| Project Detail |
The Lending Envelope concerns investments in the construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of education and research infrastructure at several public universities located in France.
Objectives
The proposed lending envelope is designed to assist public universities in France in improving readiness to contribute to the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area by strengthening its teaching and research capabilities. Accordingly, the project is consistent with EU actions aimed at increasing investment in research and human capital formation in a member state. With the exception of the capital region Île de France and the Rhône-Alps region, all regions concerned by the lending envelope are EIB Cohesion Priority Regions. At least 59% of investments under the lending envelope are expected to be carried out in regions classified as transition or developing regions. Part of the cost will be used to improve energy efficiency of the buildings and to reduce energy consumption. As a result, the project will also contribute to the environmental targets of the EU.
