University Units

- Institute of Biotechnology -

Institute for Biotechnology is the oldest research institution in Montenegro. Its unit, Centre for Subtropical cultures in Bar, was founded in 1937.
Immediately after World War II, Agency for Agricultural Research in Titograd and Agency for Cattle-breeding in Nikšić were founded and the experimental station in Bar was transformed into the Agency for Southern Cultures and Wine-growing. Afterwards, in 1950 Diagnostic-veterinary station was formed in Titograd, and in 1952 Station for Fruit Growing was formed in Bijelo Polje. All these units became parts of the Agricultural Institute, which is the Institute of Biotechnology today.
