Arctic Centre funding
The Arctic Centre’s budget comprises an appropriation granted by the Ministry of Education and the share from the University of Lapland. In 2000, the share from the University of Lapland came to about 10% and since 2003, its share amounts to over 30% of the overall budget for the Arctic Centre.
The Arctic Centre finances about 40% from its total budget through external funding. The sources are Academy of Finland, EU framework and regional programs, ministries and companies.
