Funding by Targets

The University of Catalonia supports a new and fairer funding model that is adapted to new needs, which has as its starting point the task of balancing the budget and which calls for increased funding for selected items related to the promotion of excellence and the development of unique projects in the European context. Moreover, the full, indirect costs of R&D activities are requested to be included in university funding. Finally, the University advocates the need to move towards a diversification of funding sources and promote legislation to encourage patronage and tax benefits arising from investment in higher education, research and innovation.
