The city of Dubrovnik is a beautiful city with a thousand years of culture, naval and trade history. The Inter-University Centre will provide convenient facilities for our work together. Those who have attended past meetings there have pleasant memories of the surroundings as well as the stimulating intellectual exchange that took place. The weather in Dubrovnik is usually mild and pleasant in this time of the year.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that Dubrovnik has become a tourist's hit, and a change in the hotel management, this time we are not able to arrange that all participants be accommodate at the same hotel.
