| Project Summary: |
Project COMON (COastal MONitoring) aims to apply innovative solutions for continuous coastal ecosystem monitoring as a foundation for their integral management. The Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, due to its coastal lengthiness and a great number of islands, faces significant anthropogenic pressures, which are the result of economic growth and the increasingly more pronounced influence of climate change. COMON offers a united monitoring concept of Adriatic coastal waters processes on different scales, thus developing the methodology of spatial update with geostatistics methods and numerical modelling methods. Final results in the form of mapping for water quality parameters might be used in different future loading models and/or climate change effects on the coastal domain. Such an output presents a vital tool for sustainable spatial planning and developing tourism strategies on local and regional levels. The Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy (FGAG) is the project leader, and the project partner is Green infrastructure d.o.o. from Zagreb.
The total value of the project is HRK 6.889.375,34. Amount co-financed by the European Union with grants from the European Structural and Investment Funds in the financial period 2014-2020 amounts to HRK 5.537.725,34.

| Project Summary: |
The goal of the project is the development of new products, i.e. glued laminated hardwood supports, in order for the company to use the knowledge of the Organization for Research and Dissemination of Knowledge and with the application of high KET technologies to prepare for the market, which in the future, due to public pressure, will increasingly demand LLN manufactured from hardwood wood. Today, there are technical permits for the production of LLN from conifers, which are found in the environment or in the forests. The project continues with professional studies and articles in professional magazines that have been saying for some time that for the sake of biodiversity and better availability of raw materials, the technology of producing LLN from hardwood should be developed. Although it is certainly possible to find ready-made hardwood products today, they are made without technical permits, which means that they have not been tested, that the application of glue and the structure of the glue itself have not been properly developed, which means that such products are unsafe for life. |

| Project Summary: |
Due to climate changes in the light of rising temperatures, warming of surface waters, a significant drop in surface and underground water levels, and a decrease in water availability, drastic changes are predicted in the future that will affect the entire region. The impact of climate change on the water resources of this area is also reflected in other sectors that depend on water or affect its condition, especially agriculture, energy and tourism. The mutual intertwining and dynamic connections between energy, water and food when managing these resources is united by the "EWF nexus" method (Eng. energy-water-food nexus), which enables observation of the effects that a decision in a particular sector produces in other sectors and a coordinated approach that it takes into account feedback, compromises and synergies between sectors, which is why it is an important tool in adapting to climate change. By using the "EWF connection" method during the implementation of research in the covered area, a balance will be established in the management of vulnerable sectors, and a multidisciplinary, integral approach will enable complete and effective adaptation measures to climate change. In order to create adaptation measures, the applicant and project partners will conduct applied research, the backbone of which is the continuous monitoring of water quality and quantity, climatic parameters, and modeling of the wider hydrogeological system of the Imotski field. Based on the collected data and models, the impact of climate change on water resources will be analyzed, the level of adverse effects of climate change on the agricultural sector and its vulnerability in terms of determining the most affected agricultural crops will be assessed, the utilization of hydropower potentials, as well as the possibilities of applying renewable sources will be examined. of energy in Imotski polje and its use for the purpose of a hybrid reversible plant. The collected data will also be used to analyze the impact of climate change on tourism, which is a promising sector of the area's economy. In order to carry out the analyses, all collected data will be consolidated in a previously established database that will be available to the academic community and other stakeholders at different security levels. In addition, actual data on the state of the lake from the established database will be displayed on 3 information panels set up in the city of Imotski and next to the Blue and Red Lakes and thus be available to the general public. |

| Project Summary: |
The CAAT (Coastal Autopurification Assessment Technology) project aims to apply fundamental research in oceanographic and atmospheric modeling that will be related to the flow and transport of surface and groundwater runoff to the Adriatic coastal waters to quantify the actual load on these water bodies and their potential auto-purification capabilities. The models and methodologies mentioned above are based on the previous research activities of all project partners.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy (FGAG) is the project leader, and the partners are the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), the Faculty of Science (PMF) and the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IZOR).
The CAAT project directly contributes to the overall goal of the science and innovation investment program, which is to increase market oriented RDI (research, development, and innovation) activities. This funding program addresses market failures due to insufficient investment in RDI activities in the Republic of Croatia. It does so by supporting collaborative projects of scientific organizations and disseminating results to the business sector.
The total value of the project is HRK 7.156.744,99. Amount co-financed by the European Union with grants from the European Structural and Investment Funds in the financial period 2014-2020 amounts to HRK 6.034.318,11.

European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is one of the main financial instruments of the EUʼs cohesion policy. It was created in 1975 with the purpose of contributing to reducing disparities between the levels of development of European regions and to improving living standards in the least-favoured regions. Particular attention is paid to regions that suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic disadvantages, such as the northernmost regions, which have very low population densities, and island, cross-border and mountainous regions.
Cohesion Fund (CF)
The Cohesion Fund was set up in 1994 and provides funding for environmental and trans-European network projects in the Member States whose gross national income per capita is less than 90% of the EU average.
Operational Programme Regional Competitiveness (OPRC)
The programme "Regional competitiveness" aims at supporting the unleashing of the economic potential by increasing the regional potential for economic development, developing entrepreneurship and the support to SMEs, and fostering the innovation and transfer of technology in the country.
