“…Also, the results of cooperation vary depending on the networking capabilities of the RGs involved (Ordóñez‐Matamoros et al, 2020). Additionally, the availability of research equipment allows a symmetric cooperation with peers, which helps in the building a “protected space” (Knorr‐Cetina, 2001; Vinck, 1992; Whitley et al, 2018), different from the subordinated integration argued by Kreimer (2015) or the ones originated in the lack of resources (Robles‐Belmont, 2016).…”

We explore the strategies implemented by Research Groups' Leaders while coping with unstable contexts, characterized by incoherence and lack of coordination among different policy discourses and instruments, and scarce resources. We focus on a country where these conditions are present: Colombia. In doing so, we study two cases, one in nanotechnology and another one in biomedical engineering. Interviews, focus groups and workshops allowed us to identify and validate strategies grouped in four popular sayings, proper to local idiosyncrasy, highlighting the role of home institutions and principal investigators in facing such situations with resilience and resourcefulness, and even taking advantage of them. We find that Research Groups' Leaders use strategies such as: adapting, balancing agendas and funding sources, networking, and taking advantage of the support programs available at their home institution to continue functioning. These are setting the ground for a further survey which could pretend some generalization. However, policymakers could consider these findings when defining policy instruments or for assessing their effectiveness or impacts.
