I had no idea about these numbers (ca 60% of research funds in Finland in architecture end up @TampereUni ) BUT I am not surprised to be part of Finland's MOST research active architecture school 😍 and contributing to a more sustainable tomorrow!
Replying to @ALonnq
Hyvin mahdollista. Ulkoisen rahoituksen numerot lienevät yksiselitteisempiä, tässä ne (sama lähde). Arkkitehtuuritutkimuksen ulkoinen rahoitus Suomessa 2022 yhteensä 3,938 m€, josta - TAU 2,271 m€ - Oulu 1,047 m€ - Aalto 0,577 m€ TAU-osuus tässä 57,7 %.

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.” theguardian.com/cities/2023/…

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell
