After having been elected Zagreb University Rector (in 1969), he reformed the University, and subsequently initiated the establishment of the international Inter-University Centre in Dubrovnik (in 1972). He gained international renown thanks to his views and fight against war, violence, nuclear weapons, and the misuse of scientific achievements. He regularly took part in meetings of the Pugwash Movement and founded the Croatian Pugwash Movement.\u00a0<\/p><p>Ivan Supek became corresponding member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1948, and full member thereof in 1961. He founded the Institute for Philosophy of Science and Peace (in 1965) within the Academy, and the centre of the Pugwash Movement, as well as launched the quarterly publication entitled <em>Enciklopedia moderna,<\/em> with humanistic orientation to sciences and arts and political pluralism. During his presidency (1991\u20131997), he encouraged the merging of history and philosophy of science within the Academy Institute of History and Philosophy of Science (in 1992).\u00a0He became full member of the Department of Mathematical, Physical, Chemical and Technical Sciences in 1961, and it was in his presidential term that he proposed and implemented the establishment of a separate Academy Department of Technical Sciences (in 1997).

After his arrival to Zagreb (in 1879), he worked as chemistry professor at the then Philosophical Faculty (today Faculty of the Humanities and Social Studies) for nearly half a century. He was Dean of the Faculty in three terms, and Rector of the University of Zagreb 1908\u20131809.<\/p><p>He established the Croatian chemical environment, raised several generations of Croatian chemists, and mentored the first twenty doctoral dissertations in chemistry. He was one of the founders of the Educational Course in Pharmacy (in 1842) at the then Philosophical Faculty, where many Croatian pharmacists started their education. He thereby laid the foundations of the present Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry. Upon his arrival in Zagreb, he performed chemical analyses for the purposes of court expertise; hence, he is considered founder of the Croatian forensic chemistry.<\/p><p>Gustav Jane\u010dek founded two university institutes: University Chemical Institute, which later changed its name to the Institute of Chemistry, on the Strossmayer Square (in 1884); and the Institute of Chemistry on the Maruli\u0107 Square (in 1919). In addition thereto, he founded the wholesaler Isis (in 1918) and the Ka\u0161tel pharmaceutical factory (in 1921), today known under the name of Pliva. Amazed by the beauty of the Plitvice Lakes, he founded the Society for the Landscaping and Embellishment of the Plitvice Lakes and the Surroundings (in<\/p><p>1893), which encouraged a series of activities leading to the proclamation of the Plitvice Lakes National Park (in 1949).<\/p><p>In 1882, he became corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts; in 1887, he was elected full member thereof; and 1921\u20131924, he was Academy President.

He systematically analysed the Croatian legal and historical monuments as a starting point for the presentation of the uninterrupted use of the official Croatian language and the development of legal terminology, and for the research of centuries-old social circumstances. In this context, he compiled the Tributes for the Croatian Legal-Historical Dictionary (published in 10 volumes 1908\u20131922; Annexes in 1923) \u2013 a synthesis of his work on the collection and promotion of the Croatian legal heritage, and an indispensable<\/p><p>manual and capital work of the Croatian lexicography.

He published his poems and translations as associate of the newspaper Vienac. Mareti\u0107 was a broadly educated polyglot, a very prolific linguist, and the principal representative of the Croatian linguists supporting phonemic orthography. He was responsible for the consistent codification of the new-\u0160tokavian dialect as literary language, and for the introduction of phonemic orthography. His life&#8217;s work is Grammar and Stylistics of the Croatian or Serbian Literary Language (1899; 1931; 1963 without stylistics), which actually describes an etalon language (a part of the \u010cakavian dialect). He believed that only the dialect chosen to be the basis is the right one; at that time, literary language had not yet been fully comprehended as a separate part of language with its own rules, independent of the basis.<\/p><p>Being a young grammarian, Mareti\u0107 did not differentiate literary language from its dialectal base. He moreover neither took into account the centuries-old development of the Croatian literary language nor its normative standardisation in numerous grammar books written before his. Mareti\u0107 was a language Unitarian. Particular important features of the Croatian language bothered him, and he tried to remove them to the highest extent possible. It is a well-known fact that he, same as other Croatian linguists who supported phonemic orthography, had not succeeded in these intentions. Mareti\u0107 published papers on the language of older Dalmatian and Slavonian writers; the history of the Croatian writing; folk epic\u00a0poetry; names; borrowings from the Czech and Russian languages; the importance of an artificial international language; etc.<\/p><p>He was elected full member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1886. For thirty years, he had edited the historical Dictionary of the Croatian or Serbian Language \u2013 six books (out of 23) with about 6,000 pages (maslo \u2013 pr\u0161utina). Among translations of classical works, his translations of The Odyssey (1882) and The Iliad (1883) are held in high esteem.

He furthermore took part in the launch of Academy editions including materials important for the history, science, culture and art of the Croatian people: in 1868, the edition entitled Monumenta spectantia historiam Slavorum meridionalium (MSHSM) was launched; in 1869, Old Croatian Writers; and in 1877, Monumenta historico-juridica Slavorum meridionalium (MHJSM).<\/p><p>In the context of the establishment of the Strossmayer Gallery in Zagreb (in 1884), his influence as Academy President was crucial. Particularly important works by Franjo Ra\u010dki are: The Bogomils and the Patarenes (1870), in which he dealt with the phenomenon of the Bosnian Church; Documenta historiae Croaticae periodum antiquam illustrantia (MSHSM, Vol. VIII, 1877), a collection of sources for the early-Mediaeval Croatian history; and the Internal State of Croatia before the 18th Century (1894), in which he proved, inter alia, that the<\/p><p>Mediaeval Croatian state had its own court office, from which 28 valuable documents have been preserved.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6a97e5b elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6a97e5b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7398afc\" data-id=\"7398afc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48076577 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48076577\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Izabrano na Skup\u0161tini odr\u017eanoj 11. studenoga 2010.,<br \/>\nmandat od 1. 1. 2011. \u2013 31. 12. 2014.<\/h3>\n<p>Izabrano na Skup\u0161tini odr\u017eanoj 13. studenoga 2014.<br \/>\nmandat od 1. 1. 2015. &#8211;
