On the 5th and 6th June 2019, nine partners from Italy and Croatia have gathered in Ravenna on the kick-off meeting of the TEMPUS project – Temporary USes as start-up actions to enhance port (in)tangible heritage, which has received funding from the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme INTERREG V-A Italy – Croatia.
During the kick-off meeting Project Team Members have discussed and agreed on internal transnational structures and procedures to be adopted for the activities implementation. The project startup will be coordinated by the Lead Partner (ITC-CNR), with the support of all partners’ local Project and Finance Managers participating in to this first meeting.

The TEMPUS project aims at testing an experimental methodology for the urban regeneration of dismissed urban port areas, based on the co-creation of long-term, heritage-driven and community-led urban strategies. Thanks to deep social activation, cultural valorization and stakeholders’ engagement, TEMPUS will activate temporary (re)uses within three pilot port areas (Ravenna, Solin, Rijeka), intended as trigger actions for the implementation of longer-term regeneration strategies.
The Consortium is made of 9 partners: Institute for Construction Technologies – National Research Council of Italy acting as a Lead Partner, C.N.A. National confederation of handcrafts and of SMEs – Territorial association of Ravenna, Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, CERTIMAC – Building materials certification all from Italy; and Rijeka development agency Porin Ltd., Public Institution RERASD, City of Solin, Maritime and History museum of the Croatian littoral Rijeka, City of Rijeka all from Croatia.
