Abstract

Higher education and research institutes are funded through a variety of means. As one of the primary missions of higher education and research institutions is to perform research, the funding of research plays a part in the future of these institutions. As higher education in Europe is undergoing massive transformation in relation the European Union’s Bologna Process, so has the funding of research been centralized and reformed through the EU’s research frameworks programme. The ongoing transformations of the EU in the higher education and research arenas parallel the neoliberal transformations throughout the rest of the public sphere.
