Description
Financing of research activities and investment in tangible assets at the University of Karlsruhe (Technical University) in the period 2005 - 2008.
The purpose is to enhance the quality and efficiency of teaching and scientific work, and to expand research activities. 94% of the estimated investment cost is attributed to outlays for academic R&D activities, with the balance made up by capital investments in buildings and R&D infrastructure.
Objectives
Promotion of leading edge public research in EU Member States.
Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
Up to EUR 190 million.
Total cost (Approximate amount)
EUR 383 million.
Environmental aspects
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.
Procurement
German public procurement law is thought to comply fully with Directive EC/2004/18 and its predecessors, Directives 92/50/EEC, 93/36/EEC and 93/37/EEC. Hence the Promoter and the competent public authorities are expected to ensure that any required tenders be organised in full compliance with these procurement directives.
