The University of Dubrovnik (Croatian: Sveučilište u Dubrovniku) is a public university located in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It has its roots in various successive institutions dedicated to the teaching of maritime engineering and naval architecture. In 1996, in recognition of the city’s maritime traditions, the Polytechnic was established and was later given full university status in 2003. The university has since diversified its courses but the maritime sciences remains its traditional strength.

University of Dubrovnik (UNIDU) is leading the work  on the system’s demonstration and feasibility tests at the three demo and three pilot sites, including Dubrovnik (HR),  and the design and development of  a surface litter collection and towing system. UNIDO is also working on active exploration for litter detection, and the redesign and verification of the UAV, USV and ROV control systems.
