The Department of European Economic Studies of the College of Europe is organising today in Bruges a workshop to present the Investment Plan for Europe and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI).

Guest speakers from the EIB Group and the European Commission will discuss the results to date, showcase EFSI support to SMEs, innovation and infrastructure and outline the prospects for EFSI 2.0.

EFSI is a joint initiative of the EIB Group (EIB and EIF) and the European Commission to help overcome the current investment gap in the EU, by mobilising private financing for strategic investments.

This event is closed to the public, but open to all students.

The EIB Group and the College of Europe signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2015 in order to reinforce and extend collaboration between the two institutions.
