Research institutes in the public sector have an important role not only in the higher education sector, but also in the innovation system as developers of knowledge-based society.
On average, 52 per cent of the research institutes' financing comes from the state budget. Being based on the institutes' target outcome, the share of external funding is an estimate. In terms of research volume, the largest institutes are VTT in the Ministry of Employment and the Economy sector, the Forest Research Institute and the MTT Agrifood Research in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry sector, and the National Institute for Health and Welfare in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health sector.
