About ICCU
The workshop will be held at the International Center of Croatian Universities (ICCU). ICCU was founded by the University of Zagreb as a public academic institution for international scientific programes and postgraduate studies. It is situated in an old villa within the walking distance of the old town of Dubrovnik and is equipped with up to date technical devices.

During the time of aggression on Croatia and Dubrovnik, the building was shelled and totally burned down, together with its library and all the facilities. However, the institution continued its work under extremely difficult circumstances. With the great efforts of the University of Zagreb and numerous donators, the building was reconstructed and hosted various conferences, courses, seminars and workshops since 1993.
