Croatia launches EUR 13 million seismic monitoring project with Romania

Croatia's Seismological Service launched Crossnet, a EUR 13 million EU-funded project to establish a seismic data network. This initiative involves collaboration with Romanian seismologists and aims to modernize Croatia's seismic monitoring following the 2020 earthquakes in Zagreb and the Banovina region. The network now includes over 125 operational stations, with more than 90 installed to monitor national heritage sites.

The project is one of Croatia's largest recent investments in seismological infrastructure. The collected information will help identify soil characteristics that can amplify earthquake effects, contributing to safer construction and certification processes in the country.
