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:
