Results of the call for proposals — EIB Institute’s EIBURS sponsorship
(2018/C 223/08)
The EIB-University Research Sponsorship Programme (EIBURS) is part of the EIB Institute’s Knowledge Programme, through which the EIB fosters relationships with universities and research centres. EIBURS provides grants of up to EUR 100 000 per year for a period of three years to universities and research centres working on topics selected by the EIB Institute and of major interest to the EIB Group. The grants are awarded through a competitive process to interested entities in the EU, candidate countries or potential candidate countries, with recognised expertise in areas of direct interest to the EIB Group. The grant seeks to enable the chosen university or research centres to expand their activities in these areas.
For the period 2018-2020, the EIBURS programme selected two new research topics:






—


‘The economic effects of a joint European Security and Defence Policy’: the call for proposals was published in OJ C 60 of 16 February 2018 and the EIB Institute received 5 proposals from 4 different countries,










—


‘Improving the measurement of the indirect effects of investment projects: specifying and calibrating EIA methods to maximise compatibility with CBA’: the call for proposals was published in OJ C 65 of 21 February 2018 and the EIB Institute received 4 proposals from 4 different countries.




On 6 June 2018, the EIB Institute’s Internal Steering Group (ISG) decided to award:






—


the EIBURS grant on ‘The economic effects of a joint European Security and Defence Policy’ to the University of Bologna (Italy),










—


the EIBURS grant on ‘Improving the measurement of the indirect effects of investment projects: specifying and calibrating EIA methods to maximise compatibility with CBA’ to the Universidad Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain).




All applicants for both EIBURS grants have been directly informed of these results.

Information about the follow-up brought to the complaint registered under reference CHAP(2013) 2466
(2018/C 223/11)
The European Commission refers to the series of complaints it has received concerning the checks made by the Spanish authorities at the border with Gibraltar. The initial acknowledgment of receipt was published in the OJ (OJ 2013/C 246/07).
The Commission hereby wishes to inform the complainants that it has not been in a position to arrive at a decision to issue a formal notice or to close the case, as the complaint requires further verification of the evolution of the situation for persons going from Spain to Gibraltar (and vice versa), which is currently in progress.
The Commission will keep the complainants informed on the follow-up given to their complaints.
