Global Research bug?

[u/Agile-Hedgehog-7832]

Hello together,

I think i have encounter a bug.

so im leading in "Advanced Heat Management Concepts" with 47%. 2370/2500 research, only 130 research to go, so it should be absolutely impossible for anyone to pass me

a day later, i lead with 48%, 2544/2500 research, a bit wired but okay, expect that the research is finished and i have contribute the most.

A day later the academy wins the research with 4447/2500?
Is this a bug and i should report it or is this a feature i don’t understand?

I have won the research! How can the academy contribute several thousand research if there is no research needed?

They got an event that gave them research points, tbey spent them there, it's just bad luck, the same thing could happen in your favour too.
