Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts (Dukljanska akademija nauka i umjetnost, DANU; Latin Academia Dioclitiana Scientiarum et Artium) is a scholar's academy in Montenegro. It is named after the historic state of Duklja on the territory of today's Montenegro.

Political pamphlet from 2001 of Jevrem Brković's Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts for the support of election of Milo Đukanović's Democratic nationalist Coalition for an independent Montenegro; it depicts Montenegro as a Greater Red Croatia and hypothetical pan-Croatian unified lands (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bačka, Srem, Sandžak, Metohija and northern half of Albania).

The academy is not the only one in the country, the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts is the country's national academy. The two organizations have been working together to develop a Montenegrin encyclopedia.

The academy grants the following awards:

• Saint Vladimir of Duklja Award - awarded biennially for lifetime achievement
• Sclavorum Regnum Award - awarded for achievement in the sciences
• Lesendro Award - awarded for achievement in Montenegrin literature
• Njegoš Award - awarded for achievement within the Academy and in the promotion of Montengrin sciences and arts
