The purpose of the Programme is to transfer knowledge and attract investment into the Croatian science system and indirectly to the system of the economy and through cooperation between the domestic and scientists from the diaspora. The Programme’s final objective is to foster the recruitment of scientists at an early stage of their career development and to promote networking with scientists in the diaspora. They also develop and strengthen competences for participation in competition between European and international organisations. Funding will be provided for the conduct of scientific research, the total cost of young scientists, mobility and indirect costs.
