Environmental aspects
Universities are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (amended by Directive 2014/52/EU), though the Project is covered by Annex II of the directive in relation to urban development. The EIB's services will verify the screening decision of the competent authority during appraisal and whether an EIA is required. It is expected that the Project will have positive social benefits as education is an element of social cohesion. The public buildings will be required to meet at least the minimum national targets concerning energy efficiency. The design energy performance of the buildings and any specific related targets to be met will be verified during appraisal.
