In 2024, the total income of ZIB comprised 29.1 mil-lion euros. A major part of this was made available by the Federal State of Berlin as the basic financial stock of ZIB (about 9.0 million euros), including general invest-ments. The basic financial stock was complemented by the budget of the NHR center at ZIB (7.3 million euros in 2023, made available by the Federal State of Berlin but co-funded by the federal government and other German federal states participating in HLRN). Another major part of the budget are the third-party funds (a total of 10.4 million euros) acquired by ZIB from public funding agencies (mainly DFG and BMBF), via industrial research, and service projects. Lastly, there is a variety of further grants, such as the research service budget of KOBV and digis, amounting to just over 2.3 million euros, as well as a small amount of other income not related to research or research service.
The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) finances its scientific work via three main sources: the basic financial stock of the Federal State of Berlin, and third-party funds from public sponsors, and those from industrial cooperation and service contracts. In 2024, ZIB raised third-party funding through a large number of projects, with the to-tal amount being 10.3 million euros – an all-time record. From project-related public funds, ZIB received a total of 8.3 million euros in 2024, complemented by 2.0 million euros from industry projects.
