REG/ NEW RESEARCH STUDY INTO THE WESTERN BALKANS’ DEVELOPMENT NEEDS

 
     The presentation, delivered by Dr Anastasia Ri (University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, Greece) and
     Mr Massimo Cingolani (EIB), argued that approximately €9 billion/year would be required for key
     developments in the energy, environment, social and transport sectors in order for the region to
     achieve living standards that are comparable to those from the European Union.

     The STAREBEI (STAges de REcherche BEI-EIB research internships) programme provides grants to
     universities in order to finance junior researchers carrying out research projects proposed by the EIB
     Group (European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) under the joint supervision of a
     university tutor and an EIB co-tutor. The programme is open to any university located in EU,
     Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries providing doctorate degrees in line with the Bologna
     Process. To date, more than 30 young researchers from 26 universities in 11 European countries
                                                                               have benefited from the STAREBEI programme...(link)
