Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts

The Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts (Montenegrin and Serbian: Dukljanska akademija nauka i umjetnosti, DANU / Дукљанска академија наука и уметности, ДАНУ; Latin Academia Dioclitiana Scientiarum et Artium) is a parallel scholars' academy in Montenegro. It is named after the medieval state of Duklja, a historical predecessor to modern Montenegrin state. DANU is one of two established academies in the country, other being the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU).

The academy was created in 1998 by scholars who considered CANU to be dominantly influenced by Serbian nationalism and essentially a branch of SANU, and wanted to establish an independent Montenegrin academy instead.

DANU grants the following awards: In 2015 DANU reportedly merged into the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts.
 * Saint Vladimir of Duklja Award – awarded biannually 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 Montenegrin sciences and arts
