Sažetak
Its location at the Mediterranean Sea, the welcome character of its landscape and people, and over 2000 years of
its rich history make Croatia one of the most privileged
countries in Europe. Croatia is also the home of a special
academic jewel: the Inter-University Centre (IUC) in Dubrovnik. The IUC is an independent university center established by a network of international universities with an
aim to promote academic cooperation. It was founded in
1972 by 30 universities under the leadership of Ivan Supek,
an outstanding physicist, survivor of a Gestapo prison, and
later dean of the University of Zagreb. Two founding directors – Orjar Oyen, professor in sociology at University Bergen and Peter Fischer-Appelt, president of the University
of Hamburg – have remained cordially associated to the
IUC. The building where the center is located, former Don
Frane Bulić high school, was donated by the City of Dubrovnik
