As part of the implementation of the international TEMPUS project, which is being implemented in three pilot areas in Italy and Croatia, a virtual exhibition dedicated to the history of the ports of Rijeka, Ravenna and Solin, called MYPORTHERITAGE – Restoration of the heritage of urban ports in the Adriatic Sea, is being organised and will be available at the following link http://myportheritage.eu/ as of 31 December 2020.

The exhibition will highlight the historical aspect of the development of ports, as well as their impact on their surroundings in different historical periods, so visitors will gain additional knowledge about commercial, productive and entertaining activities that marked the life of ports and the development of relations between the two Adriatic coasts. This virtual exhibition will be a good foundation for entrepreneurs who recognize the economic potential of ports and who have the opportunity to realize their entrepreneurial ideas that can be implemented in port areas, connecting past and present, with an emphasis on goods, technology, people and culture. The aim of the virtual exhibition is to enable the temporary use of space for various activities that improve the tangible and intangible port heritage.

The TEMPUS project – Temporary Applications as an Initial Action for the Improvement of Port (No) Material Heritage – brings together nine partners from Croatia and Italy with the aim of restoring abandoned urban port areas while respecting cultural heritage and community customs. The activities of the TEMPUS project focus on three pilot areas: Ravenna, Solin and the River.

The value of the project is 2.706.920,00 EUR, of which 85% refers to grants co-financed by the European Union through the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme INTERREG V-A Italy-Croatia 2014. 20-2020 The project will be implemented in the period from 1 January 2019 to the end of 2021.

The primary goal of the TEMPUS project is to test the experimental methodology of regeneration of neglected urban port areas by creating long-term strategies focused on culture and community. Thanks to integrated social activation, cultural valorisation and the involvement of interested stakeholders, TEMPUS will temporarily reactivate three pilot port areas (Ravenna, Solin, Rijeka) with the aim of launching the implementation of long-term regeneration strategies.

The goal of the TEMPUS project is to connect partner cities with their ports and create a new space of social life that will encourage creative entrepreneurship, as well as entrepreneurial initiatives in culture and tourism. In the long term, the project aims to stimulate economic development based on the valorisation of hidden tangible and intangible port heritage, including archaeological background and natural context, starting with temporary use activities.
