The institutes are part of the TO2 federation of applied research institutes (together with TNO, Deltares, ECN, MARIN and NLR). The figures by funding source for 2015 are not fully comparable with previous years, as from 2015 onwards only include EU subsidies are included under revenue from the EU. Until 2014, revenue from the EU included other contracted research for the EU (tenders). This reallocation produces a shift of around € 7 million, between income from the EU and Contract research from government.
