10/11/2015European Investment Bank Group6 Implications of the Hub for JASPERS & its clients….. 1.MAs/Commission No change to core mission or commitment to quality Same people, same service JASPERS will continue to advise and support ESIF major projects ….but we also aim to leverage this available expertise to the benefit of the Hub…. 2.Added Value from the Hub ….EC and EIB have therefore agreed on JASPERS contribution based on additional resources for additional tasks….. Expanding the envelope of service, because most projects don’t fit neatly into one single box Potential support earlier/later in project cycle beyond normal JASPERS scope Smaller and/or heterogeneous schemes, not necessarily supported by ESIF More flexibility, access to wider expertise and other instruments
