TUMENAS, Felipe. Financing of the leading universities in international rankings, a path for Brazilian public universities?. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.270-287. ISSN 1982-5765. https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000100015.
Brazilian public universities face challenges in their funding. Budget cuts come together with increased demand for research, internationalization and better performance in international rankings. Proposals for solving this dilemma are based on isolated funding ideas from international universities. This article lists the main revenue sources from the leading universities in international rankings. Looking at the annual reports from 2014 to 2018, we can see that there is no single financing pattern at these universities. Moreover, the most relevant revenue source for these universities is research, and much part of the research revenue comes from public funding, indicating that any solution to the university funding issue must include active state participation, and that the pursuit of possible funding solutions in international institutions should be done with extreme caution.
