Payment model

The operating costs of the research network are shared between the institutions in proportion to their annual turnover.

In 2010, the research network introduced a payment model (or pricing model) based on the affiliated institutions' annual turnover and connections.

DeiC's research network service (Finance Act §19.17.06.11) functions in many ways as a purchasing association, where common expenses are shared according to the principles of the payment model. The overall idea of the payment model is that all expenses are shared between all institutions in proportion to their annual turnover. The research network's total expenses are around 1.5 per mille of all affiliated institutions' total annual turnover, understood as the sum of the ordinary operating expenses as stated in the accounts for the previous year.

If you want to calculate what an institution should pay to join, a good rule of thumb is to take 1.5 per mille of the annual turnover.

As some institutions have multiple connections, the payment model includes compensation for this, so that there is an additional redistribution between these institutions.
