University research expenditure went up by a good EUR 70 million in
2009. The University of Helsinki is clearly the largest research
university in Finland, representing nearly one quarter of the
whole research expenditure of universties.
One half of university R&D expenditure comes from sources outside the university budgets. However, most of the extramural financing is still government funding, allocated by the Academy of Finland and Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes), for example.
