Finances

CBA is financed through the two universities and through research grants and contracts. Some of the personnel expenses are covered by undergraduate education at UU, mostly by the PhD students of both universities, who all teach 15% of their time. (The UU Lecturers' teaching is not included in our finances.)

The summary in Table 1 describes our overall economy for the year 2004. Since part of our economy is handled at UU and part at SLU, this summary is based on joining the two accounts and clearing internal transactions between the universities. The numbers are rounded to the nearest 1000 SEK. The same numbers for income and costs are also given as pie charts in Figure 1. Which projects that are financed by whom can be ascertained in Section 5.1, where each project is listed.

Changes in income from last year is that Governmental grants have increased by 1.1 million SEK and funding from UU has increased by one postgraduate position (``forskarassistent"), 0.6 million. Non-governmental grant, contracts, ans SLU funding are roughly the same.

Total turnover has increased only 0.1 million from last year (much of the funds used during 2003 had arrived already 2002, thus the seeming discrepancy when looking when looking at the increase in income). The same is true this year - some of the 2004 income is intended for 2005. The major costs are for personnel (salaries). To have a balanced economy, we have continued the process to decrease the number of permanent employees. It should be noted that after 2004, we have no saved resources. In fact, we have an old deficit in our common economy that we are now trying to pay off, from project money, during the next five years.

The total turnover is thus 12.1 million for 2004, compared to 12.1 million for 2003. The percentage of research financed from outside sources have increased from 39% to 42% but this is not enough. During past years it has for a number of years been about 50%. We are very actively trying to reach this figure again - but will not do so during 2005. In fact, it will in all probability decrease.
