Veli Lošinj

Veli Lošinj is a small historic town located on the island of Lošinj, in the northern Adriatic Sea. Known for its colourful harbour, Mediterranean architecture and relaxed coastal atmosphere, the town has long been recognised as a destination associated with health, science and nature.

Lošinj is often referred to as the “Island of Vitality”, thanks to its exceptionally clean air, mild climate and rich marine environment. The island has a long tradition as a health resort dating back to the 19th century, when it became a popular destination for visitors seeking the therapeutic benefits of its maritime climate.

Surrounded by pine forests and crystal-clear waters, Veli Lošinj offers a peaceful setting that encourages informal discussions and scientific exchange outside the lecture hall. The close proximity between the conference venue, the town and the sea creates an environment where networking and collaboration can continue naturally throughout the event.
