RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMM
An important part of activities of ZRS Koper is represented by eight infrastructural organization units. They differ from one another primarily in their content, as well as in the methods used and the scope of activities they perform. Some of them are closely related to the parent research groups / institutes from which they were developed, while others perform their support activities for all the ZRS Koper research groups and beyond. Most of their activities are mainly to support research work, which regularly includes elements of instrumental support with equipment of higher value.
Infrastructural support is partly financed through the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS)
