The participants will arrive on Thursday 13 October. They will be accommodated in two different three-star hotels in Dubrovnik, both close to the Postgraduate Center of the University of Zagreb where the Convention will take place.

The first day of the convention will be devoted to the question of diversification of universities on global, regional and national levels. We have invited prominent speakers for this session, including NN1 and NN2. You are invited to take active part in the panels and discussions.

On the second day of the convention, every UNESCO Chair will give a presentation of no more than 5 minutes, summarizing the past, present and future activities of the Chair. This should provide with a level of acquaintance sufficient for exploring the possibilities of joint projects on different levels in the discussions. There will be six short presentation in each of the four sessions.

After the presentations, discussions and a joint dinner, in two morning sessions of the third day, the Chairs will have an opportunity to present and discuss ideas for future joint projects and activities.
