FOUNDATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy (IHTM) of Belgrade continues the tradition of the First State Chemical Laboratory of Serbia, initially founded in 1859 by the Decree of Milo{ Obrenovi}, Prince of Serbia. The building of the Laboratory was built in 1882 and it is still the location of the Institute. In 1948, the Serbian Academy of Sciences reorganized and transformed the Laboratory into the Chemical Intitute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. In 1954, the Government of the National Assembly of the PR of Serbia proclaimed the Institute of Chemistry an independent institution. Subsequent transformation of the Institute took place in 1961 when the Government passed a decree by which the Institute was reformed by the Government of Serbia, the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy and the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Belgrade together with fourteen enterprises of Serbia, under the new title: Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy (IHTM). Ever since 1973, the Institute has been a part of the University of Belgrade and a number of the research staff of the Institute are university professors as well. At least one member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts is a permanently elected member of the Institute's Board of Directors.

The mentioned transformations, changes and innovations have been part of the developmental program of the institution Itself. The building, the existing equipment and the staff members were taken over from the Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and thus, the Institute continues the tradition of the First State Chemical Laboratory of Serbia.
