Summary sheet
The purpose of the project is to co-finance the city of Berlin's eligible investments in research performed by academic staff and scientists at the three public universities, up to three public universities of applied sciences as well as up to 13 public non-university research institutes in the period 2016-2017.
The project aims to strengthen research in Berlin.
The project concerns public research to be carried out in existing facilities, already authorised for the same purpose and not expecting materially to change current research and development (R&D) practices at these institutions. The project will therefore not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) under Directive 2011/92/EU. The project may also include research activities on live animals for scientific purposes. The compliance of the promoter's standards and methodologies with Directive 2010/63/EU will be verified during appraisal. Full environmental details will be assessed during appraisal.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directives 2004/18/EC and/or 2004/17/EC as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
