Research projects - opportunities for new jobs, modern equipment, and scientific achievements

Scientists at the Faculty of Food Technology Osijek not only participate in higher education, but also conduct their scientific research through various national and international scientific projects. Laboratories at the Faculty are well-equipped with various modern analytical and pilot-scale equipment used for the implementation of the teaching process as well as for scientific research. The realization of a number of international projects is funded from various EU Programmes, the Croatian Science Foundation, etc. Since 2015, the Faculty of Food Technology Osijek has been a partner institution in the Centre of Research Excellence for Marine Bioprospecting – BioProCro, with the Ruđer Bošković Institute as the host institution. The quality and quantity of scientific research can be seen in numerous scientific papers that have been published in internationally acknowledged journals indexed in various databases and presented at international conferences. The number of scientific papers with foreign scientists as co-authors has been constantly increasing. The Faculty has continuously been working on the connection and cooperation among research groups within the Faculty, but also on conducting interdisciplinary research among different institutions. A few selected projects will be presented in this presentation. Those types of projects provide plenty of advantages for applicants and graduates, who can be hired on the project. It is also important to note that research projects are providing funds for new modern research equipment as well. But the most important thing is that research projects offer young researchers an opportunity to start their scientific carrier, deal with scientific topics and methodologies, share and develop ideas, learn from each other, and gain knowledge from senior researchers and mentors. Moreover, work on a project very often includes enrolment in postgraduate studies, which is an opportunity to gain a PhD. Scientific research, as well as mobility, at the Faculty of Food Technology Osijek contribute to the achievement of national and international research excellence in various fields and to the transfer and application of gained knowledge for the prosperity of society.
