Oneof the largest philanthropies in the world, HHMI hassupported outstanding scientists in Central andEastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine since 1995,reflecting the Institute's commitment to scientificexcellence as a global enterprise. "HHMI believes it is essential that fresh newscientists with fresh new ideas start independentcareers with sufficient resources to becomecompetitive in the global world of contemporaryscience," said Peter J. Bruns, Institute vicepresident for grants and special programs. "Byresources, we mean more than money; we mean equipment,supplies, personnel, space, and time.

"By offering young independent scientists theresources they need to get started and the assuranceof local support in the long-term, EMBO and HHMI hopeto help strengthen science in Central Europe," saidFrank Gannon, executive director of EMBO. "EMBO'sinvolvement in this initiative represents ourcontinued commitment to supporting countriesthroughout Europe that wish to develop and enhancetheir science bases."

As a result of these efforts, I am delighted toÂinform you that the first issue of the Croatian edition of NGM will be onÂthe market in November 2003.The Croatian NGM editorial team is in place and is already working hard onÂpreparation of the first issue. We have gathered the Croatian expert teamÂ(the most eminent professors from Croatian Universities, other experts onÂvarious NG related topics, etc.), but are looking for Croatian experts,Âincluding translators based in the U.S., which we could recommend to NGM inÂD.C. As you probably know, NGS gained its great reputation for reportingÂaccurate information and spreading knowledge of geography, geology, biologyÂand history of the world based on extremely high standards, also requiredÂfrom every local edition, which is reverse translated and checked in everyÂsingle detail. Therefore, I would appreciate if you could disseminate thisÂinformation via Crown and ask if there are interested translators of theÂCroatian language as well as experts in the NG related fields, who wouldÂlike to cooperate with NGM. They can contact either me directly or HrvojeÂPrcic, Editor-in-Chief of the Croatian NGM (at h.prcic@sanomamag-zagreb.hr).Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.Best regards,Maja JelisicDistribution Director/NGM Project & Marketing DirectorSANOMA Magazines ZagrebVlaska 121/II10 000 ZagrebCroatiaTel. +385-1-469-4116Fax. +385-1-5141Cell. +385-91-6000-204e-mail: m.jelisic@sanomamag-zagreb.hrÂThe Croatian NGM will not only contain translations of selected articlesÂfrom the US and other international editions of the magazine (the CroatianÂedition will be the 25th international edition of NGM) , but also originalÂcontent articles from Croatia, which will then be part of the overall NGMÂdatabase and as such will be available to any other NGM edition. In thisÂway, the Croatian NGM will also be a promoter of the Croatian culture andÂscience and the Croatian heritage overall. However, this is not the only wayÂwe will help Croatia. Namely, the National Geographic Society (NGS - theÂlargest scientific non profit organization in the world) also has researchÂfunds (so far, Croatia received 10 grants for various research projects) andÂthe local magazine will be the main catalyst of allocation of potentialÂfunds to Croatia (we already recommended and secured the grant for theÂprotection of White Griffon birds on the island of Cres).For all these reasons and much more, we have already received support fromÂvarious Ministries and Government officials, incl. Ministry of Culture,ÂScience and Technology, Education, etc.). We will start presenting NationalÂGeographic with the exhibition "National Geographic 100 Best PhotographsÂroad show" in Dubrovnik, which will be a part of the official program of theÂfamous Dubrovnik Summer Festival, pls. seeÂhttp://www.dubrovnik-festival.hr/default.asp The exhibition will then beÂrolled out nationwide: Dubrovnik-Split-Zadar-Rijeka-Zagreb-Osijek over theÂnext 6 months. letters@croatia.org (Nenad N.
