Environmental aspects

The projects will finance mainly intangible scientific research activities as well as industrial R&D and innovation programmes. These activities include financing of research activities in environmental sciences (i.e. research projects in this specialisation) as well as the financing of the operation of the environmental research institutes. These activities have minor negative impacts and appropriate mitigation measures are planned. Additional R&D planned in the project (e.g. for energy efficiency, renewable energy etc.) may result in the production of goods and services with improved environmental characteristics. The construction of buildings is not foreseen within the investment. The Bank requests the Promoter to comply with relevant environmental legislation.
