IPTPO

The Institute of Agriculture and Tourism is a public scientific institute of the Republic of Croatia operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth. In 2025, it celebrates its 150th anniversary, confirming a century and a half of continuous contribution to the development of biotechnical and social sciences, technological progress, and societal well-being.

Although one of 25 public scientific institutes in the Republic of Croatia, and one of only five in the field of biotechnical sciences, the Institute is a unique research institution thanks to its geographical location, its specific combination of research in agriculture and tourism, and its blend of infrastructural and human resources. The uniqueness of the Institute is also apparent in the wide scope of research topics, approaches, and its strong links with both the business sector and public administration.

 The IPTPO will play a supportive role in project activities to ensure that the project is implemented effectively and builds on previous actions in thIOS multilateral project.
