The Center of Excellence ​​for Green Technologies was accredited by the Board for Accreditation of Scientific Research Institutions in 2018. The Center conducts research related to the environment and sustainable development, including renewable energy sources, sustainable agriculture, protection, control and purification of water, soil and air, new technologies that reduce energy consumption and reduce the use and production of toxic substances. The Center's researchers are currently implementing numerous national and international projects. A wide range of expertise within one institution allows us to implement complex projects in the field of green technologies. There are 7 well-equipped laboratories within the Center.
