Sažetak

A civil society represents a content value on a growth and development
path of each democratically constituted government. Scientific (and professional) societies have filling the space created by the strict division between universities, whose role is first to transmit knowledge, and second to fulfil intellectual commitments. On the other hand, there are institutions devoted to science itself, research, and experiments. Scientific and professional associations include registered associations of scientific and professional workers based in the Republic of Croatia, which have been founded with scientific and professional activities in mind, for the purpose of promoting and developing the science and professions (organization of conferences, publication of scientific journals and other journals, etc.) as well as roviding expertise in education and acquiring new knowledge in the fields of science for which they were established. Scientific societies as non-profit organizations, apart from their concern for the benefit of their members, have demonstrated a great ability in creating an infrastructure that is invisible to the eye, by setting up and opening communication channels.
