“Projects that are financed through the Eureka initiative, refer to applied, industrial, and not to basic research,” Ruzic explained, adding that their results must be directed as a process, service or product towards the market.
According to him, part of the funds is provided by the state, and the rest is invested by the business sector.
Explaining who can use the budget funds, he said, as stated by Tanjug, that it can only be an organization that implements the project, it is entered in the Register of scientific research activities or the Register of innovation activities of the Ministry of Education.
