CBA is a joint entity belonging equally to Uppsala University (UU) and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), but administered through UU.
Over the years the number of people working at CBA has varied considerably as seen in the graph below. We are now coming back to the peak number of 34 persons working at CBA from 10 years ago. About 60% are employed by UU, the other 40% by SLU. The activity at CBA is similar to any department within a single university, but the administration becomes more complicated due to our close relation to two different universities.
Our total turnover for 2008 was 17 million SEK which is slightly more than 2007. About 30% comes from UU, 29% from SLU, and the rest 41% from external sources. Our ambitions are that at least half of our research should be funded from outside sources and after a dip for some years, we are approaching that level again.
