Funding
2018 was a year of planned financial stabilization for IIASA following a challenging year in 2017. Total income grew by 7% from €21.1 million in 2017 to €22.7 million in 2018, with total expenditure declining marginally from €23.0 million to €22.6 million. At €17.4 million, almost 80% of the institute’s total spending in 2018 was on research and scientific services, while it was also possible to consolidate spending on administration services and infrastructure. IIASA operated within its financial means in 2018, with the positive change in net assets serving to strengthen fiscal reserves.
The institute’s annual budget in 2018 was €22.7 million, of which over 53% was from research funding agencies in member countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. These diverse sources of income enable IIASA to perform research that is truly independent. The institute receives additional funding from contracts, grants, and donations from governments, international organizations, academia, businesses, and individuals. Between 2017 and 2018 this additional funding increased by 25% from €8.4 million to €10.5 million.
