FEBS; Croatian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Sažetak
The Croatian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (HDBMB) became a regular member of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) in 1992 ; yet, Croatian biochemists joined the FEBS family already at the FEBS Congress in Vienna in 1965, just one year after the FEBS has been established, through the Section for Biochemistry of the Union of the Chemical (and later Biochemical) Societies of Yugoslavia. Thanks to the vision, enthusiasm, and dedicated work of our distinguished Professors PavaoMildner, Elsa Reiner, BlankaRies, ŽeljkoKućan, MirnaFlögel, Ljubinka, Vitale and many others, the Croatian Biochemical Society, established in 1976, kept close contact with FEBS to this day. In addition to the active participation in the programs of the FEBS Congresses, many Croatian biochemists and molecular biologists were awarded with the FEBS fellowships, which provided them, especially young scientists, with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and experience in laboratories all acrossEurope. Thanks to these visits, numerous fruitful collaborations were established and many of them last for many years. Through the Young Scientists Fellowship program many PhD students and young postdocsgot a chance to participate inthe FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum, thus contributing to the networking and promotion of molecular life sciences all around Europe. Croatian biochemists and molecular biologists also organised several FEBS courses and summer schools on different topics (e.g., Enzymology, Glycobiology, Plant Biochemistry, Immunology, and Bioinformatics). The first summer school was organised in 1971 in Zadar(FEBS Summer School on Catalytic and Regulatory Proprieties of enzymes), whileseveral years later, in 1979, the Special FEBS Meeting on Enzymes was held in Cavtat. Members of the Croatian Biochemical Society also expressed their profound dedication and appreciation of the FEBS ideas through contribution to the organisation of the 18th FEBS Congress, held in Ljubljana in 1987. The strong and wide support of FEBS to the HDBMB was evident during the visit of the FEBS Working group for Central and Eastern Europe (today Working group for Integration) in 2006, organisation of the Education Workshop (FEBS Education Committee) in 2010, and especially through the support to theFEBS3+ Meeting organised in Opatija in 2012 together with Hungarian and Slovenian biochemical societies. We are confident that the future collaboration between FEBS and HDBMB will be even wider and stronger ; therefore, weproudly join the celebration of the first 50 successful years of the FEBS!
