The beginnings of Macedonian academic research and institution building : (19th - early 20th century)

This current collection of articles, entitled The Beginnings of Macedonian Academic Research and Institution Building (19th ‒ early 20th century), edited by Biljana Ristovska-Josifovska and Dragi Ǵorgiev, consists of papers presented at the workshop, providing an overview of some of the most important historical phenomena and personalities whose initial research and ideas for institution-building formed the basis for contemporary Macedonian academic culture and science. While a collection of this length cannot exhaustively cover all aspects of the beginnings and early development of Macedonian academic culture, we hope this book will contribute to extending the exchange of knowledge between Europe and the Black Sea region, as well as opening up areas for further research and comparative analysis.
