Exploring Human Dimensions in Architectural Management 
29. September - 1. October, 2025.

The three-day workshop was designed to encourage students from four partner universities to explore architectural management within real-world organizational contexts. During the workshop, students explored organizational structures and strategic development plans for an architectural firm. Insights from architectural firms of varying sizes (50+, 20+, 5+ and up to 5 employees) were used to gain practical knowledge and experience of the managerial role in architectural practice and education. Students also assessed whether the title of architect is necessary for a person in a managerial position in an architectural firm. 

On August 21, 2025, the second meeting of the Steering Committee of the Interreg IPA project ClimBeach was held at the Mostar Hotel. All partners from the Republic of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro participated in the meeting.
