    Description
    Objectives

    The project will cover part of the research and development investment programme in the field of cancer treatment and diagnosis including particule accelerators.

    The objective of the project is to support the promoter R&D program.

    Environmental aspects
    Procurement

    The R&D activities encompassed within this project will not materially change current R&D practices and will be carried out within existing facilities, making use of existing laboratories, pilot plants, clinical centres etc. Thus an EIA according to the EU Directive 97/11, as amended by Directive 2003/35 is not required.

    The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.

    Comments

    The project is eligible under Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF). RSFF is an innovative credit risk sharing scheme jointly set up by the European Commission and the European Investment Bank to improve access to debt financing for private companies or public institutions promoting activities with a higher financial risk profile in the fields of research, technological development, demonstration and innovation investments.
