Activities in the domain of natural sciences date back to the early days of Matica Srpska. The first books, in the fields of agriculture, fruit science and viticulture, animal science, beekeeping etc. were published in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Their primary goal was enlightenment of the people (Editions: Books for the People and Books of Matica Srpska).<\/p>\n
The requirement for the organization of scientific research work in Matica Srpska resulted in assembly of the Scientific Department. It was instituted in the Constitution of Matica Srpska from September 1920 and was constituted in April 1922. Jovan Cviji\u0107, president of the Serbian Royal Academy, was elected head of the department. The outline of the Constitution of Matica Srpska from 1948 suggested the founding of the Scientific Department of Matica Srpska. Regulations of the Scientific Department, Article 8, define the tasks of the Section for Natural Sciences. These include: research of the flora and fauna, geological and geographical phenomena in Vojvodina as well as support of the development of sciences concerned with nature in Vojvodina. The Section of Natural Sciences had two groups: Biological and Geographical. As the scientific research activities intensified, the need for the creation of an independent department arose. In May, 1965, at the Regular Assembly Meeting of Matica Srpska, the Department of Natural Sciences of Matica Srpska was formed.<\/p>\n
Ever since then the Department has been active in scientific research in all fields of natural sciences. The core activities focus on scientific research projects, organization of scientific conferences, publishing of books i.e. special editions, periodicals and proceedings from scientific conferences as well as awards.<\/p>\n
The work of the Department is managed by the Board of the Department that has a four year mandate. Head of the board is the Secretary General.\u00a0The current Board was elected at the meeting of the Executive Board held on September 5, 2024.<\/p>\n
Secretary General of the Department: Academician Rudolf<\/a> Kastori, Full Member of the Vojvodina Academy of Sciences and Arts<\/p>\n The Board of the Department:<\/strong><\/p>\n Professor Goran Ana\u010dkov, PhD In the past few decades the work of scientific research projects has been aimed at research in the fields of medicine and health, animal and plant research, geology, geomorphology, hydrology and climatology of Vojvodina. The research of the population, the flora and fauna of Fru\u0161ka Gora and Vr\u0161ac Mountains has been the most significant. Special attention is devoted to research in the fields of microbiology, mycology, biophysics and biochemistry.<\/p>\n Results of the work of scientific research projects are published in scientific monographs as well as in periodical and special publications, and are presented at national and international scientific conferences.<\/p>\n 2008 Group of Authors, INVERTEBRATES (Invertebarta) OF THE FRUSKA GORA MOUNTAIN (I), ed. S. \u0160imi\u0107 The Department organized numerous scientific conferences on issues related to ecology, health and so forth in the past. In 2003 the Department established the MIKOLOGIJA, MIKOTOKSIKOLOGIJA I MIKOZE scientific symposium (Mycology, Micotoxicology and Mycoses). This conference is organized every two years. Proceedings from this conference are published in Matica\u2019s periodical: Zbornik Matice srpske za prirodne nauke (Matica Srpska Journal of Natural Sciences).<\/p>\n The Department awards development and support of natural sciences with the Professor Lazar Stojkovi\u0107 Award and the Pupin Award.<\/p>\n Matica Srpska, in accordance with the will of Professor Lazar Stojkovi\u0107 (*1904\u2013\u20201977), established an award in his name, which is presented every three years to younger researchers on his birthday, March 23. According to the wishes of this great benefactor, the award is intended for younger researchers primarily focused on issues in the fields of agroecology and agroecosystems. The award has been presented since 1990. The award jury was elected at the meeting of the Executive Board held on December 23, 2024.<\/p>\n Lazar Stojkovi\u0107 Award Jury: The Pupin Award is given for student works that contribute to the technical and natural-mathematical disciplines pursued by Mihajlo Pupin. Established in 1995, it is awarded every three years. The jury for the Pupin Award was elected at the meeting of the Executive Board held on December 23, 2024.
