Summary sheet
Financing of research activities and investment in tangible assets at the University of Stuttgart in the period 2005-2008. As the university's infrastructure was adequately extended and modernised in the recent past, its budget is focused on research and teaching. The purpose of this project is to help the university in expanding its research activities. The project definition gives priority to basic research in cost-intensive disciplines such as materials science/nanotechnology, energy and information technology.
Promotion of leading edge public research in EU Member States.
The Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal States are subject to applicable EU Law and have adopted environmental legislation in line with standards mandated by the relevant EU Directives. The R&D activities to be considered will be carried out within existing university infrastructures and research facilities and are not expected to materially change current R&D practice at the university.
German public procurement law complies fully with Directive EC/2004/18/EC and its predecessors, Directives 92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC. Hence the Promoter and the competent authorities will ensure that any required tenders are organised in compliance with these procurement directives. This will be verified during appraisal.
