Centre for Advanced Laser Techniques (CALT) – a national strategic research infrastructure project of the Institute of Physics funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the 2018-2021 period with the budget of 16 mil. EUR for the reconstruction of one of the buildings of the Institute of Physics in Zagreb and subsequent equipping with state-of-the-art laser scientific equipment. CALT’s mission is to provide the environment for interdisciplinary laser-based research at the highest level.

Cryogenic center of the Institute of Physics (KaCIF) project,  with the main goal of upgrading of already present and developing of new low temperature techniques, as well as the modernization and upgrading of scientific research equipment used in fundamental and applied research in condensed matter physics.

Scientific Center of Excellence for Quantum and Complex Systems, and Representations of Lie Algebras (QuantiXLie) – with the main goal to strongly reinforce the international visibility of theoretical physics and mathematics research conducted at Croatian universities and scientific institutes, ant to enable implementing large competitive projects for international programs. QuantiXLie aims to create a motivating environment for learning and training of young researchers and provide a stable long-time financial framework for their education and professional development.

Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials and Sensing Devices (CEMS) – has a strong research line in photonics and quantum optics, with topics in: quantum communication, quantum entanglement, random number generation, quantum contextuality, quantum-assisted bio-mimetic computing, quantum sensors, and quantum repeaters. Another objective of the Center is the synthesis of advanced materials and structures, particularly those that can be applied in other domains of basic and applied science, thus catalyzing innovation, transfer of technologies and enhancing capabilities in instrumentation and human resources.
