Abstract
Up until now, extensive research has been done on the life and legacy of Franjo Kogoj (1894–1983) who was a prominent Croatian dermatovenereologist, full-time professor and Dean of the Zagreb School of Medicine, long-standing head of the University Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Zagreb University Hospital Centre, head of the Department of Dermatovenereology, Zagreb University School of Medicine, as well as a full member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts (YASA). In this paper, we shall present Kogoj’s role in YASA after he was elected its full member in 1947, especially during his mandates as the first Secretary of the Department of Medical Sciences (1950–1958) and as Vice-President of the Academy (1958–1972). We shall follow his various publishing activities, interna- tional networking, as well as his role in the establishment of important medical institutions. The paper is based on Kogoj’s articles published in Academy’s periodicals, the documentation kept at the Academy’s Division for the History of Medical Sciences and fragments of his material heritage preserved in the Croatian Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
