Infrastructural Centres

Infrastructural Centres (IC) manage expensive scientific research equipment that enables sophisticated technological research. The use and maintenance of this equipment requires in-depth knowledge. The two infrastructural centres at NIB are:

- Infrastructural Centre Planta (IC Planta) that is part of the Department of Biotechnology and Systems Biology.
- Infrastructural Centre of Marine Biology Station Piran (IC MBP) is part of the Marine Biology Station Piran.


The operation of ICs is mostly financed by the Slovenian Research Agency in the scope of the NIB infrastructure programme. Each IC provides services and equipment for the public and the private sector.
