Slide 4: Investment in higher Education system in Croatia The increase of the investment in higher education totalled € 107 million or 48.7% in the period between 2003 and 2007. In the same period about € 109 million has been earmarked for capital investments, and the construction of university campuses is underway in Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, Osijek and Dubrovnik. Total investments for the mentioned projects amount to approximately € 404.1 million. The vision presented in the Education Sector Development Plan 2005 − 2010 and Science & Technology Policy of the Republic of Croatia 2006 − 2010 was supported by the World Bank and for that purpose it approved loans in the amount of € 67.8 million (education) and € 31 million (science and technology). Since the projected capital investments into the science and education system until 2010 amount to € 1.34 billion, the Ministry has initiated the development of a public-private partnership model in order to fulfil the purpose of the system by pooling funds and expertise.
