News archive - EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has published a call for proposals for its EIBURS (EIB University Research Sponsorship) programme. EIBURS provides grants to University Research Centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the bank. EIB sponsorships, of up to EUR 100,000 annually for a period of three years, are awarded through a competitive process to interested university departments or research centres, associated with universities of Member States, Accession or Acceding Countries, with recognised expertise in EIB-selected areas. The sponsorship aims to expand their activities in these areas. Deadlines for the presentation of proposals are usually in September (September 30, 2009; September 10, 2010). Please check on the website for updates.
A EIBURS sponsorship will entitle the beneficiary (the EIBURS Centre) to obtain up to 100 000 euros/year, for a period of three years, in exchange for the commitment to develop additional activities to those normally carried out by the centre. These activities will be jointly agreed and will entail the delivery of a variety of outputs (research, education, networking, dissemination of results, etc.) that will be the subject of a contractual agreement with the Bank.
