EUA Webinar: Performance-based funding of Universities

EUA Webinar: Performance-based funding of Universities: "Higher education institutions across Europe face today a demanding and complex financial context. The level of public investment in universities is going down in many countries since the start of the financial and economic crisis in 2008. Only a few countries keep up or increase their financial contribution to the sector and even those who did so far, begin to struggle recently. In addition traditional modes of public funding have been transformed and continue to evolve. Linking public funding to institutional performance is becoming more frequent. This webinar will give an overview of “Performance-based Funding of Universities in Europe” and focus in particular on funding formulae with output indicators (such as numbers of graduates) and performance contracts. It will discuss the opportunities, risks and limits of performance-based funding and offer advice and good practice examples from across Europe. Thus it will be of particular interest to university leaders and managers with regard to their strategic planning and internal funding allocation at institutional level. For policy makers, public authorities and funders it will furthermore provide key recommendations for the design and implementation of sustainable and efficient university funding systems."
