- activities that enhance the scientific research by means of dissemination of results, data and knowledge through publishing and education;
- activities that broaden the scope of Centre's operation to provide a mean for deriving social and economical benefits in two micro-regions in Croatia, through elaboration and promotion of two archaeological parks, as management models for preservation, presentation and utilisation of cultural heritage today.
