Europe’s 7 Most Endangered Monuments and Sites Announced

EIB Institute’s cooperation with Europa Nostra moves into its next operational phase

Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank Institute, founding partner of ‘The 7 Most Endangered’ programme, will undertake rescue missions to these heritage sites after the summer.

Nominations for the “7 Most Endangered” in 2014 can be submitted until 1 November 2013.

The European Investment Bank Institute

Call for proposals — The European Investment Bank Institute proposes two new EIBURS sponsorships within its EIB-Universities Research Action

The EIBURS Programme will provide support to EU University Research Centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the EIB.

EIBURS provides grants to university research centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the Bank. EIB sponsorships, of up to EUR 100 000 per year for a period of 3 years, are awarded through a competitive process to interested university departments or research centres associated with universities in EU, candidate or potential candidate countries, with recognised expertise in EIB-selected areas, so that they can expand their activities in these areas. Successful proposals entail the delivery of a variety of outputs (research, organisation of courses and seminars, networking, dissemination of results, etc.) that will be the subject of a contractual agreement with the Bank.
