The project involves the improvement and reconstruction of the existing facilities of the RBI for research and development, the construction of new facilities for research in key priority areas, and the procurement and installation of the scientific equipment necessary for the implementation of research and development activities.
Most of the infrastructure works will mostly be carried out in the RBI architectural complex in Zagreb, which covers an area of approximately 32 500 m2 on a 13 ha plot of land in the historical centre of Zagreb (Horvatovac).
Because of its importance for research in marine environment and biology, a research station in Šibenik (Martinska Station) is also included in the project.
