The objective of ICPA is to generate knowledge on soil, fertilisers and plant nutrition, and to develop technologies and skills to apply that knowledge. The results of public-funded research are normally published as scientific papers. Contract work is reported confidentially to customers, but this may also be published later on agreed terms. Other important outputs include the development of technologies, such as modeling software packages, some of which lead to patents and commercially exploitable products. Advice on policy to Government and Parliamentary Commissions is other facet of ICPA outputs. ICPA develops research and service activities for public sector (ministries, county agencies, Universities, NGOs) and private sector (small and medium companies, farms, industrial units), not only from Romania, but also from other countries. The outputs are generated and provided using the most advanced technology, including friendly visualisation (e.g. dynamic maps on monitor, required maps on plotter) and interactive scenarios based on models integrated in GIS, expert systems and decision support systems. ICPA Computing Centre provides agricultural/environment information services - as the Romanian AGRIS/CARIS Centre in the FAO's AGRIS/CARIS network.  

The Matica Srpska Library in its funds has more than 4,000,000 books and other publications. The Library receives the sample copy of all the publications of Serbia.

Cataloguing and bibliography work are automated since 1989. CIP cataloging is made for all Vojvodina publications. In August 2011, the Library data base has had over 1.170.000 entries. The Library gives services in research domestic as well as foreign data bases. In its 7 reading-rooms there are 250 seats. The Library is constantly expanding its publishing and exhibit work. Restoration and conservation is done in a modern well equipped laboratory. As the central library for all University and public libraries in Vojvodina organizes expert exams for all Vojvodina libraries.  

The vision of the ARC is to become a centre of excellence in agricultural research by developing skilled manpower and conducting quality research to generate technologies that would ensure sustainable crop production, and to play an active role in technology transfer process. The mission of the ARC is to plan, develop and implement research designed to produce technologies and systems that are required to ensure high and sustainable crop productivity, food security and export capacity. The ARC is entrusted with applied agricultural research on food and industrial crops, forestry, livestock and food technology, and with ecological and regional responsibilities to develop sustainable production systems in the Sudan.  

The Slovak Library of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Technical University in Zvolen is an academic library of the Technical University in Zvolen and fulfils also the function of the only specialised scientific library in the fields of forestry and wood sciences within the Slovak Republic. A main role of the Library is to collect, process, store and make accessible scientific and technical literature and information for the Technical University pedagogical and research workers, students, as well as for other professionals and institutions in the Slovak Republic and abroad. The Library provides free access to information on all types of media, helps to satisfy cultural, information, scientific, research and educational needs, supports life-long learning and intellectual growth.  

The International Potato Center, known by its Spanish acronym CIP, was founded in 1971 as a root and tuber research-for-development institution to deliver sustainable solutions to the pressing world problems of hunger, poverty, and the degradation of natural resources. CIP is truly a global center, with headquarters in Lima, Peru and offices in 30 countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Working closely with hundreds of partners worldwide, CIP seeks to achieve food security, increased well-being, and gender equity for poor people in root and tuber farming, and food systems in the developing world. CIP furthers its mission through rigorous research, innovation in science and technology, and capacity strengthening among farmers and partners. CIP and its partners work across the agricultural spectrum. From the laboratory to the marketplace, CIP biologists, entomologists, agronomists, nutritionists, and social scientists conduct research and carry out projects.
