About IUC

INTER-UNIVERSITY CENTER MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik (IUC) is an independent international institution for advanced studies.

 

Its objective is to encourage, promote and implement cooperation among students and scholars through projects, study programmes, courses and conferences across a wide range of academic concerns.

 

Participants come from universities and other scientific institutions worldwide.

 

Founded in 1971, at the height of the Cold War, the IUC became an important venue for the exchange of ideas across various divides, between East and West, North and South.

 

Based in Dubrovnik, formerly a self-governing Mediterranean city-state at the crossroads of varying cultural and political concerns, the IUC is building on its achievements and traditions in facing new challenges in a rapidly changing global environment.

 

Maintaining high standards of free and independent scholarship, the IUC is dedicated to network building for peaceful co-existence and pluralism regionally as well as internationally.

 

Over the years, more than 65,000 scholars and students have contributed to the work of the IUC.
