From the very beginning, the »Podravina« was conceived as an international scientific journal for the entire area of the Drava river basin – from the Dolomites to the Danube. This is why both its publishing board and its editorial board consist of scientists from Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia and Austria. All of them have greatly contributed to the development and quality of the journal, while Koprivnica has become their place of gathering. Still, the greatest number of published papers are related to the upper Croatian Podravina. The journal »Podravina« has so far established a large number of young researchers and scientists from this area, which is one of our main tasks. The journal was established with the goal to assist in founding the higher education in Koprivnica, so that in time it could become a university edition. Owing to circumstances, this has been made possible, so the University North in Koprivnica has been the co-publisher of the »Podravina« for the last three years in a row. Even earlier, the agile Historical Society Koprivnica, gathering a large number of associates of the »Podravina«, joined as a co-publisher of the journal. This cooperation, with the support of the Ministry of Science, provides the journal with certainty and continuity in publishing.
