Funding for Higher Education, Science and Innovation falls 7.6%
The 2027 State Budget proposal allocates 3.855 billion euros to higher education, science, and innovation, a 7.6% decrease compared to 2026 estimates. The budget includes 125 million euros for social action and student welfare, with full implementation of the new scholarship regulation scheduled for the 2027/2028 academic year.
Why it mattersWhile this is a budget proposal, the planned 7.6% cut in overall funding for higher education may impact institutional resources and future support programs for students in the coming year.
