Results of the call for proposals — EIB Institute’s EIBURS sponsorship

(2016/C 61/08)

The EIB-University Research Sponsorship Programme (EIBURS) is part of the EIB Institute’s Knowledge Programme, through which the EIB fosters relationships with universities. EIBURS provides grants of up to EUR 100 000 per year for a period of three years to research centres working on topics of major interest to the EIB Group. The grants are awarded through a competitive process to interested university departments or research institutes in the EU, candidate countries or potential candidate countries, with recognised expertise in areas of direct interest to the EIB Group. The grants seek to enable the chosen centres to expand their activities in these areas.

For the period 2015-2018, the EIBURS programme selected one new line of research:
