The Croatian National Grid Infrastructure (CRO NGI) is an integrated allocated computer environment, consisting primarily of computer (processing) and data (disc and tape) resources, which are located in geographically allocated sites within the Republic of Croatia.
The first CRO NGI Partner Contracts were signed on November 5, 2007 by four institutions, plus two Partners by default - the Ministry of Science and Education and CARNet, the Croatian NREN.
The ministry has issued the CRO NGI Basic Principles 
, a document covering the organizational structure and use of CRO NGI, including the schema of its management model.
The Croatian National Grid Initiative (CRO-GRID) is a voluntary-based association of academic and research institutions, government institutions and commercial companies gathered around CRO NGI. Founders and members of CRO-GRID are the institutions which took part in the poly-project CRO-GRID from 2004 to 2007:
Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Osijek; Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing of the University of Zagreb; Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture of the University of Split; Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences of the University of Zagreb; Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Rijeka; Rudjer Boskovic Institute; Ministry of Science, Education and Sports; Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb; University Computing Centre, University of Zagreb - Srce; Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka.
Partners of CRO NGI automatically become members of CRO-GRID.
