How much does the licence for higher education institutions cost?

The Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences Arene, Universities Finland UNIFI and Kopiosto have agreed upon the remuneration per student. The remuneration is based on surveys on the amount and content of copying and the price per page. The remuneration for the licence is distributed to the authors and publishers of the works.

Copyright remuneration per student in 2019:

The remuneration per student agreed upon with UNIFI and Arene does not apply to copies and education charged from students or continuing education. Higher education institutions need to acquire our separate copying licence for such education and copying purposes.

  1. the total amount of copies charged from students in the last school year reported by the licensee to Kopiosto,
  2. surveys on the amount and content of copying and
  3. the copyright remuneration per page.

The copyright remuneration per page for chargeable copying in the school year 2018/2019 is ¢7.25 + VAT 10 %.

The minimum invoiced amount is €79.80 + VAT 10 %.
