LABUST has taken part in many scientific research projects relating to underwater systems and technologies in various roles. This includes numerous international (FP7, H2020, ONRG, INTERREG,...) as well as national projects.
In the week of November 13th 2023, LABUST members Matej Ćosić, Eugen Kutleša, and Ivan Oreč deployed the iVrša (innovative fishing trap) as part of the project's first field trials. The iVrša was tested in the sea near an oyster and mussel farm in Šibenik.
