The ratio of domestic and international projects is significantly in favor of projects funded from domestic sources, led by projects of the Croatian Science Foundation (120 projects), followed by projects of the European Regional Development Fund (62 projects) and the European Social Fund (9 projects). International projects are dominated by Horizon 2020 (22 projects), followed by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology - COST (14 projects), bilateral projects (8 projects), Erasmus + (7 projects), INTERREG (4 projects) and others 9 projects).

FER is continuously working on increasing research, innovation and development capacities and on the quality of its own research and innovation work. It also encourages research aimed at pushing scientific boundaries, in line with the needs of the economy and in cooperation with Croatian and European institutions.
