These activities concern the organisation of two exhibitions in the pilot cities of Ravenna and Solin; complete the process of launching a public call for ideas related to port heritage in Ravenna and Solin; based on the first two exhibitions, organize a third virtual exhibition that will be placed on the TEMPUS Portal; complete entrepreneurial ecosystem strategies in pilots Rijeka, Ravenna and Solin; develop a guide for developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem strategy; prepare a report on capacity building per pilot city; organise five meetings of Perspective Forums in pilot cities; develop a guide for the establishment of local management groups to monitor the situation after the end of the project and the appointment of such groups.
The TEMPUS project aims to regenerate abandoned urban port areas, respecting cultural heritage and community customs. In this sense, TEMPUS implements an integrated set of temporary use activities (TUA), focused on the idea of city ports as a mixed tradition, history, activities, architecture and culture. The activities of the project pass through the past and present of the port of Rijeka, highlighting the tangible and intangible heritage that wants to be highlighted by entrepreneurial ideas based on innovative solutions for improving a certain aspect of services or products for additional development in the area of the port of Rijeka.
