Our Mission is to further the objectives of the European Union by making long-term finance available for sound investment.
The EIB Group promotes Corporate Responsibility through its mission and activities in the service of the European Union, through the way it implements these and through its internal management.
The EIB attaches great importance to engaging with civil society and building cooperative relations with its representatives.
In parallel with its lending activity in the education sector, the Bank has developed the EIB-Universities Research Action to channel its institutional support to higher education and academic research.
This Action is designed to respond in a consistent way to requests from European universities for financial assistance in particular but also for Research Action. It mainly consists of the three programmes: EIBURS, STARBEI and EIB University Networks.
For more information on the the Bank's EIB-Universities Research Action consult the EIB Institute website.
During this year’s European Regional Science Association congress, the word’s largest regional science congress, the annual EIB-ERSA Prize for regional science went to Professor Piet Rietveld. The theme of the 51st ERSA congress, which took place in Barcelona between 30th August and 3rd September, was “New challenges for European regions and urban areas in a globalised world”.
