Mapping Diversity: Developing a European Classification of ... - U-Map

As a result of the discussion on the draft report, a new indicator was included: the total amount of
research income as a percentage of total income.

For around half of the institutions that provided a valid response research income is not a large part
of their income (less than 10%). There is also a group of institutions (6 out of 38) for which research
income is the major component of their income.
Indicator 6a: The number of start-up firms
What a start-up fi rm is and whether it is a valid indication of innovation intensiveness was discussed
intensively. Although a defi nition was given in the questionnaire, only 27 out of 67 higher education
institutions reported to have ‘produced’ start-up fi rms. Whether the 36 institutions that did not
respond to this question do not have information on this item, or actually have no start-up fi rms,
cannot be determined from the results.
