ABOUT THE CROATIAN ACADEMY, ITS DEPARTMENTS, AND MEMBERS BORN IN THE NORTHWEST OF CROATIA. ON THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PAPERS OF THE INSTITUTE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WORK IN VARAŽDIN

Summary/Abstract: As many as 82 people whose exceptional scientific and artistic contributions earned them a place in the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts were born in the Northwest of Croatia, a region which includes the counties of Bjelovar-Bilogora, Koprivnica-Križevci, Krapina-Zagorje, Međimurje and Varaždin. Most of those Academy members hail from the Varaždin County and approximately the same number from Koprivnica-Križevci and Krapina-Zagorje counties, followed closely by the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, with the fewest of them being native to the Međimurje County. They are represented in all of the Academy’s departments; most of them are members of the Department of Fine Arts, while only one of them is a member of the Department of Technical Sciences. A number of them hold the title of academician or full member of the Academy, while others are associate, honorary or corresponding members. At the time of the writing of this article, of the total number of Academy members from the Northwest of Croatia, 64 are deceased, while 18 are living. Additionally, 80 of that number are men, while only 2 are women. The goal of this paper is to raise the awareness of the significance of their contributions for Croatian history, science, culture and art in the local community. There are three Academy institutes active in the northwest of Croatia,: the Institute for Scientific Work of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Varaždin, the Institute for Scientific and Artistic Work in Bjelovar, and the Institute for Scientific Research and Artistic Work of the Koprivnica-Križevci County in Križevci.
