboration". You can then create statistics from excel exports of bookings and/or charges.
Another way would be to use add-ons. You can create resources named "academic collaboration" and "industry collaboration" which you can add as add-ons to your regular resources. In the custom booking form, you can add the form element "resource selector" where you allow or enforce the selection of an add-on. If you choose this option, you will be able to retrieve statistics about collaborations in admin > statistics.
You can also just use configurations. However, you will have to create statistics from excel exports of bookings.
