8 Economic and administrative consequences

The proposed amendments to section 1-5 of the Universities and University Colleges Act are essentially a clarification of the current regulations and will not have significant economic or administrative consequences.

The proposal to include a dissemination indicator in the funding system entails a redistribution of the funding within the closed framework of the performance-based part of the allocation. This proposal will therefore not have any economic consequences. The administrative consequences will be minor relative to the total administration of the current system.

The other proposals are not expected to have significant economic or administrative consequences.
