Research into differentiation and profiling of knowledge producing institutions through the lenses of
institutional logics and field embeddedness have proliferated in recent years. By discussing this
process in the context of research groups, as those basic units in which knowledge production
epistemically and practically takes place, this article offers a contribution to the theoretical discussion
on organisational differentiation. Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups
operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and
interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles
as heuristic devices to explore both the embeddedness and strategic agency of research groups.
