Notes:

Statistics acquired from Education Statistics Finland. The Universities of Applied Science are grouped into one row because of the large number of them and the lack of data from individual institutions. Category abbreviations are V: Vehicles, BE: Buildings and energy use, BT = Business travel, C = Commuting, P = Procurement, F = Food, I = Investments. N/A = Not announced, TBA = to be announced, ID = institution dependent
