ERICH SCHMID INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS SCIENCE<br />
Finances<br />
eSi’s basic funding by the Austria Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) has been stagnating at a<br />
relative constant level with 1.414 mio€ in 2007 and 1.400 mio€ in 2011 according to the annual<br />
budget letters. in 2012 the ÖAW institute budget was reduced to 1.358 mio€ and will further<br />
decrease significantly in 2013. only the transfer of one group (application oriented Spd)<br />
allowed the successful continuation of the research work. in 2012, 446 k€ had been acquired<br />
by third party funds registered via eSi-ÖAW (see figure below).<br />
the budget for the chair of materials physics (mp) from the montanuniversität Leoben<br />
decreased from 582 k€ in 2007 to 455 k€ in 2012 and contains materials expenses of only<br />
19 k€. the additional support by the BmWf (ministry of science) for the transferred research<br />
group in 2012 was 116K€. the third party project volume via the chair of materials physics<br />
was about 582K€.<br />
All investments and even a large part of the material expenses could only be realized via<br />
third party projects. Besides the third party project volume of about 1.1mio.€ of the research<br />
alliance eSi and mp, it has to be noted that in addition 8 scientists (mainly doctoral students)<br />
are financed by project partners (mcL, Vif, KAi (infineon)) working at the institute.<br />
