The project is focused on the identification and analysis of economic, political, security, cultural, and other social processes to achieve sustainable development and strengthen the resilience of the Republic of Croatia in the regional and international context.

Key research areas include: stability and security (UN Sustainable Development Goals 9, 11, 16, and 17), competitiveness and innovation (Goals 8, 9, 11, 12), and global challenges and the international context (Goals 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17). To a lesser extent, issues related to local cultural, social, and natural resources and their utilization are also covered (Goals 3, 4, 5, 11, 1). The Center for Migration Studies was also established as part of the project.

The analysis will cover: (i) the goals, interests, and actions of the Republic of Croatia in the European and broader international context, (ii) the actions of the European Union and its member states in foreign policy and security, transatlantic relations with a special emphasis on NATO alliance policies, and (iii) global relations. Based on these analyses, key social and economic processes will be identified, along with the necessary policies and measures to enhance resilience and sustainability. In addition to scientific research, project activities will include the dissemination and spread of knowledge, as well as the popularization of science.
