English term or phrase: driven "bottom-up"
Bonjour,

"Researchers enjoy an academic environment in which much of the research is driven "bottom-up" by interests of the researchers themselves."
Je ne comprends pas très bien le sens de cet expression ici.

Merci d'avance

de la base vers le sommet


Explanation:
Marche aussi en management par ex.
Représente bien l'idée de "pyramide inversée" : d'une base, large, vers les cadres ou chefs "intermédiaires" et jusqu'en haut de la pyramide, le dirigeant (quelqu'il soit, dans un cadre de recherche on peut envisager le directeur du labo... voire le ministre de la recherche).
