A fundamental pillar of our work is research projects, which bring together efforts from a variety of sources, both national and international. Collaboration with partners and funders from various countries, including the European Union, is an essential part of our activities, contributing to the exchange of ideas and the development of new approaches in biological research.
Our project portfolio is diverse and includes a wide range of project types, covering multiple areas of interest. International projects are an important part of our work, where we work closely with partners in different countries to address complex issues and develop our expertise in this field. An important example of a project we are implementing is DANUBIUS, a flagship project of major importance in the context of climate change.
At the national level, we are active in implementing projects of various types, including national, core, operational and National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) projects, which are drivers of innovation and enable us to contribute to the sustainable development of society and to solving current problems.
