Description
Financing of R&D activities and investments in public research infrastructures and organisations across Spain.

Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Total cost (Approximate amount)

Environmental aspects
The project’s operational RDI activities do not fall under Annex I or II of the EIA Directive. Most of the RDI activities are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already used for the same scope and as such do not require a mandatory EIA. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal, including the promoter's procedures in place to ensure compliance with the relevant environmental regulations.
Procurement
The Bank will require the Promoter, as a public administration entity, to follow the EU public procurement rules (directives 2004/17/EC and 2007/18/EC) as implemented by national law. This shall include publication in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate. The promoter plans to award generally RDI funds competitively through calls for tender.
