Abstract
The documents "Science and Technology Policy of the Republic of Croatia 2006 - 2010" and "Action Plan" were adopted by the Government of the Republic of Croatia towards the end of 2006 as the key instruments for restructuring, development and modernization of science and technology in the Republic of Croatia by the end of 2010. The Croatian science, technology and innovation policy must be compatible with that of the EU and Lisbon Strategy (LS) as the underlying document for national strategies of member countries. This strategy conveys two major goals: stronger and more stable economic growth, which further implies opening of a larger number of high-quality jobs. It is an imperative to strengthen the competitiveness of national economies, and concrete measures are specified to achieve these goals. The mentioned Croatian documents analyze the existing state and long-term and short-term development priorities in the field of scientific research, innovation and technological activities in the Republic of Croatia as well as measures that will ensure the realization of the strategy and conveyed goals. In that context concrete implementation elements and measures are pointed out, and appropriate supervising bodies of the Republic of Croatia have been established, which will continuously supervise and ensure the implementation of proposed measures at the national and local level and at the level of each research, educational and technological subject in the Republic of Croatia, respectively.
