Sažetak
This special issue is dedicated to the 40th Anniversary of organized activities of the Croatian Immunological Society. On this occasion the Annual Meeting of Croatian Immunological Society will be organized in [ibenik, October 9-12 2008, where this supplement will be introduced and distributed. The idea for such a collection of data was born (conceived) during my first presidency 10 years ago, when the first account of Croatian Immunological Society activities was published, in Croatian. This time, we have tried to include not only the founding and activities of Croatian Immunological Society but also all research groups working in the field of immunology in Croatia during the past 40 years. I wish to express my warmest thanks to all authors for their contributions. Especially for collecting all the relevant data, references and achievements of their research groups.
From the collected data it is evident that Immunology in Croatia developed very fast (rapidly), and achieved a prominent place among scientific disciplines. Both national and international collaboration resulted in the establishment of new groups, not only at universities where immunology first started, but also at several institutes and hospitals in Zagreb and Rijeka. The number of Croatian Immunological Society members varies, being always more than one hundred and less than two hundred, but with a very good renewal rate of young members each year. We hope that, with improved financing policy of basic science in Croatia, more novices will be attracted, and that immunologists will remain as active as they were throughout this past 40 years, despite some quite untoward conditions.
