Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Standard arrangement

At German universities proceeds are divided by way of a so-called
"thirds arrangement" (Drittelregelung) as standard. By this, the
professorship, or the working group receives one third of the proceeds,
one third is given to the faculty in order to support the
subject-related infrastructure, and one third is put at the
university's disposal for the support of the general infrastructure.
