According to the National Study on the Participation of the Republic of Croatia in the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation published by the Ministry of Science and Education, which analyzes activities of Croatian and European applicants regarding the implementation of the Horizon 2020 Programme from 2014 to the end of 2021, it is evident that the Faculty of Civil Engineering is among the top scientific research institutions in the Republic of Croatia. During the previous financial period of the Horizon Programme, between 2014 and 2021, the Faculty of Civil Engineering recorded a total of 66 project proposals submitted to calls under the Horizon 2020 programme, out of which 9 proposals were successful, resulting in a success rate of 13.6%. In terms of the number of proposals, the Faculty ranks 9th among all applicants (research organizations) in the Republic of Croatia.

Project funding in the past period has enabled greater synergy between the academic community and industry, resulting in the development of innovative products and services, and enhancing research capacities at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The implemented projects have contributed to the creation of new business opportunities, strengthened competitiveness and supported the development of new technologies in the construction sector.

The implementation of the Borongaj Centre project was financed by European Structural and Investment Funds, aimed at gathering the necessary project documentation for the establishment of a Research Centre within the Borongaj Campus. The project, in its subsequent phases, involves investment in research, development, and innovation infrastructure, as well as the implementation of organizational reform at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The goal is to expedite the process of transforming the Faculty into an internationally competitive scientific institution that generates new scientific, social and economic value.

Faculty researchers are intensifying efforts in preparing and implementing national and international competitive scientific projects. Simultaneously, the Faculty is continuously striving to improve conditions and enhance opportunities for conducting cutting-edge research, with the aim of ensuring long-term growth and development of the Faculty, as well as increasing its international recognition and relevance.
