Summary sheet
Various universities and research institutions located in the federal State of Sachsen-Anhalt.
The purpose of the project is to co-finance the Federal State of Sachsen-Anhalt’s eligible recurrent wage costs of scientists and academic workers employed in public scientific institutes and public universities and colleges as well as outlays for capital investments in research infrastructure and scientific equipment during the period 2009-2011.
By co-financing public R&D investments the project will assist Germany, and by extension the EU, in improving essential research capability. The proposed operation would be fully in line with the Bank’s priority of lending to projects in R&D and innovative downstream investment.
Because the RDI projects will be carried out within existing science facilities, detrimental effects on sites of nature conservation are unlikely. It is, therefore, not expected that any RDI component will require an EIA as defined by EU Directive 97/11/EC. This will be verified during appraisal.
Germany has adopted the relevant EU Directives into national law. All investments will be open to interested contractors on the basis of fair competition and non-discriminatory terms. Notably for contracts exceeding the relevant thresholds, tender notices will be published in the OJEU.
