Croatian scientists look to EU boost

摘要

After 10 years of negotiation and debate, Croatia this month becomes the 28th member of the EU. Only the second former-Yugoslav state to join the bloc after Slovenia, many hope that Croatia's entry to the EU - and the estimated ?11.5bn of funding available to the country between now and 2020 - will help to boost Croatian science and let its researchers collaborate better with the rest of their EU colleagues.
