For each research issue, such an analysis conveys which research groups are keen on participating in corresponding project consortia,
for instance by encouraging the research groups to respond to calls for proposals in a full awareness of what other groups in other countries have shared interests.
portfolio creation) reflections on what road to take for actors such as research groups, or start-ups), or which roads to support (for programme managers).
A map of paths can be embedded as a central element in a support system to articulate the most robust8 strategy for research groups, start-ups and programme committees (strategic/strategy support system, SSS.
In the University of Hull case, we see a research group becomes the systems integrator and builds its network around them with a view to transition to a company after proof of concept. 6. Discussion
MPM can be of use at the level of research group leaders, portfolio managers, and start-up companies.

i) locally, within a firm or research group,(ii) more general, within a technical scientific field, and (iii) more global and diffuse, in society at large (see Fig. 3). The vertical dimension lists the three levels of aggregation.
The first level deals with research groups. Here, research is done at very specific subjects. The second level refers to a 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999

Therefore, we name the level of the research group: nanotubes used in nonvolatile memories, the level of the technological field;
