The European Youth Foundation (EYF) is a fund established by the Council of Europe to provide financial support for European youth activities. It aims to encourage co-operation amongst young people in Europe by providing financial support to youth activities. It concerns activities, which serve the promotion of peace, understanding and co-operation in a spirit of respect for human rights, democracy, tolerance and solidarity.

The EYF provides financial support to the following types of activity undertaken by youth NGOs or networks, or by other NGOs involved in the areas of youth work relevant to the Council of Europe's youth policies and work:
- educational, social, cultural and humanitarian activities of a European character
- activities aiming at strengthening peace and co-operation in Europe
- activities designed to promote closer co-operation and better understanding among young people in Europe, particularly by developing the exchange of information
- activities intended to stimulate mutual aid in Europe and in the developing countries for cultural, educational and social purposes
- studies, research and documentation on youth matters.

In order to obtain the EYF's support, it is essential that projects fall within the Council of Europe's values and work, and the Youth Sector Priorities for 2022/2023.

1. Revitalising pluralistic democracy
2. Young people’s access to rights
3. Living together in peaceful and inclusive societies
4. Youth work.

The EYF may support the following operations:
A. International activity - including meetings of young people or youth leaders in Europe in order to promote participation and intercultural learning. Participants must represent at least 7 Council of Europe member states. It has to be run by an international team (4 nationalities represented in the project team). The EYF will cover up two-thirds of the total cost. Maximum grant: € 20,000.

Each activity/element should contribute to the aim of the work plan and the accomplishments of the work plan as a whole should contribute to the global purpose of the organisation. These activities would be part of and support your NGO's strategy or action plan for the coming years. Maximum grant: € 50,000.

The European Commission co-finances information measures relating to the common agricultural policy (CAP) that aim, in particular, at building trust within the EU and among all citizens, farmers and non-farmers alike. The common agricultural policy (CAP) is a policy for all the citizens of the EU and the benefits that it provides to them must be clearly demonstrated.

Objectives
For the general public, the objective is to raise public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP.
For stakeholders, the objective is to engage with stakeholders (mainly farmers and other parties active in rural areas) in order to further communicate about the CAP to their constituencies, and to the wider public.

 Support will go to actions which should include several of the following types of measures:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material,
- web and social media campaigns
- media events,
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP related issues,

Themes
The proposals for information measures shall illustrate how the CAP should continue contributing towards the delivery of the Commission's political priorities. The common agricultural policy is one of the EU's most important policies. It is a partnership between agriculture and society and between Europe and its farmers. It is a common policy for all the countries of the EU. The CAP has a number of aims such as supporting farmers and improving agricultural production, maintaining rural areas and landscapes, keeping the rural economy alive and helping tackle climate change and the sustainable management of natural resources.

The proposals submitted should:
- provide coherent, objective and comprehensive information, both inside and outside the Union, in order to give an accurate overall picture of the CAP;
- show the benefits of the CAP to Europe, European farmers and European citizens and addressing misperceptions and disinformation about European agriculture and the CAP (using facts and backed up with data with a view to raising public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP);
- show the role of farming in society and promote understanding of the enormous contribution which the EU agri-food sector provides to the wider EU economy;
- address the sustainability of agriculture, focusing on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of the CAP.

Activities
The information measures should include one or several activities such as:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material;
- web and social media campaigns;
- media events;
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP-related issues.

Target public:
- rural communities, agricultural stakeholders, farmers and other potential beneficiaries of rural development measures;
- general public (with particular attention to young people in urban areas)

More specifically:
- for school children, teachers and university students: novel approaches should be used to engage with young people and raise their awareness of the CAP and the contribution that it makes in many areas such as the climate change challenge, food, healthy and high quality eating as a lifestyle choice, in relation also with the EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables and Tartu Call.
- for stakeholders: it should be ensured that there is greater awareness of the contribution that the CAP makes to the sustainability of agriculture.

The information measures should be implemented:
- at multiregional or national level of an EU Member State, or 
- at European Union level (in two or more Member States).

The maximum duration of information measures is 12 months.

Temi
Le proposte di misure di informazione illustrano come la PAC dovrebbe continuare a contribuire alla realizzazione delle priorità politiche della Commissione. La politica agricola comune è una delle politiche più importanti dell'UE. È un partenariato tra l'agricoltura e la società e tra l'Europa e i suoi agricoltori. È una politica comune per tutti i paesi dell'UE. La PAC ha una serie di obiettivi come sostenere gli agricoltori e migliorare la produzione agricola, mantenere aree e paesaggi rurali, mantenere viva l'economia rurale e aiutare ad affrontare i cambiamenti climatici e la gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali.
Le proposte presentate dovrebbero:
- fornire informazioni coerenti, obiettive e complete, sia all'interno che all'esterno dell'Unione, al fine di fornire un quadro generale accurato della PAC;
- mostrare i benefici della PAC per l'Europa, gli agricoltori europei e i cittadini europei e affrontare le idee sbagliate e la disinformazione sull'agricoltura europea e la PAC (utilizzando fatti e supportati da dati al fine di sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla pertinenza del sostegno dell'UE all'agricoltura e sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC);
- mostrare il ruolo dell'agricoltura nella società e promuovere la comprensione dell'enorme contributo che il settore agroalimentare dell'UE fornisce alla più ampia economia dell'UE;
- affrontare la sostenibilità dell'agricoltura, concentrandosi sulle dimensioni economica, ambientale e sociale della PAC.

Attività
Le misure di informazione dovrebbero includere una o più attività quali:

Town twinning is aimed at activities that involve or promote direct exchanges between European citizens through their participation in town twinning activities and encourage networking and cooperation between twinned towns. The measure Town twinning is the first Measure of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the within the"Europe for Citizens 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process.

Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation is directed at activities covering civic participation, focusing in particular on European Union policies.Initiatives developing opportunities for mutual understanding, intercultural learning, solidarity, societal engagement and volunteering at EU level. 
 

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps.
In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.
 

2.1. Town twinning
Town twinning supports projects bringing together citizens from twinned towns to debate on concrete issues from the European political agenda. They will develop opportunities  for societal engagement and volunteering at EU level.

 - a project must involve a minimum of 25 invited participants, coming from the invited municipalities;
 - take place in any of the eligible countries participating to the project.

The maximum accepted duration of the meeting is 21 days.
The maximum grant to be awarded is EUR 25,000 per project.
 

Applicant and partners
- Type of organisation: Towns/municipality or their twinning committees or other non-profit organisations representing local authorities.

Gemellaggio tra città è mirato ad attività che implicano e promuovono scambi diretti tra cittadini europei attraverso la loro partecipazione in attività di gemellaggio, e incoraggia la creazione di reti tra città gemellate. La misura Gemellaggi tra città è la prima misura dell'Asse 2. Impegno democratico e partecipazione civica nel quadro del programma "L'Europa per i cittadini 2014-2020". Quest'Asse mira a promuovere la cittadinanza europea e migliorare le condizioni per la partecipazione democratica e civica dei cittadini a livello dell'Unione, sviluppando la consapevolezza dei cittadini sul processo decisionale dell'Unione.  

Asse 2. Impegno democratico e partecipazione civica è rivolto ad attività che coprono attività legate alla partecipazione civica, focalizzando l'attenzione sulle politiche dell'Unione Europea. Iniziative che promuovono opportunità per la comprensione reciproca, l'apprendimento interculturale, la solidarietà, l'impegno sociale e il volontariato a livello UE.  

Il volontariato è un elemento essenziale di una cittadinanza attiva: dedicando il proprio tempo agli altri, i volontari rendono un servizio alla loro comunità e svolgono un ruolo attivo nella società. In tal modo sviluppano il senso di appartenenza a una comunità, assumendosene anche la responsabilità. Pertanto, il volontariato è uno strumento particolarmente efficace per rafforzare l’impegno dei cittadini a favore della loro società e della sua vita politica. Le organizzazioni della società civile, le associazioni di interesse generale europeo, le associazioni per il gemellaggio tra città e altre organizzazioni partecipanti si affidano spesso al lavoro dei volontari per svolgere e sviluppare le proprie attività. Per tale motivo, un’attenzione particolare è riservata alla promozione del volontariato, in particolare tramite il Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

Il Corpo europeo di solidarietà è un’iniziativa dell’Unione europea che offre ai giovani l’opportunità di operare come volontari o di impegnarsi in progetti, nel proprio paese o all’estero, che aiuteranno le comunità e le persone in tutta l’Europa.

Nella sua fase attuale, il Corpo europeo di solidarietà si avvale degli strumenti dell’Unione esistenti, tra cui il programma “Europa per i cittadini”.  Pertanto i candidati possono utilizzare il programma “Europa per i cittadini” per compiere opera di sensibilizzazione sul Corpo europeo di solidarietà e farvi ricorso. In particolare, i candidati sono invitati a reclutare i suoi membri, accertandosi che le organizzazioni interessate soddisfino i criteri previsti per il loro accoglimento e sottoscrivendo la Carta del Corpo europeo di solidarietà. La Commissione europea ha istituito un portale web dedicato al Corpo europeo di solidarietà. Tutti i paesi ammissibili nell’ambito del programma Europa per i cittadini possono partecipare all’iniziativa del Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

2.1. Gemellaggio tra città. 
Il Gemellaggio tra città sostiene progetti che riuniscono i cittadini di città gemellate per discutere su temi concreti dell'agenda politica europea. Svilupperanno opportunità per l'impegno sociale e il volontariato a livello UE.

2. Fondul Roberto Cimetta și Bienala Varșovia oferă granturi de călătorie în cadrul Bienalei Varșovia din mai și iunie 2019, facilitând și crescând mobilitatea și creativitatea artiștilor între Europa Centrală și de Est și regiunea araba a Orientului Mijlociu.

Bienala Varșovia (BW) este o instituție publică care se concentrează pe un plan de lucru pe termen lung și care operează pe cicluri de lucru de 2 ani și se încheie cu un festival care durează câteva săptămâni.

Scopul său este de a integra cercetarea, activismul și munca artistică.

Ideea principală din spatele conceptului Bienalei Varșovia este de a grupa și structura expertiza în cultură și artă, precum și în politică.

De la acest nivel, sunt create și dezbătute noi idei artistice, politice, sociale, economice și ecologice, construind modele alternative de funcționare în lumea post-criză.

Conceptul curatorial pentru Bienala Varșovia se concentrează pe activitățile instituției în jurul a trei dualități: artă/cultură, cercetare/discurs și activism/politică. Integrarea acestor dualități de expresie duce la consolidarea reciprocă a capacităților și sinergiilor și evită idei, lucrări de artă sau inițiative deja dezvoltate.

Candidatul ar trebui să abordeze direct contextul prezentat de Bienala Varșovia și să se concentreze pe posibilitățile viitoare în materie de bunuri comune transnaționale, politica translocală dincolo de statele națiuni, relațiile dintre Europa Centrală și de Est și regiunea araba din Orientul Mijlociu. Candidații:

-nu se aplică niciun criteriu de naționalitate sau de vârstă; cu toate acestea, candidatul trebuie să aibă reședința sau să lucreze în regiunea geografică euro-arabă și din Orientul Mijlociu (inclusiv Turcia);

- profesia solicitantului trebuie să fie una dintre următoarele: curator, artist, cercetător, operator cultural;

-cererile trebuie formulate de către persoane fizice și nu de organizații. Doar trei membri ai unui grup pot solicita un grant pentru același proiect;

- solicitanții pot primi doar trei granturi RCF și se admite o singură solicitare de persoană la fiecare apel;

- călătoria trebuie să se desfășoare în perioada Bienalei Varșovia, din martie până în iunie 2019;

- călătoria către o altă destinație din regiunea Europei Centrale și de Est și regiunea araba a Orientului Mijlociu este, de asemenea, posibilă dacă obiectivul călătoriei are o legătură tangibilă cu Bienala Varșovia.

Candidaturile pot fi redactate în arabă, engleză sau franceză.

Termen limită: 31 decembrie 2018.

2. Der Roberto Cimetta-Fonds und die Biennale Warschau bieten im Rahmen der Biennale Warschau im Mai und Juni 2019 Reisestipendien an, um die Mobilität und Kreativität von Künstlern zwischen Mittelosteuropa und der Region Arabischer Naher Osten zu erleichtern und zu steigern.

Das kuratorische Konzept für die Biennale Warszawa konzentriert sich auf die Aktivitäten der Institution um drei Dualitäten herum: Kunst / Kultur, Forschung / Diskurs und Aktivismus / Politik. Die Integration dieser Dualitäten des Ausdrucks führt zu einer gegenseitigen Stärkung der Kapazitäten und Synergien und vermeidet bereits ausgearbeitete Ideen, Kunstwerke oder Initiativen.

Der Antragsteller muss sich direkt auf den von der Biennale Warschau dargestellten Kontext beziehen und sich auf zukünftige Möglichkeiten für transnationale Gemeinschaftsgüter, translokale Politik jenseits der Nationalstaaten, die Beziehungen zwischen Mittelosteuropa und dem arabischen Nahen Osten konzentrieren:

The European Investment Bank channels most of its institutional relations with Universities through an EIB Universities Research Action consisting of three different programmes.

1. EIBURS, the EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme, a programme to support EU University Research Centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the EIB.

Main features of EIBURS:
EIB sponsorships are awarded through a competitive process to interested University Departments or Research Centres associated with Universities in the EU, candidate or potential candidate countries, working on research topics of major interest to the Bank.
The sponsorship aims to expand their activities in these areas.
An EIBURS sponsorship will entitle the beneficiary (the EIBURS Centre) to obtain up to 100 000 euros/year, for a period of three years, in exchange for the commitment to develop additional activities to those normally carried out by the centre. These activities will be jointly agreed and will entail the delivery of a variety of outputs (research, education, networking, dissemination of results, etc.) that will be the subject of a contractual agreement with the Bank.

The initiative on academic and research activities is expected to come from the University. The Bank could, however, propose some specific activities, in particular regarding research and continuous education involving EIB staff.
The lines of research to be financed by EIBURS are defined by the CBU (Comité BEI-Universités / EIB-Universities Committee). The number of new EIBURS sponsorships made by the EIB will depend on the available budget.

Universities or research centres in EU, Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries are eligible to apply.

For the 2020-2021 period, the research themes are:
- Impact of gender mainstreaming in infrastructure projects
- Firm competitiveness, growth and digitalisation

Deadline: 30 September 2020, 24:00 (CET).

Read more about EIBURS here.

 

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI, a programme for financing young researchers working on joint EIB-University projects.

The STAREBEI Programme supports the joint interests of University Centres and EIB staff through the sponsorship of junior researchers interested in carrying out research projects proposed by the Bank under the joint supervision of a University tutor and an EIB tutor.

This synergy between the academic world and the Bank’s professionals should provide a rich experience for young researchers and produce outputs contributing to the know-how of both the Bank and Academia. Unlike EIBURS which is based on activities proposed by the University Centres, research initiatives for STAREBEI must originate from within the Bank.
The STAREBEI programme has a different approach to the traditional in-service training at the EIB. It is research-oriented and has stronger academic requirements. The duration of the stage is longer, but normally only short periods will be spent in Luxembourg at the EIB headquarters. The remuneration for the researcher will be competitive and based on the conditions prevailing at the partner University.

Read more about STAREBEI here.

 

3. Partnering with academia

The European Investment Bank Group (the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund) has many partnerships with universities or university networks –which can also include non-university organisations such as research centres, foundations- to exchange knowledge and expertise, and to stimulate discussion on areas of interest.
More specifically, the EIB Institute promotes student’ consultancy projects called capstones and organises academic courses provided by EIB Group staff on the EIB Group’s role, missions and activities.

Die Europäische Investitionsbank wickelt ihre institutionelle Zusammenarbeit mit Universitäten im Wesentlichen im Rahmen ihrer Aktion zur Förderung der Universitätsforschung ab, die drei verschiedene Programme umfasst.

1. EIBURS,  EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme: Das EIB-Förderprogramms für Universitätsforschung, unterstützt universitäre Forschungszentren in der EU, die an Forschungsthemen arbeiten, die für die Bank von besonderem Interesse sind.
 

Hauptmerkmale von EIBURS:
EIB Zuschüsse werden interessierten Fakultäten oder Universitäten angegliederten Forschungsinstituten in der EU und den Beitrittsländern nach erfolgreicher Teilnahme an einem Auswahlverfahren gewährt. Die ausgewählten Einrichtungen müssen über anerkanntes Fachwissen in Bereichen verfügen, die von unmittelbarem Interesse für die Bank sind, und sollen durch die Mittel in die Lage versetzt werden, ihre Aktivitäten in diesen Bereichen auszuweiten.

Einrichtungen, die sich für die Teilnahme am EIBURS-Programm qualifiziert haben (die EIBURS-Zentren), können Zuschüsse von maximal EUR 100.000 jährlich über einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren erhalten. Im Gegenzug dazu müssen sie sich verpflichten, neben den von dem betreffenden Zentrum normalerweise durchgeführten Arbeiten weitere Forschungsaktivitäten zu entwickeln. Diese Aktivitäten werden gemeinsam festgelegt und zielen auf eine Reihe konkreter Ergebnisse bzw. Maßnahmen ab (Forschung, Lehre, Networking, Weitergabe von Resultaten usw.), die Gegenstand einer vertraglichen Vereinbarung mit der Bank sein werden.

Es wird erwartet, dass die Initiative im akademischen und im Forschungsbereich von den Universitäten ausgeht. Die Bank kann jedoch einige spezifische Aktivitäten vorschlagen, was insbesondere die Bereiche Forschung und laufende Weiterbildung unter Einbeziehung von Mitarbeiter/-innen der EIB betrifft.

Die Forschungsschwerpunkte, die im Rahmen des EIBURS-Programms finanziert werden, werden vom CBU (Comité BEI-Universités/EIB-Universitätsausschuss) festgelegt. Die Anzahl neuer finanzieller Beiträge, die von der EIB im Rahmen des EIBURS-Programms gewährt werden, hängt vom verfügbaren Budget ab.

Antragsberechtigt sind Universitäten oder Forschungszentren in der EU, in Kandidaten- und potenziellen Kandidatenländern.

Für den Zeitraum 2020-2021 wurden folgende Forschungsschwerpunkte ausgewählt:

• Auswirkungen des Gender-Mainstreaming bei Infrastrukturprojekten
   
• Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, Wachstum und Digitalisierung von Unternehmen

Deadline: 30. September 2020, 24:00 (CET)

Mehr über EIRBURS hier.

2. STAREBEI (STAges de REcherche BEI): ein Programm zur finanziellen Unterstützung junger Forscher/-innen, die an gemeinsam von der EIB und Universitäten durchgeführten Projekten mitarbeiten.

Das STAREBEI-Programm fördert die gemeinsamen Interessen von Universitätszentren und EIB-Mitarbeiter/-innen, durch die Förderung junger Forscher/-innen, die an der Durchführung von Forschungsprojekten interessiert sind. Die Projekte werden von der EIB vorgeschlagen und gemeinsam von einer/m Tutor/-in der betreffenden Universität und einer/m Tutor/-in der EIB betreut.

Diese Synergien zwischen akademischen Kreisen und den Fachkräften der EIB werden eine wichtige Erfahrung für junge Forscher/-innen darstellen und zu Ergebnissen führen, die sowohl auf das Know-how der Bank als auch auf den Wissensstand der betreffenden Universitäten positive Auswirkungen haben. Im Gegensatz zum EIBURS-Programm, das auf von den Universitätszentren vorgeschlagenen Aktivitäten beruht, müssen die Forschungsinitiativen für STAREBEI von der Bank ausgehen.

Das STAREBEI-Programm verwendet einen Ansatz, der sich von dem für die traditionellen Praktika bei der EIB unterscheidet. STAREBEI ist forschungsorientiert, und die akademischen Anforderungen sind höher. Die Dauer des Programms ist länger, jedoch wird jeweils nur eine kurze Zeitspanne am Sitz der EIB in Luxemburg verbracht. Die Vergütung der Forscher/-innen ist konkurrenzfähig und basiert auf den an der Partneruniversität geltenden Konditionen.

3. Akademischen Partnerschaften

Die EIB-Gruppe hat zahlreiche Partnerschaften mit Universitäten und Universitätsnetzwerken - zu denen auch außeruniversitäre Organisationen wie Forschungszentren und Stiftungen gehören können. Ziel der Partnerschaften ist der Austausch von Wissen und Fachkenntnisse und die Anregungen von Diskussionen über Interessengebiete.

Genauer gesagt fördert das EIB-Institut studentische Beratungsprojekte, so genannte "Capstones", und organisiert akademische Kurse, die von Mitarbeiter/-innen der EIB-Gruppe über die Rolle, die Aufgaben und die Aktivitäten der EIB-Gruppe angeboten werden.

Banca Europeană de Investiții (EIB) gestionează majoritatea relațiilor sale instituționale cu universitățile prin Acțiunea de Cercetare Universitară a EIB constând în trei programe diferite.

1. EIBURS, Programul EIB de sponsorizare a cercetării universitare (University Research Sponsorship Programme), un program care susține Centrele de Cercetare Universitară din UE, care efectuează cercetări în domenii de interes major pentru bancă.

Principalele trăsături ale EIBURS:

Programul EIBURS acordă subvenții printr-un proces competitiv departamentelor din cadrul facultăților sau centrelor de cercetare asociate universităților din UE, țările candidate sau potențial candidate pentru aderarea la UE, care efectuează cercetări în domenii de interes major pentru bancă.

Prin aceste subvenții se urmăește extinderea activităților acestora în acele domenii. 

Sponsorizarea EIBURS va îndreptăți beneficiarul (Centrul EIBURS) să obțină până la 100.000 de euro pe an, pentru o perioadă de trei ani, în schimbul angajamentului dezvoltării activităților adiționale celor efectuate în mod normal de către centru. Aceste activități vor fi convenite de comun acord și vor implica livrarea unei varietăți de rezultate (cercetare, educație, networking, diseminarea rezultatelor, etc.) care vor fi subiectul unei înțelegeri contractuale cu Banca.

Inițiativa activităților academice și de cercetare este așteptată să vină din partea universităților. Totuși, Banca ar putea să propună anumite activități specifice, în special cele privind cercetarea și educația continuă care implică personalul EIB.

Liniile de cercetare care urmează să fie finanțate de EIBURS sunt definite de CBU - Comitee BEI-Universites/EIB-Universities Committee (Comitetul Universităților EIB). Numărul subvențiilor EIBURS oferite de EIB depinde de bugetul disponibil.

Universitățile sau centrele de cercetare din țările UE, țările candidate și potențial candidate pentru aderarea la UE sunt eligibile să candideze.

Pentru perioada 2020 - 2021, temele de cercetare sunt:

- Impactul integrării dimensiunii de gen în proiectele de infrastructură

- Competitivitate, creștere și digitalizare

Termen limită: 30 septembrie 2020, 24:00 (CET).

Mai multe informații despre EIBURS găsești aici.

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI (Stagii de Cercetare EIB), un program pentru finanțarea tinerilor cercetători care lucrează la proiecte comune BEI - Universitate.

Programul STAREBEI suține interesele comune ale centrelor universitare și personalului EIB prin sponsorizarea cercetătorilor juniori interesați să realizeze proiecte de cercetare propuse de Bancă sub supravegherea comună a unui tutor universitar și a unui tutor EIB.

Această sinergie între profesioniști și mediul academic din domeniul bancar trebuie să ofere o experiență bogată tinerilor cercetători și să producă rezultate care să contribuie la know-how-ul Băncii și al mediului academic. Spre deosebire de EIBURS, care se bazează pe activități propuse de centre universitare, inițiativele de cercetare pentru STAREBEI trebuie să provină de la Bancă.

Programul STAREBEI are o abordare diferită de formarea tradițională continuă la EIB. Este orientat spre cercetare și are cerințe academice mai stricte. Durata stagiului este mai lungă, dar, în mod normal, vor fi petrecute perioade scurte la Luxemburg, la sediul EIB. Remunerația cercetătorului va fi competitivă și se va baza pe condițiile în vigoare la universitatea parteneră.

Mai multe informații despre STAREBEI găsești aici.

3. Parteneriat cu mediul academic

Grupul Băncii Europene de Investiții (Banca Europeană de Investiții și Fondul European de Investiții) a încheiat numeroase parteneriate cu universități sau rețele universitare - care pot include, de asemenea, organizații non-universitare, cum ar fi centre de cercetare, fundații - pentru a face schimb de cunoștințe și expertiză și pentru a stimula discuțiile pe domenii de interes.

Mai precis, Institutul BEI promovează proiectele de consultanță pentru studenți, numite “capstones”  și organizează cursuri academice oferite de personalul Grupului BEI în cadrul rolului, misiunilor și activităților Grupului BEI.

The European Investment Bank channels most of its institutional relations with Universities through an EIB Universities Research Action consisting of three different programmes.

1. EIBURS, the EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme, a programme to support EU University Research Centres working on research topics and themes of major interest to the EIB.

Main features of EIBURS

• EIB sponsorships are awarded through a competitive process to interested University Departments or Research Centres associated with Universities in the EU, candidate or potential candidate countries, working on research topics of major interest to the Bank.
• The sponsorship aims to expand their activities in these areas.
• An EIBURS sponsorship will entitle the beneficiary (the EIBURS Centre) to obtain up to 100 000 euros/year, for a period of three years, in exchange for the commitment to develop additional activities to those normally carried out by the centre. These activities will be jointly agreed and will entail the delivery of a variety of outputs (research, education, networking, dissemination of results, etc.) that will be the subject of a contractual agreement with the Bank.

The initiative on academic and research activities is expected to come from the University. The Bank could, however, propose some specific activities, in particular regarding research and continuous education involving EIB staff.
The lines of research to be financed by EIBURS are defined by the CBU (Comité BEI-Universités / EIB-Universities Committee). The number of new EIBURS sponsorships made by the EIB will depend on the available budget.

Eligibility

Universities or research centres in EU, Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries are eligible to apply.

For the 2020-2021 period, the research themes are:
- Impact of gender mainstreaming in infrastructure projects
- Firm competitiveness, growth and digitalisation

More information

Read more about EIBURS on the EIB website.
 

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI, a programme for financing young researchers working on joint EIB-University projects.

About STAREBEI

The STAREBEI Programme supports the joint interests of University Centres and EIB staff through the sponsorship of junior researchers interested in carrying out research projects proposed by the Bank under the joint supervision of a University tutor and an EIB tutor.

This synergy between the academic world and the Bank’s professionals should provide a rich experience for young researchers and produce outputs contributing to the know-how of both the Bank and Academia. Unlike EIBURS which is based on activities proposed by the University Centres, research initiatives for STAREBEI must originate from within the Bank.

The STAREBEI programme has a different approach to the traditional in-service training at the EIB. It is research-oriented and has stronger academic requirements. The duration of the stage is longer, but normally only short periods will be spent in Luxembourg at the EIB headquarters. The remuneration for the researcher will be competitive and based on the conditions prevailing at the partner University.

More information

Read more about STAREBEI on the EIB website.

3. Partnering with academia

The European Investment Bank Group (the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund) has many partnerships with universities or university networks –which can also include non-university organisations such as research centres, foundations- to exchange knowledge and expertise, and to stimulate discussion on areas of interest.
More specifically, the EIB Institute promotes student’ consultancy projects called capstones and organises academic courses provided by EIB Group staff on the EIB Group’s role, missions and activities.

Az Európai Befektetési Bank (European Investment Bank - EIB) az Universities Research Action keretében három különböző programba csatornázza be intézményi kapcsolatait az egyetemekkel.

1. EIBURS, az EIB Egyetemi Kutatástámogatási Program (EIB University Research Sponsorship Programme), és egy, az EU Egyetemi Kutatóközpontok (EU University Research Centres) támogatására létrejött program dolgoznak kutatási témákon, és olyan területeken, amelyek az Európai Befektetési Bank érdekeltségébe tartoznak.

Az EIBURS legfőbb jellemzői:

Az EIB támogatásai egy versenyeztető folyamaton keresztül kerülnek kiosztásra az érdekelt egyetemi intézetek és kutatóközpontok között, amelyek az Európai Unión belül működnek (vagy EU-jelölt tagállamban), és az EIB által érdekelt területeken kutatnak.
A támogatás várhatóan bővülni fog a tevékenységkörök tekintetében ezeken a területeken.
Az EIBURS támogatás mindösszesen 100 000 euró/év támogatást jelent hároméves időszakra azért cserében, hogy a nyertesek további tevékenységeket fejlesztenek azok mellé, amelyekkel már a központ rendelkezik. Ezek a tevékenységek és az elvárt eredményeik (kutatás, oktatás, networking, disszemináció, stb.) közös egyetértésben születnek majd meg a Bankkal.


Az akadémiai és kutatási tevékenységre vonatkozó kezdeményezés az egyetem felől kell, hogy érkezzen. Ugyanakkor a Bank speciális tevékenységeket kezdeményezhet, különösen a kutatás és az EIB dolgozók képzése kapcsán.

Az EIBURS finanszírozásokat a CBU (Comité BEI-Universités / EIB-Universities Committee) határozza meg. Az új EIBURS támogatások száma az EIB költségvetésétől függ.

Jelentkezők az EU-n belül működő egyetemek vagy kutatóközpontok, EU-jelölt vagy lehetségesen EU-jelölt országok intézményei lehetnek.

A 2020-2021-es időszak kutatási témái: 
- Impact of gender mainstreaming in infrastructure projects
- Firm competitiveness, growth and digitalisation

Határidő: 2020. September 30, 24:00 (CET).

További részletek itt.

 

2. STAREBEI, STAges de REcherche BEI, egy program, amely a fiatal kutatókat támogatja az EIB és egyetemek közös projektjein belül.

A STAREBEI Program támogatja azokat a fiatal kutatókat, akik érdeklődnek az EIB által kijelölt projektek megvalósítása iránt egy egyetemi és egy EIB tutor mentorlása alatt.

Ez a fajta szinergia az akadémiai világ és a bank szektor szakemberei között gazdag tapasztalatot nyújthat a fiatal kutatóknak, és mind a két terület számára értékes eredményeket nyújthat. Az EIBURS-szal ellentétben, ahol a tevékenységeket az egyetemi központoknak kell kezdeményezni, a STAREBEI-ben a kezdeményezések a Banktól kell, hogy érkezzenek.

A STAREBEI programnak különféle megközelítései vannak a hagyományos továbbképzésre vonatkozólag az EIB-nél. Ez alapvetően kutatásvezérelt és erős akadémiai elvárásai vannak. Hosszabb időtartamú, ugyanakkor csupán egy rövid időszaka zajlik Luxemburgban, az EIB vezetőségnél. A kutató díjazása versenyképes lesz, és függ a pertneregyetem által támasztott feltétektől.

További részletek itt.
 

3. Partneri kapcsolat az akadémiai világgal

Az Európai Befektetési Bankcsoport (az Európai Befektetési Bank és az Európai Befektetési Alap) számos partneri kapcsolatokkal rendelkezik egyetemekkel és egyetemi hálózatokkal - amely tartalmazhat egyetemen kívül szervezeteket úgy, mint kutatási központokat, alapítványokat - a tudás-és szakvélemény megosztására, és akikkel párbeszédet folytat a közös érdekeltségű területeken.
Egészen pontosan az EIB Intézet támogatja a hallgatók tanácsadási projektjeit, amelyeket capstones-nak neveznek. Továbbá szervez akadémiai szintű kurzusokat, amiket az EIB Csoport munkatársai tartanak az EIB Csoport szerepéről, missziójáról és tevékenységeiről.

Civil Society Projects explore innovative methods of citizens’ participation. The Civil Society Projects aims to support a variety of projects of a transnational and cross-sectoral dimension, directly involving citizens. Those projects should gather citizens from different horizons, who will act together or debate on common European issues, at local and European level.

This third measure is part of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the “Europe for Citizens” 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process. 
The Civil Society Projects measure is directed at activities involving citizens and at bringing together people from local communities across Europe to share and exchange experiences, opinions and values, to learn from history and to build for the future. It encourages meetings, exchanges and debates among European citizens from different countries and through different means.
 

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps.
In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

2.3 - Civil Society Projects
The specific objectives are to support projects gathering citizens in activities directly linked to EU policies, providing an opportunity for direct participation in the policy making process.
A Civil Society Project must include at least two of the following three types of activities:
- promotion of societal engagement and solidarity: activities able to promoting debate/campaigns/actions on the themes of common interest in the larger framework of the rights and responsibilities of the Union citizens and making the link to the European political agenda and policy making process;
- gathering of opinions: activities aiming at gathering the individual opinions of the citizens on a specific topic to be yearly defined, favouring a bottom up approach (including the use of social networks, webinars, etc.) and media literacy;
- volunteering: activities promoting solidarity among Union citizens and beyond.

 

Applicant and partners
- Type of organisation: non-profit organisations, including civil society organisations, educational, cultural or research institutions, other organisations involved in the project can also be public local/regional authorities.
- Number of Partners: A project must involve organisations from at least 3 eligible countries of which at least two are an EU Member State.

Maximum eligible grant for a project: 150 000 EUR.
The activities must take place in any of the eligible countries.
The project must start within the relevant eligibility period.
Maximum project duration is 18 months.

 

Particpating countries
- 28 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
- Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo.
For British applicants: please be aware that eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of the grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during the grant period without concluding an agreement with the EU ensuring in particular that British applicants continue to be eligible, British applicants will cease to receive EU funding (while continuing, where possible, to participate) or be required to leave the project.
The Programme is potentially open to the following categories of countries provided that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commission:
a) acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates, in accordance with the general principles and general terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective Framework Agreements, Association Council Decisions or similar Agreements;
b) the EFTA countries party to the EEA Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of that Agreement.

This action supports higher education institutions to create international study programmes for students at master level and award scholarships. Higher education institutions from at least three different Programme Countries* are invited to work together in consortia, to create and submit their proposal for Joint Master Degrees under the Erasmus+ programme.

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) is a prestigious, integrated, international study programme, jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) and, where relevant, other partners with specific expertise and interest in the study programme.

EMJMDs aim to:

• Foster excellence, innovation, and internationalisation in HEIs
• Boost the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and support the EU's external action in the field of higher education
• Improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates and their employability

Partnership between Erasmus Mundus and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IUEP) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
In 2019 for the first time, Erasmus Mundus opens up to a new partnership model in the form of a joint call EU-Japan. The purpose of the joint call will be to select excellent consortia of European and Japanese universities to develop highly integrated joint master programmes and offer scholarships to students. Mobility of students and scholars between the EU and Japanese universities involved in projects will be a key feature of the action.

The partnership will co-fund 3-4 projects which will foster innovation and excellence in provision of Joint Masters in consortia consisting of at least 3 higher education institutions from Erasmus+ Programme Countries and at least 1 higher education institution from Japan. 
In addition, the Japanese Higher education institution must be a master-degree awarding institution and award the joint or multiple diploma degree(s) together with at least one master-degree awarding higher education institution from a Programme Country.

Read more here.
 

Eligible participating organisations
A participating organisation can be any public or private organisation established in a Programme Country or in a Partner Country that contributes directly and actively to the delivery of the EMJMD.

Un’organizzazione partecipante può essere qualsiasi organizzazione pubblica o privata, con le sue entità affiliate (se presenti), con sede in un Paese aderente al Programma o in un Paese partner, che contribuisce direttamente e attivamente all’erogazione del programma EMJMD. Ad esempio: istituti di istruzione superiore (IIS); un’impresa pubblica o privata, di piccole, medie o grandi dimensioni (incluse le imprese sociali); un ente pubblico a livello locale, regionale o nazionale; un’organizzazione senza scopo di lucro, un’associazione o una ONG; un istituto di ricerca.

Informazioni sulle sovvenzioni
A seconda della durata del programma EMJMD (1 o 2 anni accademici) e del fatto che il consorzio scelga o meno di attivare un anno preparatorio, il consorzio riceverà una convenzione di sovvenzione per un minimo di 4 fino a un massimo di 6 anni per finanziare 4 cicli consecutivi di ammissione di studenti. In casi eccezionali, la durata di un EMJMD può essere estesa, su richiesta del richiedente/coordinatore e con l’accordo dell’Agenzia esecutiva, per un massimo di 12 mesi. In tal caso, la sovvenzione totale non cambierà.

Borse di studio per studenti di Master Congiunti Erasmus Mundus
La sovvenzione EMJMD finanzierà fino a massimo di 60 borse di studio per i quattro cicli di ammissione. I consorzi EMJMD possono inoltre presentare domanda per un massimo di 28 borse di studio aggiuntive per quattro cicli di ammissione per regioni/Paesi destinatari del mondo. Per quanto concerne i consorzi co-finanziati dall’UE e dal MEXT, l’UE finanzierà fino a un massimo di 32 borse di studio e altrettante saranno finanziate dal MEXT. Tali consorzi non possono fare domanda di borse di studio aggiuntive per regioni/Paesi destinatari del mondo.

This action supports higher education institutions to create international study programmes for students at master level and award scholarships. Higher education institutions from at least three different Programme Countries* are invited to work together in consortia, to create and submit their proposal for Joint Master Degrees under the Erasmus+ programme.

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) is a prestigious, integrated, international study programme, jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) and, where relevant, other partners with specific expertise and interest in the study programme.

EMJMDs aim to:

• Foster excellence, innovation, and internationalisation in HEIs
• Boost the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and support the EU's external action in the field of higher education
• Improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates and their employability

Partnership between Erasmus Mundus and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IUEP) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
In 2019 for the first time, Erasmus Mundus opens up to a new partnership model in the form of a joint call EU-Japan. The purpose of the joint call will be to select excellent consortia of European and Japanese universities to develop highly integrated joint master programmes and offer scholarships to students. Mobility of students and scholars between the EU and Japanese universities involved in projects will be a key feature of the action.

The partnership will co-fund 3-4 projects which will foster innovation and excellence in provision of Joint Masters in consortia consisting of at least 3 higher education institutions from Erasmus+ Programme Countries and at least 1 higher education institution from Japan. 
In addition, the Japanese Higher education institution must be a master-degree awarding institution and award the joint or multiple diploma degree(s) together with at least one master-degree awarding higher education institution from a Programme Country.

For more information please visit the scholarships page.  

Funding 
The maximum grant amount awarded for selected projects will depend on a number of elements:

• the EMJMD length (60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits);
• the EMJMD participation costs defined by the consortia;
• the implementation of the optional preparatory year;
• the number of Programme/Partner country scholarships.

EMJMDs receive funding for four intakes of students (starting from the selection 2018) to allow them to increase their worldwide visibility.

For consortia co-funded by the EU and MEXT, one of the two minimum student mobility periods must take place in Japan and the other in a Programme Country represented in the consortium.

Duration of project
Depending on the duration of the EMJMD (1 to 2 academic years) and whether the consortium chooses to undertake a preparatory year, the consortium will receive a grant agreement for a minimum duration of 4 and a maximum of 6 academic years to finance 4 consecutive student intakes. In exceptional cases, the duration of an EMJMD may be extended of up to 12 months, upon request by the applicant/coordinator and with the agreement of the Executive Agency.

Higher education students at master's level who want to complete a full study programme in another Programme Country can apply for an EU-guaranteed loan to contribute to their costs.
Loans are offered by participating banks and student loan agencies on favourable conditions to mobile students and include better than market interest rates and up to two years to allow graduates to get into a job before beginning repayment.
 
The loan scheme is established in cooperation with the European Investment Bank Group and will be gradually put in place over the first few years of the Eramus+programme in the Programme Countries.

Who can apply for a loan
To be eligible to apply students must:
- be a resident of one of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries;
- have successfully completed first cycle higher education studies (Bachelor or equivalent);
- have been accepted for a 2nd cycle programme (Master or equivalent) at a recognised higher education institution (HEI) which holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).

The Master (or equivalent) that they intend to study must: 
- be delivered in a different country from their country of residence and from where they obtained their Bachelor degree (or the equivalent degree giving them access to the Master programme)
- be a full programme that will lead to a (Master or equivalent) degree. 

 Amount of loan
The loans are up to 12,000 EUR for a 1-year Master programme and up to 18,000 EUR for an up to 2-year Master and can cover living, tuition and other study costs in any of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries.
Key social safeguards include no collateral by student or parents, favourable interest rate, favourable pay-back terms.

Where to apply
Directly to participating banks, higher education institutions or student loan companies.

More information on the Scheme and the participating financial institutions is available here.

Studenti universitari a livello di master che desiderano completare il loro programma di studi in un altro Paese del Programma, possono presentare domanda per un prestito garantito UE come contributo alle loro spese.

I prestiti vengono offerti dalle banche e le agenzie di prestito a condizioni favorevoli per gli studenti, e comprendono tassi di interesse migliori di quelli del mercato e fino ai due anni, affinché i laureati possano trovare un impiego prima di iniziare il rimborso.

Per essere ammessi alla richiesta di finanziamento gli studenti devono:

• essere residenti in uno dei paesi aderenti al Programma Erasmus+
• aver completato il primo ciclo di studi (laurea triennale o equivalente)
• essere stati accettati per un programma di secondo ciclo (laurea magistrale, master o equivalente) presso un istituto d'istruzione superiore (IIS) riconosciuto titolare della carta Erasmus per l'istruzione superiore (CEIS).
• Il corso di laurea magistrale (o master, o equivalente) che intendono seguire deve: 
• svolgersi in un paese diverso dal proprio paese di residenza e dal paese in cui hanno ottenuto il diploma di laurea triennale (o il diploma equivalente che consente l'accesso al programma di laurea magistrale)
• essere un programma completo che consente il conseguimento di un titolo (master, laurea magistrale o equivalente).

I prestiti possono essere erogati soltanto per studi condotti presso università titolari della carta Erasmus per l'istruzione superiore.

I prestiti hanno un importo massimo di 12 000 EUR per programmi di master di 1 anno e di 18 000 EUR per programmi di 2 anni e possono coprire costi di sostentamento, spese di iscrizione e altri costi legati allo studio in ciascuno dei 33 paesi aderenti al Programma Erasmus+.

Attualmente il regime è messo a disposizione degli studenti residenti nei seguenti paesi partecipanti al programma e che intendono studiare all'estero in un altro paese partecipante al programma:

• Spagna
• Italia (Emilia Romagna)
• Croazia
• Romania
• Turchia

Gli studenti di altri paesi partecipanti al programma possono candidarsi per seguire un corso di laurea magistrale in Spagna. Le università di Lussemburgo e Cipro offrono formule analoghe agli studenti provenienti da tutti gli altri paesi partecipanti al programma che intendano frequentare un corso di studi magistrale presso una delle due università.

Invece di un prestito finanziario, le università offrono servizi in natura (tasse universitarie, spese di alloggio, ecc.) che possono essere rimborsati dopo la laurea. Viceversa, ai prestiti diretti si applica la garanzia dell'UE, per cui non è richiesta alcuna garanzia collaterale.

L'elenco degli intermediari partecipanti è destinato a crescere con l'adesione di altri istituti finanziari e università al programma. Si tratterà molto probabilmente di un processo graduale: per aggiornamenti sulla disponibilità del programma, consulta regolarmente questa pagina.

Gli studenti possono presentare domanda direttamente presso le banche partecipanti, gli istituti di istruzione superiore o le società che erogano prestiti agli studenti.

Per ulteriori informazioni prendere in visione la guida del programma Erasmus+ o contattare l'agenzia nazionale del proprio paese.
