Summary/Abstract: As 2021 saw the Mathematical Institute SASA mark not only 75 years since its foundation, but also the adoption of its first plan for achieving and improving gender equality, this paper investigates the issue of gender equality based on the analysis of the content of archival materials, primarily those found in the Institute’s archives, relating to the structure and existence of possible gender inequalities in the first years of the Institute’s operation. In chronological terms, the paper covers the period from 1946, when the Institute was established within the Serbian Academy of Sciences (SAS), to 1961, when it was separated from SAS and became completely independent. The paper is conceived as the first phase of broader research on the historical context on which the current gender structure and relations at the Mathematical Institute are based, which would provide useful data and conclusions for achieving and improving the current Gender Equality Plan.
