Laboratory for Technical and Technological Measurements in Forestr
In the period between 1998 and 2018 the employees of the Institute of Forest Engineering were the leaders of fifty-two scientific projects licensed by the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of the University of Zagreb. Nine projects were financed by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia (MSES RH), three were designed as a part of technological project of MSES RH, one was co-financed by the European Social Fund and the MSES RH, thirty-two were ordered by the company “Hrvatske šume” (Croatian Forests), and seven by public institutions managing various categories of protected natural areas. Most scientific projects relate to research on wood coating and woodchips production from the perspective of the efficiency, environmental suitability and safety at work (13), followed by the research of the business organization, planning and production in forestry (10), the technical, energy and ergonomic benefits of forestry machinery (9), eco-engineering management of nature protected areas (8), primary and secondary forest openings and optimization of the forest road network (6), mechanization of silvicultural works (4), design, construction and maintenance of forest transport infrastructure (2).
