We have organised six symposiums and conferences, including the conference
of the Council for Gerontology and Intergenerational Symbiosis, a symposium
that was held on the occasion of the 20 th anniversary of the death of the academy
member Stojan Cigoj , and the symposium, held on the occasion of the 100 th
anniversary of the birth of Zoran Mušič , the corresponding member of SASA.
The list of publications is very long. Last year, the Commission for printing
and publications functioned very positively. SASA financed or contributed to the
costs of the publication of 28 books. Many books of our members were also published
by other publishing companies. The Academy held eleven presentations of
new publications.
Sadly, in 2009, the Academy lost its full members Vasilij Melik and Ernest
Mayer , and the corresponding members Andrej V. Popov, Otto Prokop , Jan
Stankowski , Karl Stuhlpfarrer and Irena Grickat Radulović.
At the end of the year, SASA had 87 full, 16 associate and 80 corresponding
members, altogether 183 members.
A long list of awards, recognitions, honorary awards and titles, awarded to
academy members in Slovenia and abroad, is the proof of our work. These awards
include the Zois’s award for lifetime work, two state decorations with the golden
order of merits, three honorary doctorates and seven prestigious awards and recognitions
to artists: three to poets, three to writers and one to a painter.
To summarize: in its 71 st year, the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts
could proudly and deservedly carry the name that was also the name and the
password of our ancestors: Academia Operosorum Labacensium.
