Research projects and budgets | 2021-2022

BIRA-IASB reaches a record number of ongoing research projects
That high-quality research is paramount at BIRA-IASB is proven by the most recent list of accomplished projects.
Expenses
The vast majority of our expenditure (> 70%) is on personnel. This cost rises every year and draws increasingly from our structural federal funding source.
Smoothed evolution of income, running means over 4 years
Researchers at BIRA-IASB are pushing very hard to acquire external funding. Research resources are scarce and competition in calls for R&D projects is fierce.
Sources of income (liquidation credits; 4-year running means)
Structural government funding consisting of dotation and STCE represents about 1/3rd of our budget, and ESA funding another third.
