Some HRK 974 million was invested in the tertiary education's R&D segment, which was a third of the total amount spent on R&D in Croatia last year, according to the DZS report.
The investments in R&D in the state sector and the non-profit making private sector totalled HRK 639 million kuna (21.9%).
Of 2.9 billion kuna, 63.4% went for expenses for staff and labour costs in R&D.
In 2016, 17,164 people were employed last year in the R&D sector, and more than half of them (50.9% or 8,734) were female employees.
Of those 17,164 employees in that sector, 69.2% were researchers, with the share of women standing at 47.8%.
