CEPPS' basic task is to organise and transfer know-how and money for ecology projects involving environmental protection, energetics and the security of plants.
Research will be conducted by Croatian experts as well as German scientists.
The German side will secure significant non-repayable funds so several important projects are expected to be realised already this year.
CEPPS was set by the Zagreb Faculty of Science and the Dresden-based Sauberes Wasser Europa foundation, sharing equal ownership.
