Funding: what do our pie charts say about us?

The session explores different models for financing our institutions and tackling the biggest challenges we face in the search for a diversified and balanced model. The idea is very simple: each speaker will say a few words about their institution’s financing model, presenting a pie chart of their income sources, and describing how this financing has changed in the past few years. What do they strive for budget-wise? What were the best-sellers? What is still missing?

Each five-minute presentation will conclude with a question to attendees: what advice could they give to solve the speaker’s biggest issue? The aim is to present a variety of institutions with different types of financing, making it as simple and as informative as possible.
