The first part of LIDA 2005 will be held in Dubrovnik at Inter-University Centre (IUC)which is within the walking distance from the Old town and many hotels - IUC is just opposite the new hotel Hilton Imperial, and next to the caffe bar Sesame (when you check in to your hotel you will get detailed info on how to get to IUC from the hotel).
For the second part, the conference will move to island Mljet, less than a two-hour ride from Dubrovnik on a fast catamaran. Pre-conference workshops are planned for 30 May 2005 and post-conference workshops for 4 June 2005.

Dubrovnik , Croatia is among the unique cities in the world, recognized as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites by UNESCO. It is a walled city, preserved as it existed in medieval times. A beautiful natural location on the Adriatic Sea, a lavish architecture of squares, palaces, and churches, small, intriguing hill-hugging streets, pedestrian-only traffic within the walls, outings to the enchanting near-by islands - all these and more combine to make Dubrovnik one of the most popular destinations in Europe.

Mljet is one of the most enchanting islands in the Adriatic , a sea that abounds with beautiful islands to start with. Hotel Odisej is in a small harbor. Near the hotel is the entrance to Mljet National Park with lush vegetation surrounding three inland lakes, a small island with a monastery in the middle lake, paths for walking, and spots for swimming in the blue and green sea.
