Founded on 23 December 2021 by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, this institution is renowned for its experts in water quality assessment across the country.
Josip Juraj Strossmayer Water Institute, established by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, is renowned for its expertise in the fields of natural, biotechnical, and technical sciences, particularly in chemistry and biology, with a focus on water science and quality assessment. Named after Josip Juraj Strossmayer, a distinguished 19th-century Croatian bishop and theologian, the Institute is dedicated to improving water management systems and addressing environmental challenges in Croatia’s water sector. On 7 September 1886, Bishop Strossmayer founded the Vuka River Regulation Cooperative, which is considered the first institutional water management document in the present-day Republic of Croatia.

Mission
Expert analysis and development.
To provide scientific and professional support in the development, implementation, and evaluation of water policies.
Vision
Our leadership role.
To establish a leading position in the scientific and professional community for integrated water resource management.
Our water policy is based on a precise analysis of water resources conducted over a six-year monitoring period. Monitoring stations and specific water quality indicators have been defined. Centralised within the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), the data follow a pathway from field measurements to laboratory analysis and storage. LIMS ensures reliability and precision, contributing to improved water resource management and nature conservation.
