CSCM 2023
The 2023 CSCM World Congress was held in Dubrovnik, Croatia 23-27 October 2023
The whole Dubrovnik region is well-known for its fascinating landscapes, abundant Mediterranean vegetation, mild climate, and interesting smaller settlements. In former times, it became part of the Dubrovnik Republic territory, becoming connected with the city via historical, economic, and trade route ties. The historical core of the city of Dubrovnik as a whole was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1978. Furthermore, there are 1436 protected historical buildings, churches, monasteries, and other sacred buildings and complexes, old fortifications and city walls, necropolises, studied and yet unstudied archaeological finds, old bridges, and summer residences.
The 2023 CSCM World Congress was held at Hotel Croatia shown above. Situated across the bay from the historic walls of Dubrovnik, Hotel Croatia is a leading five-star resort and conference hotel on the southern part of the Adriatic Sea. Hotel Croatia’s architecture blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Shaded by a pine tree forest, while offering spectacular sea views, all 487 rooms feature balconies, which overlook the Adriatic sea or Cavtat Bay. State-of-the-art facilities include numerous gourmet restaurants, a spa center, and two beaches. Hotel Croatia is ideal for a broader experience of the Dubrovnik Riviera. Suited for business and relaxation alike, the Hotel Croatia serves as an excellent base for exploring the city of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik Riviera.
The 2023 CSCM World Congress was held under the auspices of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. In addition, we enjoyed the active participation of the RACVIAC Center for Security Cooperation throughout the organization of the Congress as well as many other international and national organizations.
