The research entrepreneur is directing his environment by creating demand for his scientific products instead of supplying on the demand of his environment. The first results of a few cases from an empirical study conducted at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology confirm the feasibility of the model in creating observables for the different modes of strategic positioning of the researcher, in this case MESA+.
