The SDEWES centre has a temporary seat at the University of Zagreb.

The first Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems was organised by the University of Zagreb in cooperation with the Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon) in 2002. The conference was partly financed by the European Commission. Since then, four more successful conferences have been organized in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009. The SDEWES conferences, their side events and special sessions are becoming important events for the gathering of sustainability students, researchers and project leaders from the region and the entire World.
