Greetings on the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of IUC in 2012

As an established promoter of the Croatian and world science, the Inter-University Centre Dubrov-

nik, during its forty years of activity, confirmed its status as a unique international institution of

higher education and science in the Republic of Croatia; an institution open for meetings, ex-

change of ideas and research results as well as for the cooperation of scientists in all scientific

areas all over the world.

Prof. Ivo Josipovic - President of the Republic of Croatia

In the inspiring ambience of the historical town of Dubrovnik participants from different parts of

the Globe contribute to building a world of understanding and tolerance. IUC organisation, mis-

sion and achievements vouch for the Centre’s long future.

Prof. Krunoslav Pisk, IUC Director General

Through courses, through intensive connections with numerous universities, research institutions

and academies, through international workshops and conferences Inter-University Centre contri-

butes toward realizing a society emphasizing and increasing human and social capitals - a global

society of individual human beings, of sovereign states and of variety of social structures aimed at

increasing life satisfaction and welfare of all human beings.

Academician Ivo Šlaus, Vice Chair of the IUC Council

IUC Mission

The Inter-University Centre (IUC) Dubrovnik is an independent, international institute for

advanced studies. Its mission is to foster progress in the humanities, social sciences, natural

sciences, maths and medicine by encouraging and promoting international cooperation among

researchers and students. It pursues this mission primarily by organising and hosting conferences,

courses, and study programmes, and by building regional and global networks for academic

exchange. It seeks to promote scientific excellence and independent scholarship in an atmosphere

of pluralism and peaceful coexistence. The IUC draws inspiration from the historical place of

Dubrovnik as a self-governing city-state and meeting point at the crossroads of cultural and

political concerns.

Founded in 1972, the IUC became an important venue for the exchange of ideas across east and

west, north and south, helping to overcome blocs and promoting understanding. Today, the IUC

builds on its traditions and achievements in the changed global environment. Since its foundation,

more than 70,000 scholars and students have come to the IUC from universities and other acade-

mic institutions across the world.

Topics of particular attention in IUC conferences and courses include: Southeast Europe studies,

Mediterranean studies, regions and regionalism, conflict and peace, human rights and legal studies,

philosophy, information sciences, life sciences, and public health.

Support, Scholarships & Credit Points

The IUC is unfortunately not in a position to provide any scholarships, since there are no financial

means available to set up appropriate grant programmes, but there are two IUC related funds

offering support especially for IUC courses:

● The Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports provides graduate students and

professors from Croatia with four scholarships per course which cover travel expenses and half

board accommodation. Applications may be submitted by course directors or interested candidates

directly to the IUC Secretariat. For application form visit http://iuc.hr/croatian-ministry.php.

● The Open Society Institute is supporting advanced students and young faculty members

studying and working in the fields of humanities and social sciences from Southeast Europe and

the Former Soviet Union region at IUC courses with scholarships (accommodation and in some

cases partial travel compensation). For information visit http://iuc.hr/hesp-osi.php.

Furthermore, preferential attention should be paid to national funding institutions and foundations

often providing scholarships or grants for postgraduate courses, e.g. DAAD (German Academic

Exchange Service) offers stipends and support of new courses. For information visit

http://daad.de/stipends. Official Austrian grants database can be found at www.grants.at.

Course and conference participants are kindly requested to approach their course directors,

the academic exchanges service at their home universities and of course the internet for further

inquiries.

A certificate is awarded to each student who attends a full course and satisfactorily completes a

written contribution in the field of study for the course. Course directors decide in accordance with

the university and the respective graduate and research training program, how many ECTS points

are awarded. ECTS points will be measured by the necessary workload of the student to achieve

defined learning outcomes and competences. The workload includes time the student needs for

lectures, seminars, independent work, reading, learning, writing papers and exam.

IUC 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 room (12 PCs) with internet

connection, wireless LAN and printer ● Cabinets ● Projectors ● Air condition and

heating ● Large courtyard

Foundation & History

The Inter-University Centre has lived a rich life so far and has taken great pride in serving as a

venue for scholarly cooperation. It is all set to continue its mission.

The idea of the IUC developed in response to urgent affairs; there was a cold war going on.

Concerned scholars saw the importance of creating new opportunities for contact and exchange of

knowledge and ideas across division lines. Would it be possible to create strong arenas where

scholars from various parts of the world could meet to pursue important scientific issues in a

diplomatic and peace-generating way? There was a wish to strengthen the role of scientists in

bridge-building between nations and cultures, ideologies and political systems, rather than

continuing the troublesome schisms that the world had become so used to over the decades

following World War II.

Plans for a United Nations University were being discussed in the late 1960’s. In a meeting of

university leaders in Montreal in 1970, the Rector of the University of Zagreb at that time, Ivan

Supek, proposed an alternative or a supplement that won wide support. He suggested to build an

Inter-University Centre that is fully in the hands of the cooperating scholars and universities

themselves – an institution free of government control. Luckily, the city of Dubrovnik had offered

Supek a building that could serve as a home for the kind of international centre he envisioned.

It must be remembered that Yugoslavia held a unique position at the time; Yugoslavia under Tito

was non-aligned. It had the potential to provide conditions for contacts that could not otherwise be

achieved. Dubrovnik, with its rich history, culture, its beauty and friendly atmosphere, certainly

appeared as an ideal site, and an Inter-University Centre located here could also serve as a

breathing-hole between East and West. For example, scholars from Eastern Europe were allowed

to travel to Dubrovnik, whilst to a large extent countries in the West were beyond reach. So, a

small group of individuals representing a handful of universities internationally were invited to

come to Dubrovnik to consider Supek’s idea.

The decision was made: The Inter-University Centre was to become reality, and work was started

to establish a viable organization and a sound basis for effective operation.

The centre could not have been established and could not have entered into its successful life, had

it not been for the generosity extended to it by the University of Zagreb. While the IUC has

benefited from the generosity of the University of Zagreb, it has given much in return by

connecting young scholars from Croatia and its broader region to active and generous international

networks of scholars.

The Inter-University Centre soon became a very attractive venue for academic exchange. From the

few universities represented by the founders, the number of universities formally associated with

the IUC grew to more than 250 before the outbreak of the wars in 1991. Following the wars the

number of member universities has declined to approximately 170. Now the level of programme

activities in courses and conferences remains as high as ever, and IUC Dubrovnik in competition

with other actors on the international scholarly arena provides a whole series of extensive

programmes to promote study abroad and to globalize higher education. Scholars, students and

teachers keep coming; they are happy to be in Dubrovnik and they are usually eager to come back

for new IUC events.
