The vast majority of our expenditure is on personnel. There is less room for hiring statutory personnel.
New record number of ongoing research projects
Most of our projects are funded by ESA or Prodex, making us dependent on continued funding.
Sources of income (liquidation credits; 4-year running means)
Structural government funding represents 1/3rd of our budget, ESA 1/3rd.
