ABOUT THE IUC The Inter University Centre Dubrovnik is an independent centre for advanced study,

grounded in its international network of partner universities. Building upon its location and

its history, the IUC Dubrovnik serves as a bridge between regions within Europe and

between the European region and the world by connecting scientific communities and

connecting communities through science.

Today, 47 years after its start in 1972, the Inter University Centre Dubrovnik prospers. It is a

lively meeting place for advanced study, where students, lecturers and researchers from a

large variety of countries, continents and disciplines meet. Over the last few years, the

number of courses, conferences and participants has been growing. Annually the IUC hosts

around 60 courses and 10 conferences with a total number of around 2000 participants.

Since its foundation the main practice of the IUC was and is the organisation of different

sorts of courses and conferences within the broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Each

course and conference is provided by scientific staff from multiple countries. In doing so, the

IUC Dubrovnik takes pride in bringing together scholars and students from different

countries, cultures and academic disciplines to advanced research and higher education

programmes. In its activities, the IUC Dubrovnik maintains high standards of scientific

quality, and provides an open space for critical thinking and innovation.

For the future, the IUC emphasizes and supports attention for inter-disciplinary and cross-

national collaboration on global challenges such as human universal values and rights,

health, education, poverty and climate, encouraging, in addition to east-west collaboration

also new north-south initiatives. The IUC Dubrovnik also stimulates the development of

research activities, in particular related to the courses and conferences within the programme

and contributes to connecting leading international partner universities to regional academic

institutions.

From the academic year 2018-2019 on, the IUC starts diversifying its activities in three

directions. First, the IUC started to facilitate the hosting of individual researchers and

research groups. Secondly, on the basis of its network of universities the IUC contributes to

the internationalisation of education and research in the region. Thirdly the IUC will

stimulate and co-organize research and educational initiatives in the context of the IUC

research-program.

ACKNOWGLEDGEMENT

We are grateful to all that are supporting Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik. University of Zagreb is securing the logistical infrastructure while member institutions support the operation with membership fees. Croatian Ministry of Science and Education has been offering the support for operation and scholarships, while many other foundations such as German DAAD support participants of IUC programmes. Support has been received from many foreign Embassies in Croatia, such as American, British, Swiss, Dutch, Norwegian and Indian Embassies. Special thanks also go to OSF, London. Finally, thanks are expressed to all course directors and home institutions of participants for securing means for the IUC programmes.

Support, Scholarships & Credit Points The Croatian Ministry of Science and Education provided students and professors from Croatian academic and scientific institutions with four scholarships per course, which covered travel expenses and half board accommodation. The continuation of this support is expected. Appli-cations may be submitted by course directors or interested candidates directly to the IUC Secre-tariat. For eligibility criteria and application form visit http://iuc.hr/croatian-ministry.php.

Furthermore, national funding institutions and foundations often prove scholarships or grants for postgraduate courses, e.g. DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) offering scholar-ships for IUC courses - http://daad.de/stipends. Students from Austria have to look on www.grants.at.

Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik offers sup-port for PhD candidates coming from SE and E Europe and N of Africa, participating in courses from humanities and social sciences. For eligi-bility criteria and more information visit http://www.iuc.hr/iuc-support.php.

Course and conference participants should ap-proach the academic exchanges service at their home universities for further inquiries.

A certificate of attendance is awarded to each student who attends a full course and satisfacto-rily completes tasks established by course direc-tors. Course directors secure the recognition of ECTS points at home universities. The decision on number of ECTS points is made in accord-ance with the university and the respective grad-uate and research training programme. ECTS points will be measured by the necessary work-load of the student to achieve defined learning outcomes and competences. The workload in-cludes time the student needs for lectures, semi-nars, independent work, reading, learning, writ-ing a paper and presenting a paper and/or exam.

Facilities

Lecture Hall (up to 110 seats) ● 3 large classrooms (up to 50 seats) ● 7 medium classrooms (up to 30 seats) ● Tele conferencing classroom (24 seats) ● Computer/internet room (12 PCs), wireless LAN and printer ● Cabinets ● Projectors ● Air condition and heating ● Large courtyard ● Cafeteria ● Dormi-tory in the attic of the building (56 beds).

Foundation & History

The Inter-University Centre has lived a rich life so far and has taken great pride in contributing to international scholarly cooperation. The centre is all set to continue its mission.

The idea to establish the Inter-University Centre (IUC) was launched in 1970 at the meeting of the International Association of Universities, in Montreal, by Prof. Ivan Supek, at that time Rector of the University of Zagreb. He suggested building an institution fully in the hands of the cooperating scholars and universities, free of government control. The official inauguration took place in 1972.

The IUC was set as a consortium of universities and other scientific institutions. These universities are represented on IUC's Council and contribute toward the development of the IUC academic programmes.

Dubrovnik was chosen as the seat of the IUC because of its rich history as an independent city-state, prospering in the difficult position between East and West, between different religions and cultures. The city of Dubrovnik offered a building that could serve as a home for the international centre envisioned by Prof. Supek.

From the very beginning, the IUC responded to contemporary needs. In the period of the Cold War, concerned scholars saw the importance of creating new opportunities for contact and exchange of knowledge and ideas across division lines. There was a wish to strengthen the role of scientists in bridge building between nations and cultures, ideologies and political systems. The former Yugoslavia, as a non-aligned country, had the potential to provide conditions for contacts that could not otherwise be achieved and IUC served as a breathing-hole between East and West.

The Centre could not have been established without the generosity of the University of Zagreb, while vice versa IUC has given much in return by connecting young scholars from Croatia and the region to active international networks of scholars.

The Inter-University Centre soon became a place for vibrant academic exchange. It grew to more than 250 member institutions before the outbreak of the wars in 1991, in which former Yugoslavia fell apart. Following the wars, the number of member universities has declined to approximately 170 but the IUC continued with its mission to bring together members of the academic community from the region. The support of Open Society Foundation greatly helped offering scholarships to PhD candidates from former communist countries of the SE and E European region.

Today, the level of programme activities in courses and conferences remains as high as ever and IUC governing bodies are supporting inter-disciplinary and cross-national collaboration on global challenges. Scholars, students and teachers keep coming, and they are usually eager to come back to Dubrovnik for new IUC events.

How to organise an IUC programme?

The IUC is open to new entries. The IUC course or conference must be international (organised by at least two professors from two different countries, while lecturers and preferably students should be from at least three different countries) and at the advanced academic level (graduate, postgradu-ate or post-doc). Organising course and conference directors contact the IUC Secretariat to check the availability of space for a specific date. It is advisable to be flexible with dates, if it is possible. Courses should have minimum 10, maximum 50 participants. This does not apply for conferences. Course organisers and participants are required to cover participation fees. Organisers coming from paying IUC member universities have a significant discount. It is also advisable to secure the academic points to participants at home universities. Applications for the next academic year with detailed course and conference information are submitted in spring and approved by the IUC Ex-ecutive Committee. For more information, please check the column „New programmes“ on: http://www.iuc.hr/programme.php.
