Welcome to

The Institute of Biology in Sarajevo was founded on January 11, 1946, by the decision of the National Museum and the Office of the Presidency of the People's Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Establishment Decree No. 5962 of January 12, 1946). The decree was published on January 16, 1946 in the Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina (number 3, page 57). Two years after its establishment, on January 1, 1948, the Institute of Biology became an independent institution under the management and supervision of the Committee for Faculties, Colleges and Scientific Institutions.

In the same year, the first issue of the journal "Annual of the Institute of Biology" was published, which would be published for the next four decades and which would close down together with its publisher in 1992. All issues of the journal are now available in digitized form on the website of the Faculty of Science.
