The donor community, and in particular the European Union, is supporting Croatia in its efforts to improve the innovation climate, and to encourage the commercialisation of research results. EU assistance is channelled through a number of IPA-funded projects. In the field of innovation and technology transfer, one of the most important tools within IPA is the “Science and Innovation Investment Fund” (SIIF).
Underlying Action 'CREATION OF RESEARCH RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE AND APPLIED GENOMICS' (contract amount: EUR 491.485,24) is implemented through a SIIF grant at Ruđer Bošković Institute.
The Action provides an opportunity to enhance capacities and capabilities at Ruđer Bošković Institute and beyond, and to step up to the next level of modern research and innovation. The combination between Know-How, expertise and cutting-edge technology will support new partnerships between research entities, clinics, academia, and industry for future European collaborative research.
