CROSCI - Science Portal
Welcome to Croatian Science Portal. The main mission of our organisation is to promote and advance scientific work and inspire young generations towards a wide range of careers available in academic and research work.
Featured Science Video: Beautiful Science
Science is not the hottest topic among the young generations today. Passive media such as TV, radio and music still dominate the midnset.
This video demonstrates how a cleverly orchestrated campaign can steer the interest of the young generations in the right directions in the same interactive way a new video game would or an interactive feature on the net such as social media or YouTube.
Essentially, Beautiful Science is a three part British Council project in ten countries bringing together scientists from Austria, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and the UK.
The three parts are: Visualise, Debates & FameLab.
Quotes:
- "It's a great way of celebrating British science"
- "...and the feedback we've had was fantastic"

Robots are part of our future!
There is no doubt about it; human evolution and performance are limited. Our intelligence and physical abilities are restricted and we cannot survive without vital nutrients, air and other elements, necessary for our frail human nature. Therefore it is vitally important we improve and protect our abilities, and what better way to do so, then with mechanically engineered devices.
Croatia: Aiming High
Was it a scheduling error that put Croatia on a panel yesterday afternoon with scientific powerhouses USA and Britain for a session on what governments can do to spur innovation and compete globally?
