FOUNDATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The "Sini{a Stankovi}" Institute for Biological Research in Belgrade, a member of the University of Belgrade and one of the most outstanding Yugoslav institutions in the area of biological sciences, was founded in 1947 owing to the merit and devotion of the late academican Prof. Dr Sini{a Stankovi}.

The Institute of Ecology and Biogeography was founded in 1947, and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts founded the Institute of Genetics, Selection, and Physiology of Grotwh that same year. By joining these two institutions in 1956, the Institute of Biology was created as the largest and most complete research organization in the country in the area of biological sciences. The name of the late academician Sini{a Stankovi}, the first director of the institution, was given to the Institute in 1974.

Four members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts were elected from among the ranks of the research staff of the lnstitute, as well as three members of foreign academies of sciences.

The Institute has been a member of the University of Belgrade since 1973.
