Income Third Flow of Money at Universities

This table provides information on the expenditure and financing of research and development (R & D) in the Netherlands. When performing R & D three sectors are identified: companies, Public research institutes and universities. This table provides figures on the income obtained from contract research from the so-called third flow of money at universities. For the sake of completeness, the income was also obtained with other activities from the third flow of money. The third money flow involves financing from the private sector or from the (semi-)government, but for specified assignments. The latter in in contrast to the general government contribution to the activities of universities (first funding stream) and funding from general resources through intermediary organisations such as the Dutch organisation for Scientific Research (second flow of money).
