The National Research - Development Institute for Animal Biology and Nutrition (INCDBNA-IBNA Balotești) is the most important research unit in the field of animal science in Romania. IBNA addresses a wide range of research directions and objectives (effects of nutrition on the performance and health of farm animals - immune status, quality and safety of feed and animal products, feed contaminants, estimation of breeding value, adaptation of farm nutrition strategies to global changes, animal nutrition in the food chain-functional foods, the use of animal models for human nutrition, etc.), generating dozens of research results annually (scientific papers, products, services, etc.), while ensuring their technological transfer to potential beneficiaries.

The Institute is conducting research and development activities that aim to maintain and improve the background / genetic heritage of potatoes, sugar beets, herbs, turkeys and cattle. It also studies methods to create new varieties of potato and sugar beet by using classical and unconventional methods, using wild and cultivated species, with good adaptation to Romanian conditions, with disease resistance, which makes better use of ecological and technological resources and it is interested in improving the quality of seed potatoes and promoting biotechnologies (in vitro cultures, micro and mini-tubers

The National Institute for Research - Development in Tourism - INCDT Bucharest has as main object of activity the performance of fundamental and applied researches, of public and national interest, regarding the development and promotion of the Romanian tourism.

The Danube Delta National Institute for Research and Development (DDNI) was established in 1970 and its main objective is conducting fundamental and applied research for scientific support of the management of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR) and other wetland areas of national and international interest, with particular focus on biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.

The main object of activity includes research - development in following fields: ecology and protection of the marine environment, oceanography, marine engineering, resource management; research on the structure, functioning, evolution, modification, modeling of marine ecosystems; ecological productivity; technologies and solutions to prevent coastal erosion; ecological rehabilitation and recovery; investigation of the marine environment; aquaculture and resource industrialization; fishing. The Institute is also conducting research regarding the making of equipment for exploration and capitalization of resources.
