Dubrovnik, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic", is a breathtaking coastal city in the south of Croatia, along the Dalmatian coast. Its location on the Dalmatian coast gives it access to stunning coastal landscape of rugged cliffs, hidden coves and clear blue waters. The city itself is nestled between the sea and steep limestone cliffs, creating a dramatic backdrop.  Known for its well-preserved medieval walls, picturesque Old Town, and breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is a popular tourist destination. Surrounded by the Old City walls and towers, the Old Town is Dubrovnik's main attraction. 

Thanks to its great historical significance, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the walls of Dubrovnik's Old Town you can admire many charming streets and corners, historic buildings, cathedrals, hotels, restaurants and stores. Throughout its history, Dubrovnik has always been a meeting point of different nations, cultures and religions, serving as a link between different and sometimes warring empires and civilizations. Despite its small size, Dubrovnik has managed to maintain its autonomy and economic prosperity throughout the centuries, thanks to the strategic use of diplomacy, skillful trade and sophisticated seamanship. Proof of this is the extensive cultural and historical heritage that has earned Dubrovnik the status of a world-renowned brand. Today, this power of historical heritage can be felt in every corner of this beautiful city and serves as a perfect backdrop for numerous cultural, professional and scientific events.

Venue for the next SCACR is University of Dubrovnik. The University of Dubrovnik was founded relatively recently, in 2003. However, it builds on a long tradition of higher education in Dubrovnik, dating back to the founding of the Dubrovnik Republic in the Middle Ages. Historically, Dubrovnik was home to one of the oldest European universities, the Dubrovnik Gymnasium, which was founded in 1667. The college offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various disciplines, including humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering and marine science. 

Notable faculties at the University of Dubrovnik include the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Maritime Studies. As Dubrovnik is historically closely linked to maritime trade and shipping, the University of Dubrovnik places a special emphasis on maritime studies. The Faculty of Maritime Studies offers study programs in the fields of marine engineering, nautical science, maritime transport and related areas. This focus reflects the importance of the maritime industry for the region's economy and cultural heritage. The University of Dubrovnik is actively involved in international cooperation and partnerships with universities and institutions around the world. This includes student and faculty exchanges, joint research projects and participation in international academic networks and associations. Such collaborations enrich the college's academic offerings and promote intercultural exchange and understanding.

The University of Dubrovnik offers a vibrant and dynamic environment for student life. In addition to academic activities, students have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, student organisations and cultural events. The college campus offers modern facilities, libraries, laboratories and recreational facilities that support students' academic and personal development.
