The Slovak Academy of Sciences (abbreviated SAV), Slovak: Slovenská akadémia vied , is the Academy of Sciences (highest scientific institution) in Slovakia .

history

In 1942, the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAVU) was founded in what was then the Slovak state as the central scientific organization in Slovakia. She was primarily the successor to the Slovak learned society ( Slovenská učená spoločnosť ) founded in 1939 , which in turn was the successor to the Šafárik'schen learned society ( Učená spoločnosť Šafárikova ) founded in 1926 . The position of the SAVU was downgraded to that of a "scientific society" in 1946 when Czechoslovakia had been restored after World War II.

In 1953 it was finally completely reformed and renamed the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV). Since 1960 it was formally subordinate to the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences . Since the dissolution of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1992, it has also been formally an independent institution again.

In July 2010, the Virological Institute in Bratislava burned down, so that large parts of the biological collection in the cooling chambers were destroyed.
