University of Belgrade

Rector's foreword

The publication before you is neither a guidebook nor a monograph in the usual sense of these terms.

During its preparation, our intention was to concisely present the University in its entirety, through its institutions, from its inception to the present. The task is by no means easy, considering the more than one hundred fifty years of higher education in this region, the ninety years since the foundation of the University of Belgrade, the thirty-nine university and research institutions that are part of the University of Belgrade, the large number of fields and disciplines that are taught, and the number of students, teachers, associates, researchers and administrative-technical personnel who take part in the University's work.

If the pages that follow succeed in even partially evoking the wealth and variety of what this University offers, if they acquaint you with its origins and what the University represents today, if they awaken your curiosity and encourage you to get in touch with any of the institutions that compose the University in order to receive further information about what they offer and their possibilities, then the effort we have made has not been in vain.

The Rector of the University
Prof. Dr. Dragutin Veli~kovi}
