["ITHR0200253","3E-innovation of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture: research-based and piloted Electric-engine refitting of fishing vessels to enhance Environmental and Economic Adriatic Blue Growth","Fisheries and Aquaculture, among the most popular activities in coastal regions of the world, play a pivotal role in the Blue Economy of the cross-border Adriatic region between Italy and Croatia. Second only to the Tourism and Transport sectors, and inter-connected with the Port Activities, shipbuilding and repair sector, Small Scale Fishery and AQuaculture (SSF-AQ) suffers for low performances in terms of public-private collaboration, applied research, and technological transfer. Many efforts have been done thanks to the 2014-2020 and previous programs, including INTERREG IT-HR, especially in smart solutions, digitalization, networking, but the core of the sector suffers from a lack of innovation and modernization of the fishing fleet that remain untouched.\nThe fishing fleet in the first years of the last programming period wa 12,000 boats for a total of 984,788 kW engine power installed. All engines were diesel and over 80% of vessels more than 10-15 years old. The innovation status of the fleet is now even worst because of the combined economic effects of the pandemic crisis, Ukrainian war, and climate change.\nSMEs represent the backbone of the SSF-AQ economy for both countries and are the most affected by the current crisis. Despite the innovation in terms of smart solution, the combination of the increased fuel cost caused by the current energy and war crisis, and the climate change impact on the fish stocks have a tremendous impact in the short- and long-term sustainability of the whole sector.\nThe Adriatic Sea is a semi-closed basin and is an extremely productive area for fisheries and farming, due to the strong outflow of nutrients from rivers and the periodic mixing of nutrients from the Mediterranean. But the climate change causes harmful impact on biodiversity and in the survival of species and livestock, including trans-boundary fish stock movements, anthropogenic stress strengthening overfishing, pollution, aquatic infections. Furthermore, the increase in fuel prices has greatly affected fishers’ and farmers’ costs and consequently there has been an increase in the prices of fishery and aquaculture products. Nevertheless, increase in product prices can not compensate the energy cost and cannot ensure survival of fishers, farmers and their families, less alone profitability of the sector. \nIn this context, an innovative solution of electric-powered vessels that can reduce fuel consumption, noise and emissions at sea is desirable to mitigate negative economic and social effects on SSF and AQ and to financially support the sector. Funds like EMFAF should finance the fleet renovation and assure a multiplier effect, but there is still a lack of confidence and a need for the best research/knowledge transfer from the research sector to micro- and SMEs, testing and demonstrating the feasibility in real operative conditions. More, despite the technical feasibility, the innovation needs to act in parallel with a smart SSF-AQ and innovation approach managed in pair with a robust financing scheme.\nFor this reason, we conceived 3EFISHING to develop and transfer innovation from Research to fishers, farmers, SMEs and Producers to achieve the sector's sustainability based on 3 E-innovation steps: (1) new vessels’ propulsion with Electric-engine that (2) increases Environmental quality with carbon footprint reduction and (3) Economic sustainability of SMEs by financial/investment skilling of SS-AQ agents. In this way 3EFISHING will implement the transboundary Green Deal of the Adriatic SSF-AQ fleet by refitting two <12mt pilot vessels with hybrid engines and allowing the use of renewable energy-sources, to achieve quick reduction of fuel costs, long term economic and environmental sustainability and more robust social security for fishers, farmers and their families. 3EFISHING will develop, design and implement activities, including re-skilled fishers and farmers, to be strategic for the Blue Economy in the area by tackling the major and common territorial challenges to make the Adriatic SSF-AQ production systems economically and environmentally resilient in the highly-stressed, floating and risky scenario of the sector. The project will be implemented thanks to two R&D institutions that will transfer innovation in the key-sectors of engineering, fishery/aquaculture low carbon solutions, economy, with the support of two Ministry-level bodies, the HR Ministry of Agriculture (dealing with fishery policies in Croatia) and ISMEA, newcomer in the IT-HR programme, the national institute in charge of financial support schemes for fisher and farmer entrepreneurs in Italy. Two territorial institutions from Marche IT and Zadar HR will involve the target groups of their regions, while the most important HR aquaculture company CROMARIS will directly apply and test the innovation. An international association complete partnership dealing with agents' involvement and EUSAIR support in a quadruple helix approach.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_1) Sustainable growth in the blue economy","RSO1.1.

LP1 together with PP2, PP4 and PP5 acquired, harmonized and integrated non-public data and information on Croatian and Italian fleet presented in the Report; QM PP2 approved the D3.1.1. To achieve the D.3.1.2, LP1 coordinated with other PPs involved (PP2, PP4 and PP5) to select the areas and fishers / fish farmers that will fill the diaries and to prepare the structure and variables to be collected with the diaries. PP2, PP4 and PP5 started the engagement of Italian and Croatian SSF and AQ agents for data collection that started in PR2 until PR3 (at this moment, 33 SSF vessels and 10 AQ farmers were engaged).\nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY\nOverall, in PR3 the management and communication project activities of 3EFISHING were in-time addressed and completed. Sixty-four (64) new targets and more than 35,000 General and fishery-interested Public were reached by 3 events and social media/webpage interactions. The technical Activity 3.2 scheduled to end in the PR3 was completed. The activities 1.2 (to be completed in PR3), 3.2 and 3.3 (to be completed in PR4 and PR5, respectively) advanced. Critical delay and/or stop in starting and advancing were faced by the Activities 1.3 and 1.4 (to be completed in PR3) and 2.2 (to be completed in PR4). Three key-deliverables (D1.2.1, D1.2.2 and D3.1.2) were achieved, being chosen that the former two reports finalized for the general part and the specific part concerning only one vessel (see below the detailed description).\nLP1 and PMU-MT focussed the critical constraints of completing the Act. 1.3 and accordingly identified the need to implement major project modifications (budget shift from PP3 to PP8; extension of the project duration) to achieve the project goals.\n\nMain achievements of 3EFISHING in the PR3 (01/03/2025 – 31/08/2025) are\nMANAGEMENT\n- all PPs completed the mandatory management and financial commitments, including the PR3 Partner Reports - 6 certified, 2 under control and certification;\n- PMU+MT 5th meeting was organized to coordinate properly the management, communication and technical activities;\n- an Extraordinary Steering Committee Meeting was organized on 1st August 2025 online; the meeting was attended in presence by all PPs representatives to present and discuss the constraints faced in WP1 Act. 1.3 and their impacts on the project progresses and final goals;\n- PP2 as QM monitored the progress of project activities and provided support to LP1 and verified the deliverables before submission;\n- LP1, PP2 and PP3 reached Targets and General Public by attending workshops, fairs and bilateral meetings and by activities on the 3EFISHING social media profile and web site.\n\nCOMMUNICATION\n- 3 events (an EU workshop, a regional fair and a project meetings) were organised and/or attended by PPs in which 3EFISHING WPs’ and key-features and advances were presented (see attached file in A1.5);\n- 64 TGs were reached by the effective and active participation of 3EFISHING PPs to non-mandatory communication activities (see attached file in A1.5); overall in the period PR1-PR3, the project reached 139 targets and 39,461 General public and fishery-interested public EU citizens reached by social media interactions and webpage visits.\n\nTECHNICAL WPs\nSix technical/scientific deliverables were expected in the PR3 (two delayed from PR2: D1.2.1 and D1.2.2 and four on PR3: D1.3.1, D1.3.2, D1.4.1 and D3.1.2). Three of them were delivered: the D1.2.1 - Report on risk analysis and D1.2.2 - Certification feasibility study were delivered not in a complete version because the constraint faced in A1.3 prevent the completion of these deliverables; the D3.1.2 Report on conducted analysis among SSF and AQ agents' behaviour was delivered in a complete version. The remaining three deliverables (D1.3.1 On-board Prototype, D1.3.2 Report on simulations and testing of the E-powered propulsion system, and D1.4.1 Communication toolkit of the stakeholders' awareness-raising and sensibilization campaign) were not delivered at all because are related to activities 1.3 and 1.4 which underwent critical constraints.\nWP1 –PP3 and PP8 completed the A1.2 and delivered the D1.2.1 and D1.2.2, analysing both the technical, economic, environmental, and operational aspects and associated risks of the retrofit and the certification-related activities for replacing the existing conventional propulsion system with a hybrid propulsion system.  Both targets were analysed at the general level and a specific level addressed to the PP3 vessel m/n Calafuria 30 Fly. Unfortunately, this vessel is not suitable for the implementation of e-propulsion system. Therefore, we decided to avoid to include specific parts for the PP8 vessel and PP8 is reviewing and adapting them to the specific conditions and requirements of both vessels, namely the formerly defined Catamaran and a second polyvalent fishing vessel that will replace the PP3 vessel Calafuria within the project) to ensure compliance with industry standards and to minimize operational risks.

["ITHR0200411","Innovative and sustainable tourism offer for equal access and social inclusion of people with dementia and cognitive decline to tourist destinations in the Adriatic sea","Culture and tourism play an important role for the territory’s economy and labour market although the sector is heavily characterized by the seasonality of touristic flows mainly affecting those regions that are economically over-dependent on the tourism industry. \nOne of the main challenges for the area is represented by the diversification of touristic flows aimed at ensuring equal access to tourist destinations and cultural heritage for persons with disability, elderly people and retired, unemployed and low-income population, younger generation. \nConsidering the available data, Italy is the second European country with the highest prevalence of dementia (more than 1 million people), while in Croatia approximately 100.000 people suffer from this disease.\nBesides this data, 60% of dementia caregivers report high stress levels associated with the care of a demented family member, with an estimated 40% experiencing clinical depression. \nImproving the accessible tourism offer will respond directly to this need for “normality\", strengthening the social inclusion of the groups involved.\nThe overall objective of ADRINCLUSIVE is therefore fostering innovative, sustainable, and inclusive tourism offers in the Adriatic area for people with dementia and cognitive decline by enhancing innovation and technology transfer to create new, tailored services and solutions for accessible tourism, establishing a network of tourist & welfare institutions for promoting inclusive cross-border tourism activities capable of generating social inclusion while fostering diversification of touristic flows.\nThe diversification and de-seasonalisation of tourist flows will not only increase the sustainability of the tourism sector, extending the touristic season, but will also improve accessibility to culture and foster the development of stable business and jobs in the field.\n\nThe project will implement a set of structured activities based on transnational and cooperative approach and will produce 2 main outputs:\n\n> ADRINCLUSIVE strategy (O\n\n1.1): In WP1, all PPs will develop a joint strategy based on the assessment of the specific TGs needs and best practices in the inclusive tourism field, investigating also on tourism and welfare operators’ gaps in terms of essential competencies for providing accessible and inclusive tourism offers. Key activities such as cross-border roundtables with key stakeholders from the tourist and welfare sector, local work session with key expert and a cross-border open call for innovative services, tools and technologies for inclusive tourism ecosystem will lay the ground for the definition of the Strategy. The strategy will lead to the capacity building activities aimed at upskilling tourist and welfare operators’ competences. 5 highly practical training courses will be implemented at local level. The methodology used for the training activities and the developed contents jointly identified by the partners will fall within the ADRINCLUSIVE Training Manual. An overall quality evaluation on outputs and impact of the implemented courses will be performed at each PP level and will lead to the definition of a Strategic Training Plan for inclusive tourist offer. The two strategic documents will be combined in the Training Package.\n\n> Pilot actions (O\n\n3.1): all PPs will define joint pilot actions (5 in total) in the form of a tailored, innovative and sustainable vacation for people with dementia and cognitive decline and their caregivers. PPs will organize Pilot Site Visits and dedicated Pilot Dissemination Events to present the tested solutions. \nThis activity will lead to the creation of a Replication Package that will be shared with key actors and relevant stakeholders in the tourism and welfare sectors for capitalization purposes.\n\nThe cross-border cooperation approach at the basis of the project will be strategic for developing an Adriatic inclusive tourism network as it will lead to a new model of sustainable and innovative tourism for people with dementia and cognitive decline, a result that can only be achieved if existing practices, operational and technological solutions as well as different expertise merge together and produce a capitalization effect. Standing-alone initiatives and offers at a national, regional and local level wouldn’t in fact be able to effectively tackle the complexity of this goal, that requires a multi-level and multi-disciplinary approach to be addressed. \n\nFinally, ADRINCLUSIVE main element of innovation is represented by its approach to inclusive tourism, based on cross-sectorality between tourism and welfare sectors and the cross-border dimension to tackle common challenges in the Adriatic region through the identification of innovative solutions, development of digital tools and application of new technologies to provide new strategies and models for tourism accessibility of people with dementia and cognitive decline in the Programme area.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

Through coordinated efforts, led by WP1 leader PP6, and extensive cross-border collaboration, the project partners and associated partners actively engaged in the development of deliverables that address the unique needs of individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia (A&D). This involved identifying stakeholders, collecting qualitative data from tourism and welfare operators, pinpointing best practices, and gathering vital information specific to each partner’s territory. Together, these efforts contributed valuable insights toward building a cohesive, cross-border strategy.\n\nThree key deliverables completed in Period 1 form essential building blocks for the ADRINCLUSIVE Strategy, which aims to bridge tourism and welfare sectors for inclusive, sustainable tourism. These deliverables represent the first comprehensive data-driven and stakeholder-informed resources for inclusive tourism in the Programme area. By drawing on sectoral knowledge and aligning shared objectives, the deliverables provide a solid theoretical and practical foundation that will guide the project toward its objective: to establish a model of dementia-friendly tourism for the Adriatic region, which can later serve as a replicable model across Europe.\n\nWith PP6’s guidance, each partner contributed expertise and local knowledge essential to deliverable development. PP6 oversaw the mapping of stakeholders, initiated surveys, and facilitated a robust network involving caregivers, NGOs, and tourism professionals. Technical partners, such as PP3 and PP5, brought invaluable perspectives on the Italian landscape and helped integrate practical insights from local institutions, Alzheimer’s associations, and tourism operators, effectively translating these insights into actionable guidance.\n\nA key milestone of ADRINCLUSIVE has been the creation of Europe’s first comprehensive guide on organizing vacations for people with dementia. This pioneering document outlines crucial steps before, during, and after travel to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for dementia-affected individuals and their families. Its development marks a breakthrough, considering the scarcity of official data and resources on inclusive tourism for dementia patients. The guide’s innovative approach, grounded in real-world experiences, positions the ADRINCLUSIVE project as a leader in inclusive tourism, not only within the Programme area but also at a European level.\nThe value of cross-border cooperation has been evident at every project stage. Partner collaboration across Italy and Croatia enabled an exchange of unique local knowledge, as well as a shared commitment to tackling the lack of resources and data on this issue. This partnership has helped overcome challenges and magnified each partner’s impact in creating resources and mobilizing stakeholders, an achievement that would not have been possible within individual borders. This cooperative approach has also enriched each deliverable, making them more relevant and adaptable to various contexts.\n\nThe ADRINCLUSIVE project’s communication efforts have been important in establishing a strong presence and outreach foundation. Led by PP7, a communication strategy and plan were created, with a Facebook page launched to engage stakeholders, update the public, and share project achievements in real-time. Although most WP1 deliverables were completed toward the end of Period 1, limiting immediate promotion, full-scale dissemination is planned for Period 2. This strategic rollout aims to enhance visibility, ensure the project’s pioneering contributions reach a wide audience, and foster active engagement among sectors invested in advancing inclusive tourism for individuals with dementia.\n\nSince the beginning of the project, ADRINCLUSIVE has made steady and meaningful progress toward building a new inclusive and sustainable tourism model for people with dementia and cognitive decline in the Adriatic region.\n\nThe first important step was to engage tourism and welfare professionals directly. Local focus groups were organized in Cesena, Novigrad, Split, Brindisi, and Macerata, where operators, educators, and associations working with people with dementia discussed the real needs, skills, and opportunities for creating more inclusive tourism offers. These conversations continued at the cross-border roundtables held in Cesena, where stakeholders from different countries shared ideas and practical solutions to make tourism more accessible. This collective work resulted in two important reports that now serve as a strong foundation for shaping the new ADRINCLUSIVE strategy: one mapping the skills needed for inclusive tourism, and another gathering ideas and practical solutions from discussions across different regions. These results now provide a strong, shared foundation for shaping a common strategy to improve tourism accessibility for people living with dementia.\n\nIn parallel, the project launched a Call for Innovative Services and Products, aiming to collect tools, technologies, and ideas that can improve the competitiveness and resilience of the future inclusive tourism model. The goal is to gather innovative solutions to be included in a dedicated Catalogue, and, where possible, even implement them during the project pilot vacations.\n\nAnother major highlight is the preparation of the awareness campaign, specifically designed to reach families and caregivers of people with dementia. The campaign will include a high-quality brochure guiding them on how to organize an “inclusive vacation” — a simple yet powerful idea for families who might never have thought that a holiday could be possible for their loved ones. Attractive ADRINCLUSIVE postcards will also be created and distributed not only in tourist information points but also in senior centers, hospitals, and day centers, helping to raise awareness among both the general public and tourism operators. Additionally, partners will organize live events around World Alzheimer’s Day (21 September 2025) to promote awareness of dementia issues and the ADRINCLUSIVE model.\nThe added value of cross-border cooperation has been crucial by bringing together different experiences, cultural approaches, and professional knowledge from across the Adriatic area, ADRINCLUSIVE is creating a truly shared and sustainable model. Thanks to this collaboration, the project is not only developing practical solutions but also changing mindsets, showing that tourism can and should be a right accessible to everyone, including those living with dementia.\nToday, ADRINCLUSIVE stands with strong foundations, a clear vision, and real momentum toward making inclusive tourism a reality across borders.\nSince its launch, ADRINCLUSIVE has made significant strides toward building an inclusive and sustainable tourism model for people with dementia and cognitive decline in the Adriatic region. The project now stands on solid ground, having not only laid out its vision but also delivered key building blocks for long-term change.\nOne of the most important achievements has been the finalization of the ADRINCLUSIVE Strategy, a comprehensive document jointly developed by all partners. This strategy defines the future roadmap for accessible tourism in the cross-border area, based on real needs identified through extensive engagement with local communities, tourism professionals, and health and welfare experts. The process behind the strategy has been as important as the result itself: through focus groups, roundtables, and local workshops, partners have built a strong cross-sectoral and cross-border dialogue that ensures the model is both practical and replicable.\nIn parallel, the partnership finalized the Catalogue of Innovative Services and Products, a collection of tools, technologies, and creative ideas that will support the implementation of the inclusive tourism model. This deliverable showcases the added value of cooperation by integrating contributions from different territories and expertise areas.\nThe project also launched its local and cross-border Awareness Campaign, aimed at families, caregivers, local communities, and tourism stakeholders. Highlights include the creation of an accessible brochure (“How to organize a holiday for people with dementia?”), postcards, and public events such as intergenerational workshops. These actions are helping to break stereotypes, foster empathy, and build community awareness that dementia should not be a barrier to travel.\nAnother key milestone was the co-creation of the ADRINCLUSIVE Cross-border Training Methodology, a practical and modular training programme designed for tourism and welfare operators. It provides knowledge, tools, and interactive methods (like storytelling and roleplay) to improve inclusive service delivery and promote collaboration between sectors. All partners contributed to the methodology, which is now ready for local implementation through targeted training sessions across the programme area.\nAt the same time, the ADRINCLUSIVE digital platform is in advanced development. Designed as a user-friendly tool, it will offer information about accessible destinations, inclusive services, and caregiving associations across the Adriatic region. Its goal is to empower families, professionals, and institutions alike with centralized, practical resources.\nFinally, the preparation for the pilot inclusive holiday experiences, to be tested in Italy and Croatia, has begun. These pilots will offer at least 3-day, 2-night vacation experiences for people with dementia and their caregivers, combining well-being, culture, and nature in a supportive environment.\nThe added value of cross-border cooperation is visible at every step: from the exchange of best practices to the creation of shared tools, the project has fostered mutual learning and innovation across the Adriatic. Different professional backgrounds and cultural approaches have come together to shape a coherent, inclusive, and transferable model. Thanks to the collaborative effort of all partners, ADRINCLUSIVE is no longer just a vision, it is becoming a reality. The project is changing not only the way we design tourism services but also how we think about inclusion, dignity, and accessibility for all.","Split, Forlì, Macerata, Mercato Saraceno, Novigrad-Cittanova, Brindisi","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},7]

Fishing activities represent an important source of marine litter releasing various forms of debris, directly or indirectly, into the sea but can also be an important resource for reducing litter both through their ordinary activities and specifically targeted initiatives such as ‘Fishing for Litter’. The Northern-Central Adriatic Sea, due to its partially enclosed nature, the socio-economic importance of its fisheries, and the abundance of fishing ports along its coasts, is particularly vulnerable to ML, of which it is considered a hotspot. Here a coordinated, synergistic strategy covering both Adriatic coasts and involving the fishery sector, aiming to reduce the generation and release of waste and facilitate litter collection and disposal would be crucial to preserve the marine environment and its biodiversity under siege by multiple local human pressures and climate change. The FishNoWaste project aims at enhancing the protocols for waste reduction (with a special focus on plastic), collection and management, including reuse and recycling, in northern Adriatic fishing ports through the development and implementation of good practices and innovative techniques and materials, with the involvement of key fishery related stakeholders including fishers themsevels. The project will connect research institutions, fisher associations, fish market and port authorities, municipalities and scientific communication NGOs from Italy and Croatia with the specific aims of comprehensively monitoring the debris caught during fishing activities and generated in fishing ports, replacing plastics in fishing vessels and ports with eco-compatible and reusable materials, implementing a novel, more circular waste management model, performing a widespread communication and dissemination campaign on the importance of a correct waste management, and providing strategic management and policy advice on these issues. The network of partners and stakeholders of this project will represent the foundation for an effective basin-wide strategy to reduce marine litter.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

Representatives of the municipality of Chioggia and University of Padova welcomed the participants at the Palazzo Grassi and wished the partners a good start to the project. \nDuring the first six months of the project, a comprehensive review of the local, Italian, Croatian and international legislation on waste management in fishing ports has been developed for the targeted projet area, and all the future monitoring activities on waste produced by fishing ports have been discussed, prepared and planned. \nThe involvement of National, Regional and, especially, local stakeholders and their active participation is creating a strong and important synergy in achieving project objectives. Information collected with the involvement of the fishermen in the pilot fishing ports is providing an overview of the wastes delivered (quantity and type), the methods of delivery, and the facilities to manage and dispose the different types of waste. LP is making efforts, including networking, to include an additional fishing port - Porto Garibaldi - in the project, even if not initially planned, given the regional importance of the local fishery activities and, so, in order to achieve a larger project positive impact on the marine litter issue working in synergy with other ports. The information gathered so far has shown great interest in the project and sensitivity to the subject matter, shown great openness to dialogue, deep sensitivity to the project issues, and excellent willingness to collaborate. This first working period was characterized by a continuous and excellent communication across the partnership, leading to a fruitful exchange of ideas, with four deliverables already written: in addition to the ones on legislation, two other documents outlined the Communication Plan/Strategy and the educational program of the project with future activities with students. Partners planned for the autumn all the education and communication activities that will start with the organization of a round table dedicated to the FishNoWaste project at the Ecomondo fair on the 7-8th of November 2024.\nThis second working period was characterized by a continuous and excellent communication across the partnership, leading to a fruitful exchange of ideas through email exchanges and online and in-person meetings, which allowed forongoing communication and provided regular project updates. UNIPD organized and coordinated the Technical Board and Public Event on November 7-8, 2024, in Rimini at Ecomondo fair. During this period, in the four fishing ports selected (Chioggia and Rimini in Italy; Brižine and Tribunj in Croatia) regular in situ monitoring of waste collected by the fishers during the Fishing for Litter activities started, also including data collection on produced and collected waste quantities and types within ports. It was also recorded the quantities of used and disposed polystyrene boxes. In collaboration with SST, a specific area within the port in Chioggia was identified for the installation of the pilot solution. Both Italian and Croatian partners carried out initial market research on solutions adopted in fishing ports to reduce/better manage waste; they include washable plastic boxes for fish, washing machines used to clean them, separate collection areas (ecological islands), oil recycling, management of mussel nets deriving from aquaculture and used batteries. In Italy meetings were held with several stakeholder companies like DuWo (plastic fish boxes), CONOU (waste oil), LIFE Muscles (mussels’ nets) and Re -Bat (used batteries). Synergies were created  with the Life Muscles project team and CONOU for the disposal of mussel nets and waste oil respectively. UNIPD also prepared and sent a questionnaire for the ports and fish market managers along the Adriatic coast. Participatory activities with fishers and fishing institutions and Education dedicated to high schools and university have been ongoing and have been mainly coordinated by SUNCE and RERA. Italian PPs started to contact stakeholders (e.g. fishermen, trade associations) to recruite fishers to be involved in participatory activities and carried out a survey and analysis to verify which educational institutions to involve. The Croatian side gave shape at the training for fishermen, provided suggestions to the partner in charge on how to design training for fishermen and a round table on project activities was organised and attended. All PPs participated in discussions with selected stakeholders to establish the National Advisory Boards and address the board development.  The identification of the members of the Italian board has been ongoing but the final decision was slightly postponed due to the time needed to get in contact with relevant institutional stakeholders, but it will be completed in the next reporting period; this minor change actually allows a better alignment between Activity 4.1 and 1.3, which are related.\nThis third working period was characterized by a continuous communication across the partnership, leading to a fruitful exchange of ideas through email exchanges and online and in-person meetings, to ensure that everyone is aware of their obligations and to arrange the best possible implementation of the activities. During this period, in the four fishing ports selected (Chioggia and Rimini in Italy; Brižine and Tribunj in Croatia) regular in situ monitoring of waste collected by the fishers during the Fishing for Litter activities continued, also including data collection on produced and collected waste quantities and types within ports.  In collaboration with SST, a specific area within the port in Chioggia was identified for the installation of the most likely pilot solution which is a green island for waste storage, recycling and recovery. In collaboration with UNIPD and IOR, M.A.R.E team developed an online questionnaire for municipalities, port authorities, and fishing cooperatives in main Adriatic ports, to assesses awareness and implementation of Directive 2019/883, with focus on waste management plans. Both Italian and Croatian partners started to plan the pilot solutions to be implemented in each of four pilot ports. Participatory activities with fishers and fishing institutions and Education dedicated to high schools and university have been ongoing both in Croatia and in Italy. All PPs participated in discussions with selected stakeholders to address the development of the National Advisory Boards. The identification of the members of the Italian board has been finalized. From 27th to 29th of May, all the project partners attended the FishNoWaste Project Meeting in Split, hosted by Croatian partners. On 28 May, 2025, an Advisory Board meeting was held in Tribunj.

["ITHR0400249","Marine Litter-Free Adriatic Sea- Education for Active Youth Participation","The Adriatic Sea enjoys remarkable marine resources and landscapes shared by Italy and Croatia. However, it’s under constant growing pressure with marine litter being one of the gravest threats to it. More than 80% of waste in the Adriatic Sea, vastly plastic, comes from the land as a result of human activities. Therefore, education based on active participation of youth is important for creating a sustainable society. The lack of practice in education results in superficial knowledge and a low promotion of key competencies. Additionally, the Report of Territorial and Socioeconomic Analysis reflects the need of a higher inclusion of knowledge related to the blue economy sectors into the education systems. The project's objective is to contribute to preservation of the Adriatic Sea by developing and implementing a cross-border educational program for youth on marine litter and waste prevention based on participative learning methods and service learning (SL). Participation enables youth to be active in social processes, combat problems and to possess specific capacities to act. Further, SL combines theory with practical work in society, learners stand up for the interests of their community and thus serve the common good. Cross-border school cooperation will improve professional knowledge and enable the exchange of teachers' experiences, while building their capacities for the application of similar programs in further projects and academic processes. Teachers and educators of Sunce will increase their capacities and exchange knowledge about how these environmental topics can be integrated in the education system. This will further improve the education of the new generations. The project, especially communication activities and the final conference, will connect relevant stakeholders of the Adriatic coastal region to jointly reach new approaches in education, raise awareness and resume the fight against the marine litter pollution of the Adriatic Sea.","2023-08-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

Through cross-border cooperation, students learned how to reduce pollution, schools gained tools to integrate environmental topics into the school curriculum and formal education, and professors were trained to include environmental topic in their teaching.\n\nProject development\nDespite different waste management systems and educational approaches and programs in the two countries, the project successfully brought together youth, schools, professors, NGOs, and local communities. Key activities included interactive workshops, study visits, and community-based youth pilot actions. Study trips provided students with valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge and experiences, while also strengthening their communication skills and adaptability in new situations. By visiting different regions and engaging with peers from diverse backgrounds, students were exposed to various cultures and perspectives. These trips also helped them recognize the global nature of marine litter and waste management issues, gaining insight into how these challenges are addressed in other countries.

Involved schools plan to continue the educational program in the next year with different students and also they planned new project together. The project showed that when youth are engaged through hands-on learning, they become active advocates for environmental protection and sustainability. The collaboration continues, ensuring long-lasting impact in schools and their local communities.\nEvaluation results highlight the comments and impressions of participating youth: students particularly enjoyed the practical and interactive activities carried out during the project, including study trips to Croatia and Italy. These trips allowed them to explore new places, learn about local history, and gather new information on microplastics and pollution. They especially valued hands-on activities such as beach cleanups and cooperation with local organizations like Sunce, whose experts they greatly appreciated. Moreover, students emphasized the importance of social interaction during the project. They enjoyed collaborating with peers from both Croatia and Italy, especially in communication campaigns and youth-led pilot projects involving younger students, such as the one implemented at the elementary school “Skalice” in Croatia. They expressed gratitude for the opportunity to meet new people, spend quality time in meaningful activities, and learn through fun. Altogether, their experience was enriching, and the project provided them with new knowledge and unforgettable memories.","Split, Venezia","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},3]
["ITHR0400301","Bridging the gaps of Cross border Small destinations","Legal and administrative obstacles hampers the cross-border cooperation in Italy – Croatia Programme area, especially those concerning the operational and administrative governance mechanisms through which local public authorities manage different key sectors, such as tourism. This is the case of three inner areas, such as the Area of the Basso Ferrarese of Emilia Romagna Region, the Matese Inner Area of Molise Region, and the Municipality of Dugopolje of Split-Dalmatia County, territories with a strong touristic vocation, but actually outside of important tourist flows and especially cross-border initiatives, due to an extreme fragmentation of tourism governance mechanisms and a lack of unified touristic instruments. The project BRICS aims to overcome these obstacles hampering the outwards touristic promotion of inner areas, through the provision of unique tourism governance mechanisms and instruments, such as One Stop Shops for Tourism and Area Tourist Centres, as well as a BRICS Cross-border Strategy to externally promote tourist assets, fostering the participation to cross-border initiatives. The project will actively support local public administrators, local stakeholders and citizens that will be involved in a co-participative process, aimed at designing tourism governance solutions and cross-border promotional strategies.","2023-07-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

Based on the main achievement of BRICS, the three new tourism governance mechanisms and identified instruments will become operational—each tailored to one area involved in the project— from the 2025, ensuring that these territories gain visibility, attract more visitors and be included in Cross-Border initiatives.  \nThese areas are the Union of River and Lands of the Basso Ferrarese (Emilia-Romagna), the Union of Biferno Springs (Molise), and the Municipality of Dugopolje (Split-Dalmatia). Although rich in culture, history, and nature, these places often remain under the radar for tourists because most promotional efforts have been local, fragmented, and uncoordinated.\nTo tackle this issue, each partner designed a unique solution that fits their territory's characteristics. These were officially adopted through the signing of three administrative acts. In addition, the partners agreed on a joint Memorandum of Understanding, which will support cross-border cooperation and ensure a more united and long-lasting approach to tourism development.\nFor example, in targeted area, outdated administrative procedures made it difficult for local tourism operators, as well as natural and cultural asset to have visibility, on main tourism destination routes. Thanks to the BRICS project, those procedures were revised, making it easier for local touristic offer to be included in broader promotional plans. As a result, a traveller exploring a cultural event in one town might now also be guided to nearby nature trails or historical sites in a neighbouring village—benefiting the wider region.\nA key success of the project has been the shared learning process. Each partner took time to analyse its own tourism strategies, exchange practices with others, and involve local stakeholders—from small business owners to public officials—in shaping better governance. This collaborative process led to a stronger, united vision for the future of tourism in these inner areas.\nThe BRICS project also encouraged a shift in mindset. Local authorities, tourism associations, and small businesses began to understand the value of working together through a unified strategy, rather than relying on isolated efforts. This led to the development of a long-term Cross-Border Tourism Promotion Strategy, built on shared goals and tailored to local realities.\nBy the end of the project, all partners had gained valuable insights, not just about how to promote their territories better, but also about how to build strong networks that extend across borders. This experience laid the groundwork for ongoing cooperation, which will continue through joint training sessions, skills development workshops, and events designed to attract more visitors and boost local economies.\nWhat began as an effort to overcome fragmented governance has evolved into a shared commitment to making these hidden gems of Italy and Croatia shine on the tourism map. The challenge ahead is to keep this momentum going, making sure that the new tools and strategies are used in everyday practice, helping local communities’ benefit from a more sustainable and coordinated approach to tourism development.","Dugopolje, Bojano, Copparo","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},3]
["ITHR0400325","Adriatic traditional navigation and shipbuilding as a PorTal between mainLand and the sea and as a key synergic factor for innovative touristic services and routes","The Adriatic PortLand project aims at developing a structured integration plan between the coastal tourist offer and the hinterland river one. The area involved is characterized by a high degree of initiatives and actions with reference to promotion of cultural heritage, protection of natural resources and delivery of sustainable touristic services: such initiatives at present are not integrated in a synergic offer that considers the seasonal peaks of touristic flows and the site-specific value of traditional shipbuilding and navigation. The use of Exchange Labs and learning-by-doing tools will make possible the preparation of future tourism operators that will contribute to fill the gap between the potential of traditional activities and routes and the actual touristic offer, that encounters problems due to the present pattern of low-skilled and unstable jobs in the tourism industry. The approach selected consists in 3 main steps: a) the showcase of best practices in the identified sector, b) the implementation of joint exchange laboratories, a design thinking workshop, joint cultural events, Traditional Boats Sailing and Rowing Meetings c) the definition of a joint strategy and of an operational coordination scheme for the implementation of the selected objectives, including an action plan for the creation of a new Foundation that will act as a point of reference for the whole area. The roots of traditional nautical sector are common to all Countries facing the Adriatic Sea and the connection between the sea and the mainland via river navigation was a fil rouge of shared values, means of transport and cultural features. Given this, the only possible approach to this issue must be transnational. The project is original due to its focus on both coastal and river navigation: the valorization of traditional river navigation and the reopening of ancient routes connecting the sea and the hinterland, can contribute to the protection of the territories from hydrogeological hazards and to the creation of new touristic services, resulting also in a mean of social inclusion.

A New Way to Experience Coastal and River Tourism\nThe project achieved a concrete and innovative result: a shared strategy to enhance traditional nautical heritage as a key part of tourism development between Italy and Croatia. Thanks to cross-border cooperation, new opportunities were created to discover the rich maritime culture of the region in an authentic way—engaging communities, tourism operators, and local institutions. At its core, the project focused on reviving and promoting traditional slow navigation and artisanal handmade shipbuilding, which now form part of thematic tourism routes, cultural events, and digital tools for visitors.\n\n2. Connecting Heritage, People, and Places\nThe challenge was twofold: bridging the gap between coastal and inland tourism, and preserving a fading maritime heritage. Existing tourism offers were fragmented and often overlooked the region’s rich history of river and sea navigation. At the same time, traditional boatbuilding and sailing knowledge was at risk of being lost, with fewer young people interested in these skills.\nTo tackle this, the project brought together stakeholders through “Exchange Labs” to share ideas and best practices. A joint cultural tourism strategy was created, alongside a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to ensure long-term cooperation. Participatory initiatives were hold to learn by doing the activities organised by other parrners.\nA collaborative design process, including SWOT analyses and design thinking workshops, helped shape solutions that were tailored to the unique cultural and geographic features of the involved regions. Cross-border collaboration was essential to ensure consistent tourism models and governance structures.\n\n3. Project Legacy\nThe project’s legacy lies in the systems it put in place for the future. The Joint Strategy for Cultural Tourism offers a sustainable framework to guide ongoing efforts. The MoU ensures continued collaboration across borders. Educational events like “Settimana Blu” and Traditional Boats Meetings will keep local heritage visible and alive. Digital tools such as interactive maps and apps provide long-lasting resources for tourists and operators.\n\nChallenges remain—such as the effects of climate change on waterways and the need to keep younger generations engaged—but the foundation is strong. The project has opened doors to new tourism products, increased community pride, and strengthened regional identity. Most importantly, it has shown that cultural heritage, when nurtured and shared, can become a powerful engine for sustainable tourism and local development.","Moscenicka-draga, Padova, Cesenatico, Rovinj-Rovigno","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},4]
["ITHR0400295","Eco-cultural Tourism for tHe sustaiNable development of Adriatic Inland Communities","Revolutionising tourism in small inland and peripheral communities with a sustainable and eco-cultural twist: Project ETHNIC is here to empower them! \n\nWith many small towns and villages still struggling to develop tourism sustainably, this project is set to change the game. \nIn fact, even today, small inland and peripheral areas are struggling to plan and implement sustainable tourism to drive economic and social growth. Historically, tourism in these areas has developed haphazardly, with no clear direction or coordination between local stakeholders. This is particularly true in the Adriatic region, where sustainable tourism opportunities are being missed due to a lack of strategic planning and multilevel cooperation.\n\nETHNIC aims to bridge the knowledge gap and empower small inland and peripheral settlements to become distinctive and undiscovered tourist destinations in the global market. To achieve this, regional and local authorities, policymakers and stakeholders must play a critical role in unlocking the tourism development potential by enhancing tourism capabilities, promoting collaboration, and reinforcing tourism as a growth sector that supports sustainability and job opportunities. They must also promote sustainable business models, create permanent employment opportunities, and develop joint policies and investment plans to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainability. Additionally, they must create alternative routes, develop new integrated offers, broaden the traditional tourism flows, decrease seasonality, and address inclusive tourism development for vulnerable groups.\n\nAt the heart of ETHNIC is a holistic approach that prioritizes involving LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND COMMUNITIES in tourism development. This entails engaging residents in small inaldn and peripheral villages in valorising local culture, heritage, natural assets, and slow mobility, which promotes citizens’ well-being as a long-term sustainability factor of tourism. \nLocal stakeholders will be involved in decision-making and policy implementation to develop appropriate solutions for effective policy implementation and translate the tourism development strategy into practice. As a result, the project focuses on community-led tourist development, identifying touristic points of interest and valuing natural and cultural resources. This novel approach aims to increase tourism flows to the project communities.\n\nOne other novel element in the ETHNIC project is the focus on the relatively unprecedented approach named “ECO-CULTURAL TOURISM” (developed by the UN World Tourism Organization), which is a new form and new concept for tourism development that combines the conservation of natural and cultural sites with economic and recreational benefits through sustainable development and improves the conditions of the RECIPIENT COMMUNITIES. The primary motivation is observation, appreciation, and contemplation as an experience within the natural and cultural environment.\n\nRather than starting from scratch or reinventing the wheel, ETHNIC will build upon the results of previous projects. In fact, ETHNIC is based on the improvement of the technical knowledge, methodologies, tools, instruments, and processes transferred from the projects “EXCOVER” (Interreg Italy-Croatia CBC 2014-2020) and “STEFAN” (Erasmus+ KA2 2014-2020).

Lacking coordinated strategies, technical know-how, and visibility, these regions struggled to compete with popular coastal destinations. The ETHNIC Project changed that. By bringing together small towns, businesses, and communities across borders, ETHNIC introduced a shared vision of tourism: sustainable, inclusive, and rooted in local identity.\nAlthough no pilot actions were carried out, the project developed nine eco-cultural tourism products and a cross-border tourism map, equipping local actors with practical tools and know-how to strengthen their tourism offer. ETHNIC helped transform these once-overlooked places into destinations that now attract new visitors and promote economic vitality—while staying true to their heritage.\nReflecting the values of the New European Bauhaus, ETHNIC showed that sustainability can be beautiful when it combines local culture, collaboration, and a sense of place.\n \nBEHIND THE SCENES: FROM FRAGMENTATION TO COOPERATION\nDespite their authentic appeal, inland communities faced a common challenge: local actors—municipalities, businesses, and associations—often worked independently, without coordination or shared strategies. This limited their ability to grow and promote tourism effectively.\nETHNIC responded by empowering these actors through knowledge exchange, participatory planning, and digital innovation. Training activities built capacity in sustainable tourism planning. Cross-border collaboration enabled partners to design thematic circuits and tourism packages rooted in local traditions. A digital tourism map was created to enhance visibility, and tailored marketing strategies were developed to strengthen each region’s reach.\nCooperation was not an accessory—it was the engine of success. Through joint workshops and stakeholder dialogues, the project facilitated meaningful exchanges between Italian and Croatian communities. This led to new ways of working—collaboratively rather than in isolation.\n“Through ETHNIC, we learned that only if the territory cooperates together and becomes a system it is possible to become a tourism destination—while we are used to operate singularly as municipalities and private tourism operators,” said the Mayor of Frontino, Italy.\n“Thanks to ETHNIC, we’ve seen more interest in our village trails and local experiences. We feel more connected to the wider tourism ecosystem now,” said an agrotourism operator from Benkovac, Croatia.\n \nA LEGACY THAT LASTS\nOne of ETHNIC’s most meaningful achievements is the sense of ownership it fostered among local stakeholders. Small tourism operators, cultural associations, and municipalities now have the tools and confidence to shape their future.\nThe project’s legacy includes open-access training materials, a jointly developed digital tourism map, and a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support ongoing collaboration between partners. Public-private partnerships established during the project are already continuing to guide tourism strategies in the regions involved.\nWhile no physical pilot actions took place, the project built a strong foundation for future initiatives by laying out a clear, transferable model for sustainable tourism development. ETHNIC has become a reference point for how eco-cultural tourism can thrive through cooperation, identity, and innovation.\nLooking ahead, challenges remain—such as keeping up with digital trends, improving infrastructure, and maintaining long-term engagement. But the opportunities are greater: ETHNIC’s model can inspire other regions in Europe to revive inland areas through community-led, sustainable tourism.\n \nETHNIC: MORE THAN A PROJECT.

Partners published information on the project on their institutional websites and the news of the KoM.\n-\tA first press review of the event was collected.\n-\tAs leader partner of WP1, DNR started analysing European and national regulations on carbon credits market. \n\nThe partners have started organizing the fundamental activities to provide a strategic framework for the project that is aligned with the ongoing evolution of European carbon credit regulations, the European certification framework, and incentive measures for the agricultural sector to increase its carbon sequestration capacity.\nIn particular, the activities consist of a comparative analysis between the methodology developed through the first GECO 2 project and European regulations, as well as an analysis of further projects developed in Europe with the aim of finding synergies.\nWith the aim of ensuring that the experimentation of GECO 2.2 is as effective as possible in demonstrating the applicability of a carbon credit market in agriculture in line with the evolution of European legislation and practices, the partners consider the collaboration and sharing of objectives with relevant stakeholders to be fundamental: first and foremost experts from DG AGRI and DG Climate, the EU CAP Network, and also other public (regional and national) and private stakeholders (associations, companies). For this reason, the partners have begun to: 1) identify relevant stakeholders to be involved in the Expert Panel; 2) define a methodology for involving stakeholders and collecting their indications and opinions - for example through interviews - which will be integrated into the comparative analysis; 3) plan an international event in the first months of 2025 in which to present and discuss the comparative analysis and the development line of the project tools.\nAt this stage, the cooperation of all partners is fundamental, both to support research and analysis activities and to engage a wide range of stakeholders. In particular, the role of the associated partners is crucial to involving key actors at the national and European level in the discussion.\n\n\nThe GECO2.2 project has made significant progress in this semester of activities.\nComparative studies between GECO2 model and the new European legislation and research related to similar projects on carbon markets have been carried on.\nAt the same time, strategic partnerships with academic and governmental institutions have been set up.\nOne of the main achievements concerns the preparation of the comparative study between the GECO2 model and the new European Regulation 2024/3012, published on November 27, 2024. \nThe new law inevitably led to a review of project strategy and activities. \nIn particular, for what that concern WP 1.1 contents, the GECO 2.2 project management, with the approval of all the partners, decided to include in the study a detailed analysis of the new EU Regulation Framework. This regulatory evolution has therefore led to an update of the document, whose completion has been postponed to incorporate academic and institutional insights. \nThe alignment of the project with the new European Framework for voluntary carbon markets, is of fundamental importance in giving the project a reliable and long-lasting experimental structure.  \nIn this context, contacts, meetings, and partnerships have been organized with the following stakeholders: CREA (Italian Council for Research in Agriculture), the University of Bologna (Faculty of Agriculture), the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, and the GECO2.2 associated partners (Region Emilia Romagna, Region Apulia, Croatian Ministry of Agriculture).\nA final draft version of the study will be presented and discussed in March 2025, during the Intermediate Meeting in Dubrovnik on March 26. This meeting will be a key moment to share results and define the project's future strategies.\nAnother significant activity has been research on major international projects related to carbon calculation markets (WP 1.2.). All the PPs worked on selecting and gathering a group of interesting projects. The first draft of the report was completed in January 2025, while the final version will be finalized by March and presented during the event in Dubrovnik.\nAlso, the comparative analysis between the GECO2 calculation system and international standards (WP2.1) has identified Regulation (EU) 2024/3012 as a key reference for experimental testing and methodological development. Collaboration with universities and research centres will be thus crucial in interpreting future evolutions of the European regulatory framework and in defining a correct project methodology.\nThis activity is planned to be finalised within the next semester.\nWith reference to WP 3.1 activities, PPs discussed to extend the analysis to include, not only the main international certification standards, but also the founding certification principles established by the new EU Regulation Framework. The test, that will identify 5 sample projects, is planned to be concluded within the next semester.\nRelating to certification of project process and tools (WP3.2), the PPs initiated contacts with certification experts for certifying GECO2.2 procedures and tools. In this frame, contacts have been established with the Croatian Ministry for Environmental Protection and in Italy, with CREA (Italian Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture).\nAt the light of the new EU regulation framework, PPs discussed about the need of an enlargement of the WP3.2 content and scope: the new goal must no longer be only the certification of the tools but the validation of the complete Operational Plan inside the certification scheme, foreseen in the EU Regulation.\n\nWith reference to WP 4.4 activities the General training modules (targeted to farmers, project partners, relevant stakeholders, media, universities & research centers, public authorities & agencies, general public) have been planned to be realised within the next semester.\nThe project’s communication strategy has taken a further step forward with the final approval of the Communication Plan during the Steering Committee meeting on January 21, 2025. \nThe project organized several project meetings, ensuring smooth collaboration among partners. Throughout the period, three remote general project meetings were organized, which have been essential in monitoring progress, addressing challenges, and refining project strategies.\nOther meetings have been carried on among PPs, on thematic subjects (technical matters, strategy, communication, etc)\nAdditionally, the Quality Management Plan has been completed and approved.  This deliverable outlines the project’s quality assurance measures and implementation guidelines. The plan was finalized and approved during the Steering Committee meeting on January 21, 2025. This document will serve as a reference to ensure high standards in all project activities and outputs.\n\nThe GECO 2.2 project has entered a pivotal phase, aligning its innovative model for voluntary carbon markets with the newly adopted EU Regulation 2024/3012 which aims to establish a Union certification framework for permanent carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products. In the light of the new European Regulation the main objectives of the project is to experiment a new operational model for the voluntary carbon markets in agriculture and could represent a first example on how to work in the new European law frame. The new EU regulation greatly impacts on design and timing of project tools. For instance, project carbon calculation and of market working rules must be in line with it to be recognized and validated as an operative actor in the new EU carbon market framework. \nDuring PR3, the consortium finalized key deliverables, including a comparative analysis of the GECO2 methodology against European standards (D1.1.1) and a comprehensive review of similar initiatives (D1.2.1). These outputs not only validate the scientific robustness of the project but also lay the groundwork for the pilot phase. The establishment of an Expert-Stakeholder Panel has evolved into a participatory platform for shaping certification schemes, while targeted meetings with ministries, universities, and regional authorities have strengthened institutional engagement.\nDissemination efforts—ranging from international conference (D1.4.1) to strategic media campaigns (D1.4.3)—have amplified public awareness and stakeholder involvement.\nActivities related to WPs 2, 3, and 4 have now begun. Specifically, the draft version of D 2.1.1 is underway, focusing on a comparative study between the GECO2 calculation method and major international standards. At the same time, D 3.1.1 Draft has also started, involving pilot experimental tests and a technical-scientific evaluation of GECO2 procedures in comparison with key European and international certification standards.\nFurthermore, D 4.4.2 is in progress, which includes the development of general training modules—two of which have already been organized in Croatia and Molise.\nAll partners have given their contributions and the final deliverables took into account the inputs coming from each partner. Actions related to all the project WPs have been discussed with the AP and deliverables and development strategies shared.  The AP partners directly supported the realization of the WP4 general training events.\nThe involvement of the AP in the project activities witness the will of the APs to use the results of GECO2.2 and participate in the working scheme promoted by the project.\nIt should be noted that some activities have been slightly modified to update them with the changes that have occurred at a legislative level.\nHowever, we have tried to include these changes within each specific activity without making changes to the financial structure of the project.\n\n","Kaštel Lukšić, Ancona, Campobasso, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Valenzano, Ravenna","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},7]

Following submission, AFC managed the clarification process requested by the JS Project Officer, resulting in the formal approval of the report. In December 2024, AFC received the first reimbursement and promptly proceeded with the distribution of partner shares, ensuring that financial flows remained aligned with the project timeline.\n\nBeyond reporting, AFC also played a central role in general project coordination, monitoring work package progress, facilitating internal deadlines, and supporting consistency across deliverables. All partners actively participated in regular exchanges and updates, ensuring transparency and alignment in decision-making.\n\nA key moment of collective engagement was the 2nd Steering Committee meeting, hosted by the City of Venice on 27–28 November 2024, where partners reviewed progress, discussed technical and financial issues, and planned upcoming activities. The meeting served as a platform for strategic coordination and highlighted the commitment of all partners to maintaining strong governance and collaborative spirit throughout the project lifecycle.\nThe REEL project continues to make strong progress toward its goal of enhancing cultural tourism through cinema. Building on the solid groundwork laid in the first two periods, the third reporting phase was marked by key milestones across all work packages and deepened collaboration between partners.\n\nOne of the most visible accomplishments was the successful selection of eight young directors from Italy and Croatia for the joint production of short films inspired by the Adriatic region. Coordinated by AFC, the evaluation phase was completed, and a cross-border brainstorming meeting was held in Bari  in July to kick off screenplay development. The directors entered a structured tutoring process, receiving guidance from film professional to refine their scripts, which will form the creative foundation for the short films. These audiovisual products will serve not only as artistic outputs but also as tools for promoting the region’s identity and appeal to new audiences.\n\nIn parallel, significant progress was made in the development of movie-themed tours and related apps, designed to guide visitors through filming locations across partner territories. Several partners completed the content definition and initiated technical implementation, including app development, platform upgrades, and the drafting of itineraries. Pilot apps are already undergoing fine-tuning or have been contracted and are in advanced design stages. These digital tools will offer immersive experiences connecting cinema, heritage, and local tourism contributing to the project's goals of de-seasonalisation and delocalisation of tourist flows. Creative actions continued to gain momentum, with all partners launching or advancing their pilot initiatives. Venice’s Casa del Cinema hosted curated screenings, author events, and thematic programs exploring European borders through film. Rimini activated inclusive cultural spaces through exhibitions, podcasts, and workshops linked to Federico Fellini. Art-kino finalized contracts for the Kvarner Film Commission website redesign, while KD moved forward with its House of Luža initiative, engaging the local community and recovering historical film materials. IKA, together with the City of Pazin, prepared the design phase for the Film Room in Spomen Dom, which will showcase Istria’s cinematic legacy. REEL’s strategic component also advanced significantly. A major milestone was the organization of the International Conference on Film Tourism, held in Pula and hosted by IKA. Gathering over 60 participants, the event provided a platform for high-level exchange on sustainable film tourism, with academic, policy, and industry voices from across Europe. Art-kino finalized and delivered the joint study “Film Tourism in Italy and Croatia,” offering a comparative analysis of strengths, opportunities, and challenges in both countries. These two achievements laid the intellectual groundwork for the forthcoming Joint Methodology for Using Cinema to Promote Tourism, coordinated by the City of Venice and scheduled for delivery at project closure.\n\nWithin Work Package 3, activities focused on preparing the REEL Youth Camp, to be held in Dubrovnik in October 2025. KD coordinated the call for participants, while all partners supported its promotion, resulting in a successful response. Art-kino also designed its own upcoming training in Rijeka for young location managers and filmmakers, scheduled for early 2026. These activities reflect REEL’s broader aim of investing in youth skills and professional opportunities in the creative and cultural sectors.\n\nThroughout the reporting period, AFC as Lead Partner ensured strong coordination, submitting Project Report 2.1, managing clarifications and reimbursements, and supporting all partners in reporting and technical tasks. AFC with City of Venice co-represented the project at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, during the high-level event \"EU Crossing Stories\", showcasing REEL's approach and enhancing its visibility among EU stakeholders.\n\nThe added value of cooperation in REEL lies in its ability to combine local actions into a shared cross-border strategy that is richer, more diverse, and more impactful than any single effort. From coordinated communications and calls to shared tools and training formats, the partnership has built a strong ecosystem that leverages cinema as a medium for tourism, education, and territorial development.\n\nAs of Period 3, several deliverables have been finalized or are in advanced implementation: a completed international conference, a finalized study, selected filmmakers and developed screenplays, multiple pilot apps in development, and creative actions underway in all territories. While the full impact of the project will be realized upon completion of key outputs (apps, films, and trainings), REEL has already succeeded in turning cinema into a driver of cultural visibility, local pride, and cross-border cooperation.","Rimini, Dubronvik, Rijeka, Pula, Venice, Bari","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},6]
["ITHR0200362","Adriatic SPEcies and Habitats of coastal areas","ASPEH aims to face the loss of biodiversity by defining common tools and strategy to preserve the natural heritage and the landscape in the Adriatic Area, with priority for common species and habitats protected by the 92/43/EEC and 79/409/EEC Directives. For each species and habitat identified, that are important for their ecological value, extinction concerns or endemic aspects in the Adriatic Sea, project partners will jointly develop a common conservation measures, a training activities, a concrete actions, an awareness campaign and a joint strategy. The common three species and their pilot areas are: Aythya nyroca (Natural Reserve of the State/ Protected Marine Area of Torre Guaceto), Charadrius alexandrinus (Natura 2000 site“Duna costiera nel litorale di Metaurilia – Torrette and the ZSC “Litorale della Baia del Re”) and Caretta caretta (Po Delta Veneto Regional Park); the common three habitat (with their pilot areas) are: Code 8330 Submerged or partially submerged sea caves (Natura 2000 site Vis archipelago), Code 1120 Posidonion oceanicae – Code 1140 Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide (two Natura2000 sites of Jadranska Hrvatska).

In Work Package 1, partners collaborated to develop conservation plans and initiate transnational awareness campaign focused on selected species and habitats. The first draft structure of the conservation plan was completed in July 2024 by LP, followed by further refinements through partner discussions. The final version was presented during the Kick-off Meeting held in Brindisi on 11/09/2024, which outlined tasks, deadlines, and future steps. A cross-border workshop to present the plans to stakeholders is scheduled for March 2025, with PP3 responsible for its organization.\n\nSpecific efforts in WP1 include drafting conservation plans for species such as Aythya nyroca (LP), Charadrius alexandrinus (PP2), and Caretta caretta (PP4), as well as habitats like 8330 (submerged or partially submerged sea caves, PP5). The work involves a thorough assessment of the species' conservation status, including an analysis of existing management practices within Natura 2000 sites, a review of relevant legislation, and an examination of available technical and analytical documentation. PP2 and PP5 also conducted stakeholder consultations, while other partners will do it in the Period 2 to inform the plan’s development, and the first version of the conservation plan is expected to be completed by March 2025. The PP6 is yet to begin with the work on conservation plans.\n\nThe transnational awareness campaign, led by PP3 with contributions from all partners, also began during this period. Activities include gathering photographs, videos, and informational materials, developing quizzes and games for the campaign, and creating a visual identity designed by a young graphic designer. Promotional materials are being produced, and regular updates are posted on the project’s Facebook page. Collaboration among partners ensures that the campaign is tailored to regional contexts, targeting local audiences effectively.\n\nDuring the reporting period, PP3 with support of all PPs, has been actively engaged in gathering photographs, videos, and information, all of which will be used throughout the campaign. Additionally, PP3 has developed quizzes and games for the online campaign, which will be enhanced in the coming months as the project evolves. PP3 presented the updated proposal of the campaign and its associated activities to the project partners during the meeting held in July and Kick-off meeting.  Through discussions in these meetings and email correspondence, partners collaboratively decided on the campaign's name and slogan, as well as the associated activities. Furthermore, PP3 has contracted a young graphic designer to create a visually appealing identity for the campaign that resonates with the broader public, especially the youth. This visual identity developed during this reporting period is already in use and will be used throughout the project's duration. PP3 is also in the process of designing and producing promotional materials that will be distributed during both the campaign and the project. For the online campaign, the PP3 regularly posts updates according to the detailed campaign plan on the project Facebook page.  All partners continue to collaborate on implementing the awareness campaign ensuring the campaign effectively addresses the local context and target audiences in each participating region. This collaborative approach strengthens the overall campaign strategy and promotes a cohesive message across all project partner regions. \n\nDuring the Kick-off meeting, all project partners, agreed on the concept for the cross-border workshop to present the conservation plans to the main stakeholders that is scheduled for March 2025. In this initial phase, PP5 also started the planning stakeholder participation by identifying five key representatives from its area. These representatives will attend the workshop, which will focus on sharing the conservation plans and results of the awareness campaign with other protected areas along the Adriatic coast.\n\nIn addition to these thematic activities, partners demonstrated strong engagement in project management and communication tasks. LP developed key management documents, such as the risk management plan and evaluation/monitoring plan, etc., while all partners ensured visibility of the project by publishing information on institutional websites and displaying project posters in public spaces.\n\nThe collective efforts of all partners highlight the value of cross-border cooperation, enabling the exchange of expertise and resources to achieve shared objectives in species and habitat conservation.\nIn the second reporting period, the ASPEH project marked important progress in the protection of marine and coastal biodiversity across the Adriatic region. The main achievements centered around the finalization of key conservation tools, increased stakeholder cooperation, and enhanced public awareness—laying a strong foundation for the upcoming implementation phase.\n\nThe most significant progress was made under Work Package 1, where all partners completed the first versions of their conservation plans for priority species and habitats, including the Ferruginous Duck, Kentish Plover, Loggerhead Sea Turtle, sea caves, Posidonia oceanica meadows, and intertidal flats. These scientifically grounded and context-specific plans were developed collaboratively and are ready for refinement following pilot actions. Their joint presentation and validation during a major cross-border workshop in Split on 27 March 2025, attended by over 50 stakeholders from across the region, marked another major milestone. The event not only showcased the conservation strategies but also enabled a vibrant exchange of ideas, identification of barriers, and co-design of solutions.\n\nAlongside this, the transnational awareness campaign “Adriatic Treasures” was actively launched. Coordinated by PP3, it included engaging social media content, educational games for children, and the production of over 80,000 communication materials. These efforts significantly enhanced the visibility of the project and fostered public interest in coastal biodiversity.\n\nUnder Work Package 2, partners began planning two cross-border training courses, one focused on habitat conservation and the other on species, designed to build institutional capacity for implementing the conservation measures. The planning of pilot conservation actions also began, which will translate the conservation plans into tangible restoration and monitoring efforts in the coming periods.\n\nIn terms of project management and communication, the Lead Partner ensured timely coordination of reporting activities, including the submission of all Partner Reports and the Project Report, and addressed clarifications from the Programme. Reimbursement funds were successfully received and transferred to the partners who had certified expenditures in Period 1. The LP also supported PP3 in organizing the second SC meeting in Split and continued to assist all partners with communication efforts, i.e., publishing content on the project’s Facebook page and Programme website, and actively participating in monthly communication coordination meetings organized by the Programme’s Communication Unit.\n\nThis period confirms the added value of cross-border cooperation: through shared knowledge, joint planning, and mutual support, the project has moved from planning to action with strong institutional and public engagement across Italy and Croatia.\nThe ASPEH project has now reached a stage where the foundations built in the first phases are transforming into concrete action, stronger community engagement, and deeper cooperation between Italy and Croatia. Across the reporting periods, partners have worked together to protect some of the Adriatic’s most sensitive species and habitats—such as sea turtles, sea caves, intertidal flats, Posidonia meadows, Kentish Plovers, and the Ferruginous Duck—while building a shared vision for the future of coastal conservation in the region.\n\nA major achievement so far has been the development of conservation plans for each species and habitat. These plans, represent the operational backbone of the project. Their presentation at a large cross-border event in Split brought together more than 50 institutions and stakeholders, demonstrating how countries facing similar ecological challenges can benefit from shared knowledge, common methodologies, and coordinated action.\n\nPublic awareness has grown steadily thanks to the transnational campaign “Adriatic Treasures,” led by PP3 and enriched by contributions from all partners. The campaign combined attractive visuals, educational messages, short videos, a maritime quiz, and a cross-border photo contest that received 48 submissions. Thousands of residents, students, and visitors were reached through social media, community events, children’s workshops, marine awareness days, and school programmes. Local initiatives—such as open days in protected areas, outdoor lessons, and hands-on activities—helped people understand how everyday behaviour affects ecosystems and how simple actions can support biodiversity.\n\nAnother important line of progress has been the preparation of two international training sessions, one in Croatia focused on marine habitats and one in Italy focused on target species. These trainings, developed jointly by the partners, will strengthen the skills of protected-area managers, researchers, and technicians, ensuring that conservation measures are applied effectively and consistently across the Adriatic. This shared learning process is one of the clearest examples of the added value of cross-border cooperation: experts from both countries will learn from each other, work with the same methodologies, and build long-lasting professional links.\n\nPartners have also advanced the preparatory steps for concrete environmental actions, which will be carried out in the next periods. These include monitoring of species and habitats, technical studies, planning of restoration measures, procurement of specialised services, and early interventions such as ranger presence, ecological monitoring of sea caves, and the collection of long-term data on sea turtles. Once fully implemented, these actions will directly improve the conditions of priority habitats and species in several Natura 2000 sites.\n\nIn parallel, the team has begun working on the thematic focus of joint strategy for better coordination of Italian and Croatian protected areas along the Adriatic coast. By aligning this strategy with the new EU Restoration Law, the project is ensuring that its long-term vision reflects Europe’s most ambitious environmental goals. Preparations have also started for an international event in 2026 that will bring together national and European institutions to share experiences, discuss challenges, and reinforce cooperation in the Adriatic–Ionian region.\n\nThe project’s capitalisation progressed through several concrete actions carried out by the partners. PP2 aligned its Kentish Plover Conservation Plan with existing regional and provincial management frameworks, and applied engagement methods inspired by successful past campaigns when implementing the Transnational Awareness Campaign. PP3 ensured wider reuse of project outputs by disseminating the educational games developed within ASPEH to libraries and schoolteachers, and by preparing the upcoming BIONET network meeting where ASPEH methodologies and results will be presented to a broader professional audience. PP6 transferred knowledge gained from the Split workshop to both students—through an educational activity at the Dubrovnik Gymnasium—and to professionals, by presenting the workshop’s conclusions and their relevance for improving Conservation Plans at the annual meeting of the Croatian MPA Network. These actions supported the broader uptake and practical application of ASPEH results beyond the immediate partnership.\n\nProject coordination and communication have remained strong throughout. Reporting activities were completed on time, partners were supported continuously, and the project gained visibility through its website, social media channels, public events, and institutional networks. Regular exchanges among partners—both online and in person—have strengthened trust, clarified roles, and ensured that all activities progress in a coherent and harmonised way.","Dubrovnik, Split, Ariano nel Polesine, Fano, Carovigno (BR)","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},6]
["ITHR0200245","Climate RESiliEnt COastal planning in Adriatic","Climate change requires a substantial change to city and land planning and calls for both mitigation and adaptation actions. Local and regional communities are expected to participate in the reduction of climate-altering emissions, thus contributing to a much wider global process. In parallel, they should make progress on the adaptation route that tends to be based on local needs. Climate change mitigation and adaptation should be seen as complementary processes to be incorporated and integrated into multiple policies, strategies, plans and programmes adopted at different levels and for different sector and cross-sector purposes. The local level is expected to play a great role in transforming society into a more resilient and better adapted system. This Project is aiming to provide particular knowledge on spatial planning and science for policies, practical knowledge and tools for the Adriatic local and regional communities wanting to plan resilience on climate change and improve their adaptation capacity. Better prepared cities and regions will increase the safety of their citizens and the resilience of their territory, assets and ecosystems. Also it is aiming to provide adaptation options that are exploiting new opportunities arising from changed climate conditions and favour the transformative change of society towards more sustainable systems.\nThe main outputs that are expected from the project are adaptation of spatial planning processes along with the improvement of available climate related knowledge by developing the joint IT-HR Strategic Guidelines on Spatial Planning Process Adaptation (SG); Higher education curriculum for lifelong learning for climate transition developed and climate change adaptation plans developed for Croatian and Italian pilot project areas.\nDevelopment of joint IT-HR Strategic Guidelines for spatial planning process adaptation will include the analysis of available: scientific results, approaches used, sensor systems, web-based platforms, models developed, multidisciplinary research proceeded, trend analysis, integrated adaptation solutions and forecasting as well as scenario building. Findings of analytical work will be promoted and discussed between public authorities, academic community, research institutions and private companies in order to agree on proposed vision, measures and space resilience criteria and indicators. Existing spatial planning information system will be used to generate spatial resilience indicators that will be publicly available and climate change digital spatial platform will be additionally developed as precondition for testing the planning criteria proposed in SG. Taking into consideration first step analytical findings on priority subjects, survey on sensitivity to climate change of areas of particular importance for space management will be proceeded like geomorphological research (landslide susceptibility maps, inventory of landslides), adjustment of the knowledge on vulnerability assessment of the coastal area to erosion, sea level rise, extreme hydrometeorological events, assessment of the distribution of flooding areas due to extreme climatic conditions, assessment of transformation of natural cover and habitats for pilot areas, analysis of constructions and infrastructure in flood exposed pilot areas and exchange of good practices in application of adaptation solutions to climate change on the most relevant economic sectors. A Climate Change Adaptation Plan (CCAP) is primarily expected to increase the resilience and reduce the vulnerability of a pilot area territory or community to climate change impacts. CCAP will be developed according the Integrated coastal zone management framework that will ensure that choices made for the sake of adaptation will not compromise aspects of sustainability (e.g. environment, social and economic well-being and intergenerational equity). Investments made for adapting a community and making it more resilient will maximize synergies and co-benefits (increasing or protecting biodiversity and habitat conservation, reducing air pollution, improving health conditions, creating new job opportunities, improving the quality of life).\nCCAP will include activities as setting the vision - definition of climate resilience pathways in accordance to local specificities, choosing of appropriate response, participative workshops with relevant stakeholders to agree on adaptation measures concerning: societal measures, governance, spatial planning, sustainable spatial development in coastal area (rational use of coastal space, protecting coastal landscape values, improving quality of the built environment);-green measures, (measures for areas subject to coastal linear urbanization, narrow coastal belt measures); grey measures, defining the risks on coastal flooding and management, coastal protection and defense structures, raising and extending coastal land, municipal coastal infrastructure adaptation etc.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

The main challenges revolved around contracting issues that postponed the start of several key activities, leading to shifts in deliverable timelines.\n\nEFRI took the lead in organizing and managing communication between project partners, including the coordination meeting held with GRADRI and IPP PGC on July 22, 2024, which was instrumental in clarifying project goals and revising the timeline for deliverables. This meeting allowed for the identification of necessary adjustments in the work plan and helped ensure that all partners were prepared for the upcoming phase of activities.\n\nIn terms of deliverables, although none were finalized in this period due to the delays, EFRI played a crucial role in preparing the groundwork for future outputs. This included overseeing the integration of contributions from different partners and ensuring that their work would feed into the upcoming strategic guidelines and adaptation plans. EFRI also supported the development of the educational components of the project, which align with its Microqualification program \"Recognizing Environmental Changes and Risk Management.\" These efforts are set to enhance local capacities for climate adaptation and resilience.\n\nAdditionally, the University of Camerino (UNICAM) has made progress in developing a Master's program that aligns with the objectives of the CRESCO Adria project, as detailed in the attached program documentation. This initiative complements EFRI’s efforts in creating educational frameworks that build regional capacities for climate resilience and adaptation, further enhancing the impact of the project.\n\nEFRI has also been actively involved in planning the thematic workshops and roundtables, which will be key for engaging stakeholders. The first roundtable, scheduled for October 15, 2024, will be organized by GRADRI. This event will be critical in refining adaptation strategies and ensuring that the project's outputs are tailored to the needs of local communities.\n\nAlthough EFRI experienced delays in staffing two project members due to initial contracting issues, this is now being addressed, and these positions will be filled in the next reporting period. This will ensure that EFRI has the necessary capacity to support both its internal tasks and its role as Lead Partner in coordinating project-wide activities.\n\nIn summary, despite delays in the formal start of activities, EFRI has made important strides in laying the groundwork for future project outputs and ensuring strong collaboration between all partners. This preparation phase has been essential to align the project’s objectives with the realities of climate adaptation in the Adriatic region, ensuring the smooth execution of the next phases of the CRESCO Adria project.\nDuring the second reporting period, the CRESCO Adria project significantly advanced its cross-border efforts to build climate resilience in coastal areas of Croatia and Italy. \nIn Work Package 1 (WP1), the project achieved a series of important technical and organizational milestones. The State-of-the-Art Analysis (D.1.1.1) progressed with inputs from both Croatian and Italian partners, providing a comprehensive overview of existing climate-related planning tools, data sources, and institutional frameworks. \nStakeholder engagement also advanced through the implementation of national thematic workshops (D.1.2.1) held in both Croatia and Italy. These events brought together representatives from public institutions, research organizations, and civil society.\nThe development of the Spatial Climate Change Database (D.1.3.1) moved forward with the selection of relevant climate and spatial indicators. Partners from both sides of the border collaborated to define a shared architecture for the data platform, ensuring that future analyses will be interoperable and applicable across national contexts.\nPerhaps the most substantial technical output under WP1 was the finalization and upload of deliverables related to the climate sensitivity assessment (Activity A.1.4). This includes: D.1.4.2 – Inventory of Landslides, featuring terrain-based detection and GIS mapping, D.1.4.4 – Distribution of Flooding Areas, based on hydrological modelling using long-term precipitation data, D.1.4.5 – Assessment of Transformation of Natural Cover and Habitats, a joint deliverable integrating analyses from multiple pilot areas, and D.1.4.6 – Coastal Vulnerability Assessment, providing spatial insights into sea-level rise risks and erosion exposure.\nUnder Activity A.1.5, cooperation was strengthened through bilateral and joint technical meetings, facilitating harmonized methodologies and ensuring consistency across national outputs. Planning also progressed for Activity A.1.6, focusing on the Strategic Guidelines for Spatial Planning. Partners initiated public procurement for expert services and conducted literature reviews to identify best practices from other EU-funded adaptation initiatives.\nWork on financial (A.1.7) and day-to-day project management (A.1.8) continued steadily across all institutions. Internal monitoring tools and budget controls were implemented to ensure transparency and compliance with Interreg rules. \nIn Work Package 2 (WP2), the project saw marked progress in the development of cross-border educational programs. EFRI finalized and secured internal approval for the micro-qualification program “Environmental Change Detection and Risk Management”, which spans 18 ECTS and integrates themes from economics, environmental science, and risk management. The program is designed to be delivered in a hybrid format and targets both students and professionals seeking practical knowledge on climate change adaptation.\nAt the same time, UNICAM designed and scheduled its postgraduate module titled “Soil and Water Risk Reduction in Cities and Territories Adapting to Climate Change” as part of its second-level Master's program. This module is planned for April–May 2025 and aims to enhance interdisciplinary skills related to territorial governance and environmental resilience. The Abruzzo Region (ABREG) contributed content to this module, specifically focusing on hydrogeological risks and relevant EU projects. These developments directly support Activities A.2.1, A.2.2, and A.2.3, and are laying the foundation for the project’s long-term legacy in education and institutional capacity building.\nIn Work Package 3 (WP3), conceptual work progressed toward the creation of pilot adaptation plans for each site. Partners jointly advanced Deliverable D.3.1.1 – State-of-the-Art Analysis, with Croatian partners focusing on governance and data infrastructure, and Italian partners (UNICAM, ABREG) launching stakeholder outreach and policy review. The bilateral nature of this work ensures that upcoming adaptation plans will reflect both local conditions and shared regional risks.\nPlanning and methodology were further advanced under Activity A.3.2, with stakeholder identification and agenda design completed for the first participatory workshop, which is scheduled to take place in the Municipality of Sali on 18 June 2025. \nEarly frameworks were outlined for adaptation plans in Sali and Crikvenica (D.3.5.1 and D.3.5.2), emphasizing participatory principles and alignment with climate vulnerability assessments.\nThroughout the period, coordination meetings, both online and in-person, were held regularly between Croatian and Italian partners. UNICAM and ABREG maintained strong engagement with EFRI and participated in bilateral planning for upcoming workshops and data integration activities. An important bilateral meeting between UNICAM and the Abruzzo Region is also scheduled for 14 July 2025 in Ascoli Piceno.\n\nIn this period we moved from groundwork to shared, usable results across Croatia and Italy. Our objective was to give municipalities a clear picture of climate risks and a practical way to choose solutions—then engage people locally and turn knowledge into training. That is exactly what we advanced in PR3.\n\nEvidence and methods (WP1). We built a common baseline for all pilot areas so decisions can be made on the same footing. Partners prepared comparable analyses that show where coasts, people and services are most exposed (landslide inventories, maps of flood-prone areas, coastal vulnerability assessments, and mapping of buildings and infrastructure in flood-exposed zones). A simple set of criteria for comparing measures was drafted so choices can be weighed transparently. A cross-border exchange of good practices helped translate these findings into steps that local planners can actually use. We produced two deliverables in PR3: . Earlier WP1 evidence used as background remains available: D1.1.1 – State of the Art Analysis and D1.2.1 – Reports on Thematic Workshops.\n\n\nEducation and exchange (WP2). The University of Rijeka secured full accreditation for a new lifelong-learning programme on environmental change and risk management and finalised the first modules for hybrid delivery. The University of Camerino delivered a linked postgraduate module and launched a design/planning lab focused on the Italian pilots. Two high-visibility events—the ARCCHIVES conference (Rijeka) and a cross-border academic exchange (Ascoli Piceno)—aligned learning outcomes and teaching materials for future joint delivery. \n\nParticipation and planning (WP3). We completed a cross-border state-of-the-art analysis for all pilots (Crikvenica, Sali, Nuova Pescara, Pineto) and held six stakeholder workshops that confirmed local hotspots and prioritised governance tools, nature-based solutions, and targeted infrastructure upgrades. Partners launched survey preparation so new data will measure what stakeholders said matters most, and we agreed the structure of the local adaptation plans so drafting can start quickly in the next period. Two outputs were finalised and uploaded: D3.1.1 – State of the Art Analysis (WP3/A3.1) and D3.2.1 – Reports on Workshops (WP3/A3.2)\n\nCourses and materials are being shaped so they can travel across institutions, making skills and solutions transferable on both sides of the Adriatic.","Ascoli Piceno, Pescara, Crikvenica, Sali, Rijeka","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},7]
["ITHR0200306","DIGITal Twins applications for safer and greener Adriatic PORTS operations","Adriatic Ports have experienced a wave of digitalization and automation initiatives in the last five years, to adapt to the pressure on efficiency caused by competition, the post-pandemic effects on global supply chains resilience and cost structures, the scale expansion of container shipping and logistics, the higher accountability requiste of ports operations due to proximity of city centers and negative externalities and, in general, a greater demand for transparency and objective measurements of pollutants, connected also to EU revision of public procurement schemes for concessions. \n\nItalian and Croatian Port Authorities act as public body regulators of ports operations and strive for creating the baseline conditions for a safer, greener and more sustainable competitive port system. However, the pace of digital transformation in the maritime industry is still slow due to industry-specific characteristics, such as high asset costs, high development costs, aging workforce and strict regulations, negatively impacting the ability to digitize effectively. Also, due to the traditional set-up of the organizations, conventional players often lack the skills for successful digital adoption.\n\nCommon problems to be tackled are twofold: reducing operational costs and carbon footprint (both on container, passengers and multipurpose terminals) with the use of lesser public resources. \nDIGITPORTS aims to lead the full digital transition of Adriatic Ports through the adoption of a common strategy on applications of Digital Twin, creating a network of digital support - decision making tools, to be used at local and cross-border level. \nDIGITPORTS will adopt a common strategy to assure a quality and scalability of the digital tools put in place, helping port authorities to achieve full digitalization of administrative procedures and planning, striving for decarbonization of transport and better use of resources; developing new digital tools for training and planning activities (different levels of entry points: creation of digital mapping, software model development, integration of existing databases etc).\n\nThe operations are complex, as they depend on many external variables (weather conditions, ETA of vessels, trains, trucks, the efficiency of loading /unloading, allocation of staffing and manpower, spatial resources and equipment , mechanical failures and uncertainty of vessel arrivals have the greatest impact on yard operations due to the tight and complex schedule, leading to congestion and transshipment). All these complex operation ecosystem , if not properly managed, can lead to the congestion of the urban nodes in proximity of ports.\n\nTherefore even if Adriatic Port Authorities, as public bodies, do not directly operate the ports' terminals (they tender public concessions to private undertakers to perform such activities), they must avoid such situations , not only because they are in charge for good allocation of public assets, such as port quays and logistic areas, but primarly because they are local engines for economic growth, with ever growing interdependencies on safety, security, environmental impacts and strategic planning beyond the ports areas.\n\nAdriatic ports should therefore strive to evolve from a fixed daily scheduling operational model to a dynamic scheduling support system, that can take into consideration the numerous variables and constraints (for example it could be, for Venice Port, the closures of the MoSE flooding barriers, for other ports like Ravenna could be foggy weather, for other ports like Trieste and Rijeka could be strong winds, etc). \nImproving schedule reliability will, in turn, increase port operational efficiency overall, facilitating vessel speed optimization and thus reducing CO2 emissions.\n\nDIGITPORTS will for the first time focus on the application of Digital Twins (DT) to port ecosystems. \nDT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help in switching to data-led decision making process: \n1) to plan and develop sustainable business strategies for land and sea port operations and real estate valorization (e.g. ship arrival and departing scheduling tool); \n2) to reduce costs for maintenance of real estate port buildings and quays, based of predictive maintenance schemes (e.g. use of sensors and drones for monitoring purposes); \n3) to use DT to support the territorial management, in particular about: managing concessions fees, bathymetries and predictive mainatance and dredging, Port Reservation System for efficient and safe berthing allocation, better gates management, just to name a few. These pilot DT tools must be capable to integrate big amounts of data within complex contexts and the evolution of a web based GIS (Geographical Information System) that encompasses both administrative, economical, environmental, structural and operational model replica of the real port.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

To sum up, \n- Internally assignements and administrative procedures in order to start up activities within DIGITPORTS project (e.g. bugdet assignment, staff list, Italian PPs requested master CUP and normal CUPs, along with several communications with MA concerning Subsidy Contract and Partnership Agreement, collection of bank accounts, and related financial matters).\n- Public procurements have been carried out by Italian Partners in order to externalise services as for Financial\nManager and FLC, comprising the validation request to Regione del Veneto; \n- LP NASPA has organized the KOM, kick-off meeting, which was held in Venice on July 4th and 5th, 2024,. All PPs except of PP5 Ploce PA and PP7 Split PA (remote connection) attended inperson. All PPs have agreed on minutes and setting up of PMU Project Management Unit with appointed delegates by PPs.\nConcerning Communication Activities, in the 1st RP LP NASPA has started the public procurement to\nappoint 1 Communication manager and 1 Web Administrator. The Contract with the external provider (ADV CREATIVI srl) has been signed on 30/09/2024 and therefore, the Communication activities have 6 months delay. So, the Project Communication Plan will be uploaded in 2RP.\nAll the PPs have correctly printed and displayed the project posters at their offices, as well as published the news about the funding received for the project from the Italy-Croatia Program on their websites.\nDuring the 2nd period of project implementation, LP NASPA with the help of ESRI Italia, industry worldwide leaders in geo-based cartographic data analysis, and the data collected by the partners via a specific questionnaire, finalized the \"D.1.1.1 Cross-border benchmarking report on digitalization level of the Adriatic Ports\", analyzing the AS‐IS scenario on digitalization level in the ports' areas and benchmarking them with best international practices of global industry leaders like the Port of Rotterdam, Singapore, and Shanghai with their best practices in adopting digital twins, AI-driven logistics, and IoT-enabled automation. These ports demonstrate the transformative potential of advanced technologies, strong interoperability, and\nrobust sustainability initiatives. The insights from these benchmarks provide a roadmap for Adriatic\nports to elevate their operations to international standards.\nHigh-level Training on Digital Twin applications in Port ecosystems was organized by LP in Venice on\nJanuary 28th 2025 and a follow up on 17/02 online. the results have been summarized in \"D.1.2.1 Technical report on replicability of best practices and training\". Three separate sessions targeted a broader audience, reaching out not only on port authorities’ professionals and civil servants, but catching attention of SMEs' professionals, such as Chief Information officers, engineers, university professors and more with a total participation of 136 people. The event helped mainstream the potentialities of DT and set a common baseline of understanding of the requirements. The scope was to involve all lines of work, from technical to more legal, administrative, financial and commercial departments. Training sessions explored crucial topics for the future of port terminals and logistics in general, alongside a panel of internationally renowned experts, using\nboth theoretical and practical examples of best practices implemented around the world, spanning\nfrom Europe (Ports of Rotterdam and Sines) to United States (Boston and others) and Australia. So, the good outcome of the training led to over-achievement of OUTPUT 1.2 DIGITALIZATION KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER (declared TV: 35 participations) for which, actually, the target value was over exceeded by total of 136 participants to training sessions. \n\nThe last step, closing the initial assessment phase was finalized  jointly with the \"D. 1.3.1Common Strategic Position Paper on how to improve Digital Twin applications in Adriatic ports\", which reccomends to initiate pilot projects for digital twins, IoT devices, and AI-powered analytics in operational areas like cargo handling (operated by private companies on a concessions scheme) and assets and resource management; establish cross-border data-sharing frameworks and foster collaborative projects to leverage shared resources and knowledge; conduct comprehensive staff training programs to bridge skill gaps and enhance technological readiness; to clearly state advantages of a DT modelling adoption so that all stakeholders (internal and external) can trust the process, which requires sharing, transparency, trust and accountability and commit to an unprecedented organizational change driver.\n\nAs concerns WP2, in particular for Act.2.2. Testing of pilot actions and technical evaluation of the DT\npilots by Scientific Board, LP NASPA started implementation of pilot action with the responsible departments\n(Maritime state concessions' dept; Digital Innovation and digital Transition Dept, under the\nsupervision of the sole responsible manager, the Secretary General).\n\nTraining activities have had high visibility on social media , in particular with professional network of LinkedIn DIGITPORTS project profile (with 9 videos produced ad hoc for the follow up campaign), the LP and the Project's websites and 4 articles on thematic media. The latter stemming from the Joint Press Release made with CRESPORT project.\n\nThe first project specific objective (SO) “BENCHMARKING DIGITALIZATION LEVEL OF ADRIATIC PORTS, KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND CO-DESIGN OF CROSS BORDER STRATEGY FOR DIGITAL TWIN APPLICATIONS” pursued in the WP1 has been almost fully achieved , and will be completely reported in 3rd RP due to the late cooperation of PP7 Split PA. The other 2 SO, namely WP2 IMPROVING GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS OF ADRIATIC PORTS AND REDUCING NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBOURING CITIES WITH THE USE OF DIGITAL TWINS APPLICATIONS FOR DAILY OPERATIONS, PREDICTIVE MAINTANANCE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING and WP3 SETTING THE SCENE FOR FULL DIGITALIZATION OF ADRIATIC PORTS’ INTERMODAL SERVICES:\nJOINT ACTION PLAN AND POLITICAL COMMITMENT FOR TACKLING COMMON OPERATIONS AND\nPORT-CITY FUTURE CHALLENGES will be achieved at a later stage of project’s implementation, when the 7 Pilot actions (of which 3 investments) will be finalized and presented to the port communities, cities and stakeholders for further commitment in digitalization processes of Port Authorities in the future years. \n\nThe purpose of the DIGITPORTS project is to boost the competitiveness of maritime transport with digitalization tools (Digital Twins - DT) to enhance planning capabilities, operational sustainability and performance of Italian and Croatian ports, creating a scalable DT logistic network in the Adriatic basin. These are crucial challenges that must be addressed in a scalable and sustainable way, capable of producing a cultural change toward a “data-driven” port management. \nAlthough Adriatic Port Authorities don't directly manage terminals, they must ensure efficient operations due to their role in public asset allocation and their key impact on local economic growth, which includes also strategic planning beyond port boundaries.  \n\n\nThe partners have completed the assessment of the actual state of digitalization level in the respective ports' areas and their benchmarking with best international practices, esp. the Port of Rotterdam, followed by a high level training session, which full proceedings set are made available for free on DIGITPORTS website. The activities have then moved on to the core of the cross-border strategy for DT applications in Adriatic ports with Italian and Croatian ports starting with testing the applications of Digital Twins technologies (real-life replica of the ports’ environment and procedures). \n\n\nThe Digital Twins are applied to several domains, e.g. to the ports buildings and assets for predictive maintenance or to simplify administrative budens for private undertakers to get a public concession (like in the port of Venice), to get a 3d model of bathymetries to gain more knowledge on actual nautical accessibility and enhance safety of shipping (like in the port of Trieste and Rijeka). Two algorithm-led scheduling tools for optimizing entry/exit from the ports of Zadar and Split to upgrade berthing occupancy level, ultimately lowering operational costs and carbon footprint (both on container, passengers and multipurpose terminals) and reducing use of public resources. \n\n\nTo get a flavour of what DIGITPORTS benefits will be, on the webiste two important tools for the dissemination and communication of the project are available: the video teaser, illustrating the project idea and the digital project flyer, highlighting its objectives, describing how a  Digital Twin technology integrated with GIS (Geographical Information System) can be benificial for port enviroments and emphasising its positive impact on port ecosystems and the future of digitised maritime logistics in the Adriatic basin in terms of planning, decision-making, operational performance, safety and sustainability. \n\n\nIn 3RP core pilot activities were concluded at the port of Venice and almost finished at the port of Rijeka. Other ports (Ravenna, Trieste, Ploce, Zadar and Split) are in the final stages of procurement phase. All partners have started drafting the descriptive Report 2.2.1-2.27 that will be concluded in 5th RP while, with the help of WP2 Coordinator, PP3 Port of Ravenna, everyone contributed to final Co-design of the Pilot actions (D.2.1.2). The document, available on DIGITPORTS webiste lybrary section explains in a clear and non -technical way what are the seven pilots and investments about, who will be involved , what kind of stakeholders will be most beneficial and set the baseline for future analysis on the effectiveness of such initiatives, that will be also mainstreamed by senior professionals , one Italian and one Croatian native speaker, that have been appointed in the Scientific Board , whose main role is to guide the robusteness of data and methodology and to assess the results.\n","Split, Zadar, Ploče, Rijeka , Ravenna , Trieste, Venezia ","HR, IT",null,"Hrvatska (HR), Ploce , Trg kralja Tomislava , 21, 20340\nHrvatska (HR), Zadar, Gazenicka cesta, 28c, 23000\nHrvatska (HR), Split , Port of Split Authority, Gat sv.

["ITHR0200399","UNDerwatER Soundscape bEyond Ais","The UNDERSEA project aims to promote sustainable growth in the Adriatic Sea region by enhancing the cross-border system for monitoring, evaluating, and mitigating human-generated underwater noise pollution. \n\nThe United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea recognizes underwater noise as a pollutant of international concern, while the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) specifically addresses noise pollution and mandates EU member states to monitor and mitigate it to achieve good environmental status for the marine environment. \n\nUnderwater pollution generated by human activities such as maritime transport, tourism, fishery and resource exploitation have detrimental effects on marine fauna; this is increasingly concerning, considering that underwater noise levels have doubled within EU waters and in particular in the Adriatic Sea between 2014 and \n\n2019. \n\nThe underwater soundscape includes both natural and human-generated sounds that can travel long distances and impact marine species and ecosystems beyond national boundaries. The reduction and mitigation of underwater noise pollution generated by human activities is a challenge that requires a transnational approach. \n\nUNDERSEA will implement the monitoring network for underwater sound measurements covering the whole Adriatic Sea. The project will introduce innovations crucial for effective noise monitoring and mapping including new noise sources taking into account the Adriatic Sea's peculiar characteristics. \nThe project will run dedicated experiments to evaluate noise levels produced by boating involved in tourism and local fishery using satellite data to define small boat geographical distribution, developing tools for a comprehensive evaluation of noise irradiated by small boats. This type of evaluation has never been specifically carried out before in any EU underwater sound assessment. \n\nCross-border cooperation is crucial for effective underwater noise pollution monitoring and mitigation activities: for this reason, to improve the evaluation of the Adriatic soundscape, UNDERSEA will standardise and share data collection, analysis procedures and noise distribution maps to increase knowledge and promote sustainable and widely agreed-upon mitigation efforts across the whole Adriatic basin. The Programme area requires the validation of mitigation measures that can effectively protect and restore biodiversity, which can only be achieved through common efforts. \n\nThe outcomes of the entire project will be consolidated to create a brand new initiative that focuses on innovating and integrating modeling with new risk indicators. This will offer novel tools for managing the sea, coastal environment, and shared natural resources across borders. \n\nUNDERSEA project builds on the successes of the SOUNDSCAPE project expanding data collection geographically, temporally, and in scope to improve knowledge of underwater noise pollution and set up effective area-based conservation measures.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

The event included a training session to guide participants on implementing a monitoring system using autonomous passive underwater acoustic recorders. This session shared experiences from the SOUNDSCAPE project, contributing to O1.2, which provides training for new partner operators. The first training took place during the KoM; Arpa Puglia participated online; the target of 16 was reached for the participants, but the updated document will be uploaded in reporting period 2.  \n\nDetails of the meeting are documented in 'Deliverable D1.1.2: Report on Training Session and Kickoff Meeting.' Several interviews with UNDERSEA partners were prepared and shared on social media during this event. \n\nThe primary goal of the UNDERSEA project is to enhance cross-border collaboration between Italian and Croatian institutes for monitoring and mitigating human-generated underwater noise in the Adriatic Sea, including deep-sea regions. Two online technical meetings (May 24 and June 20, 2024) focused on selecting new monitoring station locations in the Apulian seawater body with ARPA Puglia. The finalized 'Deliverable D1.1.1: Joint Action Plan on Underwater Sound Monitoring Network Implementation' outlines the monitoring network, which includes the Southern Adriatic Sea, the Venice Lagoon, a new marine protected area (MPA), and a Natura 2000 site. A preliminary meeting on acquiring new equipment was held on May 17, 2024, and details of the equipment to be used throughout the project are included in D1.1.1. \n\nAdditionally, 'Deliverable D1.1.3: Risk and Contingency Plan' was prepared, offering a comprehensive risk management strategy for the project. This plan includes tools, processes, and procedures to handle potential adverse situations that may impact project progress. \n\nAct. 1.2 commenced with an online preliminary meeting on May 9, 2024, involving all partners. The available instruments were calibrated in controlled conditions at Lake Bracciano (Rome) in June 2024 to prepare them for field monitoring. The calibration results were discussed in a virtual technical meeting on July 9, 2024. Fieldwork activities were documented and shared on social media. \n\nIn Act. 2.1, the workflow for satellite-based small boat detection was successfully completed, and 'Deliverable 2.1.1: Report on the Workflow for Satellite-Based Small Boat Detection' was finalized by LP-CNR. This document outlines key procedures for developing a system to assess water traffic through small boat detection using high-resolution satellite images in coastal areas. It includes a comprehensive review of current methodologies and quantifies Sentinel-2, Landsat 8 and 9, and PlanetScope images over the Venice lagoon, highlighting image availability and quality over the year, with a focus on the impact of weather conditions. The deliverable also details the workflow for processing these images, including methods for validating and quantifying water traffic patterns. \n\nAct. 2.3 and 2.4, involving the development of a Citizen Science App to validate satellite data and comparing satellite-based assessments with independent data, have also begun, with several meetings held to support their progress. \n\nWithin WP3, Activity 3.2 began with discussions aimed at identifying locations for monitoring stations in the Venice Lagoon to assess the source levels of small boat noise. \n\nAct. 4.1, focused on developing a call reference library for species of interest, has begun with online research into scientific literature and the exploration of existing data. The goal is to create a shared reference library of echolocation click types associated with regional odontocetes. Activity 4.4, \"Different Waves Performances,\" also began with initial discussions to organize art events in various locations. \n\nIn WP5, both Activity 5.1 (Soundscape Modeling in the Adriatic Sea) and Activity 5.2 (Soundscape Modeling in the Venice Lagoon) have commenced. Several meetings have been held to establish the specific requirements for contracting a service provider to conduct modeling in these areas. \n\nThe UNDERSEA project has been presented at several public events. On April 22, 2024, it was featured at a Blue Mission event celebrating Earth Day, organized by the Public Institution for the Management of Protected Natural Areas of Dubrovnik-Neretva County. In May 2024, Dr. Natalija Dunic (IOR) was interviewed by the educational portal srednja.hr about the project, and a podcast is available on YouTube. BWI organized a lecture, \"Sea of Noise,\" as part of the World Ocean Day celebration in Lošinj, Croatia, on June 8, 2024, held at the Museum Apoxyomenus. A similar event took place on July 2, 2024, at the Lošinj Marine Educational Center as part of BWI’s Open Days. Project details are available on the websites of BWI, CNR, and ARPA, and the project has also established its presence on Facebook and YouTube \nIn December 2024, CNR and ARPA FVG successfully calibrated and deployed autonomous acoustic recorders, with additional indoor tests planned before full-scale deployment. Monitoring stations have been established in Ancona, Venice, Susak, and at the Piattaforma del Paguro, while long-term monitoring in the South Adriatic Pit has continued. However, administrative delays slowed progress in Split, Koločep, and West Istria, where IOR only received final authorization in January 2025. Once approved, it was able to acquire the necessary equipment, including mooring buoys and recorder batteries.\n\nEfforts to improve data integration have also been a priority. CNR-ISMAR collaborated with IOR to update the SOUNDSCAPE web application, ensuring compatibility with RTSys systems and incorporating calibration results from Develogic systems. Comparative analyses of different data processing software were conducted to enhance analytical accuracy. Meanwhile, CNR-ISMAR finalized the procurement of buoys for the PNRR ITINERIS project, with deployment in the Venice Lagoon expected in late spring, pending Coast Guard approval. Additionally, plans are underway to install a fixed recording system near St. Mark’s Basin, integrating acoustic monitoring with webcam imagery to provide a more comprehensive environmental assessment.\n\nBeyond monitoring, significant efforts have gone into understanding vessel traffic and its impact on underwater soundscapes. The development of an automatic boat detection system using satellite imagery is progressing, but delays in accessing the required images have pushed completion to July 2025. Once the data is available, preliminary training of the detection model will commence. Financial constraints at CNR have also impacted the development of a public engagement app, delaying associated analyses of boat traffic using webcam data. This has in turn affected a planned case study in Venice, originally scheduled for 2025. To mitigate these challenges, priority has shifted to testing satellite processing speed as a means of evaluating large-scale monitoring capabilities.\n\nThe project is also focusing on assessing the impact of fishing vessels and small boats on underwater noise pollution. In Ancona, CNR-IRBIM developed and implemented a noise measurement protocol, while efforts to study small boat noise in the Venice Lagoon have commenced despite initial delays. An innovative collaboration with the TBA21 Foundation has further expanded the project’s scope, integrating marine acoustics research with artistic exploration to foster public engagement. However, plans for the \"Noise Clean Up\" training events have been postponed due to difficulties in acquiring the Citizen Science app, which is essential for outreach and stakeholder involvement.\n\nAnother key aspect of the project is the creation of a sound library dedicated to cetacean species in the Adriatic Sea. The Croatian Natural History Museum has been actively researching scientific literature and analyzing existing acoustic datasets to support the classification of Adriatic biophony. These efforts will contribute to the development of a valuable reference tool for conservation and scientific purposes.\n\nIn parallel, soundscape modeling for both the Adriatic Sea and the Venice Lagoon has been implemented. The necessary instruments and environmental data for propagation models have been secured, and optimal monitoring windows have been identified to ensure reliable data collection. Dissemination efforts have also been fruitful, with the publication of the open-access study \"Satellite-Based Monitoring of Small Boats for Environmental Studies: A Systematic Review\" in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (2025). Public engagement activities have included the deployment of a recording device on MS5 Susak, an article in the local journal Pomorac, the Summer Nautic School in Rimini (August 2024), and marine pollution education sessions for middle school students in January 2025.\n\nTo raise awareness about the issue of underwater acoustic pollution, Fondazione Cetacea issued press releases and participated in various public events where it showcased the objectives and findings of the UNDERSEA project. In addition, Dr. Hrvoje Mihanović from IOR contributed to the discussion on underwater noise monitoring during the IOR Symposium in November 2024, and CNR participated at a workshop in Trieste in October 2024.  \n\nTo ensure effective coordination among all partners, regular monthly meetings and specialized planning sessions were held. These discussions proved crucial in addressing technical challenges, sharing findings, and navigating complex administrative procedures such as the procurement of equipment and the approval of necessary permits.  \nWP1 – Monitoring and Cross-Border Operations\nDuring the third reporting period, the UNDERSEA project consolidated and expanded monitoring, modelling, and engagement across the Adriatic. Acoustic operations were strengthened through multi-site deployments in Italy and Croatia. CNR extended its network near Dubrovnik and Split; ARPA FVG and ARPA Puglia maintained long-term coastal and MPA recordings. Fondazione Cetacea completed recovery and redeployment cycles at the Paguro wreck, while Blue World Institute restored its Susak station and launched a new deep-water site at Jabuka Pit with CNHM. After completing permits, IOR began full operations in Split, West Istria, and Koločep with PIDNC/DNZ, ensuring regular deployments.\nCross-border added value: Italian and Croatian partners (CNR, ARPA FVG, ARPA Puglia, BWI, IOR, CNHM, PIDNC/DNZ) jointly operate and calibrate stations, ensuring harmonized methodologies and shared databases. Data from both sides (e.g. Susak, Jabuka Pit, Paguro, Torre Guaceto, Venice) feed common analyses on soundscape and biodiversity.\nThe project focuses on Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) – sound produced by vessels, measured to assess impacts on marine life. Eleven permanent and temporary acoustic stations now operate across Italy and Croatia (Venice, Paguro, Torre Guaceto, Miramare, Split, Dubrovnik, Susak, Jabuka Pit, etc.).\n\nWP2 – Technological Development and Vessel Detection\nProgress continued in developing tools for vessel detection. CNR finalized a satellite-based small-boat detector, validated with webcam and land-based data, and initiated systematic processing of satellite images for the Venice Lagoon (O2.1 – Satellite-based monitoring of non-AIS traffic). Procurement of the citizen-science app advanced, preparing integration into training and engagement activities. Source-level measurements on fishing vessels continued, and preparations progressed for a Venice fixed station combining acoustic and video monitoring.\nLarge ships are tracked through AIS (Automatic Identification System), transmitting positions via radio signals. UNDERSEA compares AIS data with satellite detections and aims to track small boats via the new mobile app (WP2–WP3).\nCross-border added value: System developed by CNR (Italy) and validated with Croatian webcam/theodolite data, ensuring interoperability across Adriatic sites.\n\nWP3 – Modelling and Data Integration\nModelling activities advanced through the consolidation of bathymetric, sediment, environmental, and AIS datasets, plus in situ measurement campaigns around Dubrovnik and the Elafiti Islands. These data feed regional soundscape models.\nCross-border added value: Shared data and joint calibration between CNR (Italy) and BWI (Croatia) improve comparability.\nDeliverable D.3.1.1 – Report on source level assessment for fishing boats is expected by October 2025.\n\nWP4 – Mid-Term Events and Public Engagement\nThe Mid-Term Meeting in Dubrovnik was a highlight, combining a scientific conference, bioacoustics workshop, and Different Waves performance, offering a multidisciplinary platform to discuss underwater noise and involve broader audiences.\n\nO4.1 – Preliminary reference library of cetacean clicks compiled from literature and Adriatic datasets, presented at the workshop.\nO4.3 – International Mid-Term Conference and Bioacoustics Workshop (Dubrovnik, 9–10 July 2025) with experts and institutions from both countries.\nO4.4 – “Different Waves” performances: first event held in Dubrovnik.\nCross-border added value: O4.1 jointly developed by BWI, CNHM, and CNR, creating the first binational Adriatic database of cetacean echolocation clicks. O4.2–O4.3 co-organized by Italian and Croatian partners, strengthening regional scientific capacity and methodological alignment.\nThe Midterm Conference and Workshop gathered 80+ participants from both Adriatic sides. During this period, partners published 11 scientific and outreach articles in local, national, and international media, and involved citizens and policymakers through cultural-scientific performances in Cork (European Maritime Day 2025) and Dubrovnik.\n\nWP5 – Outreach and Dissemination\nOutreach was reinforced through participation in external events, 11 publications in scientific and general media, and educational workshops on underwater noise and robotics, engaging both academic and school audiences.\n\nThe third reporting period marks a phase of consolidation and expansion for UNDERSEA. Monitoring networks are now fully operational across multiple Adriatic sites; new technologies for vessel detection and noise assessment have advanced; and engagement has deepened through high-visibility events and educational actions. The project has strengthened cross-border scientific cooperation, ensuring harmonized monitoring, shared databases, and enhanced regional capacity to assess and mitigate underwater noise impacts.","ZAGREB, Dubrovnik, Bari, Riccione, Trieste, Split, Veli Lošinj, VENEZIA","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

["ITHR0400193","Strengthening institutional collaboration on surveillance and enforcement in coastal and marine Natura 2000 sites","Protected areas are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation, but they also secure the well-being of humanity itself. Well managed protected areas deliver a wide range of benefits far beyond their boundaries, which can be translated into cumulative advantages across a national economy. Better managed, connected, governed, and financed protected areas are recognized also as the key climate change mitigation and adaptation responses. Following global and EU conservation strategies, in recent years a substantial effort was put on the establishment of new protected areas and management planning. Solid international and national legal framework has been built to protect nature and restore its natural capital, especially through the Natura 2000 network establishment. However, improving on the ground management effectiveness represents a future main challenge. On EU level management of possible impacts of new projects and plans if somewhat already developed through Environmental Impact assessment (EIA) procedures, while control of everyday human activities that impact Natura 2000 sites remains an issue to be solved. Surveillance and enforcement are an essential component in management effectiveness. Marine and coastal protected areas are particularly challenging due to many different institutions having the authority over the sea. Thus, improvement of surveillance and enforcement require concerted efforts of many institutions involved, as well as cooperation on national, regional, and international levels. Strengthening cooperation between Croatia and Italy is crucial for effectively addressing environmental problems connected to the sea that countries share and ensuring an improved status of the marine and coastal environment. Cross border cooperation in surveillance and enforcement will ensure experience, data and information sharing, and thus will lead to more effective protection on the ground. The overall project objective is to increase collaboration within institutions involved in the surveillance and enforcement to improve governance of the coastal and marine Natura 2000 network. It will be achieved by performing institutional and legal framework analysis of existing capacities to control priority pressures arising from human activities, building the capacities and cooperation of competent institutions involved, developing and disseminating possible solutions and recommendation for improving surveillance and enforcement. Core aspects of proposed solutions will be summarized in declaration that will be a basis for future collaboration among Croatian and Italian institutions. Innovative project approach includes planning of joint demonstrative collaborative surveillance actions in Natura 2000 sites, to showcase in practice how collaboration can contribute to surveillance and enforcement efficiency. Communication activities will be used to increase understanding of decision makers and key stakeholders of the steps needed to improve enforcement and surveillance as a basis for marine and coastal Natura 2000 efficiency.","2023-08-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

These areas are vital for healthy marine ecosystems and climate change tackling. The main benefit that came from this project is stronger cooperation between countries and institutions to better protect our shared sea and coastlines. It contributed to more effective surveillance and enforcement that protect marine ecosystems on the ground, from illegal fishing activities, free anchoring of boats and fires in coastal areas. The main project recommendation and achievements ensured an improved status of the marine and coastal environment that boost local economy and contribute to a better quality of life for communities living near the sea.\n\nThe project focused on improving the on-the-ground management of Natura 2000 sites by bringing together different institutions, especially those responsible for enforcement and surveillance at sea. It really nourished collaboration and stakeholder involvement. Project activities involved:\n- Review of legal and institutional framework to identify where the system is falling short and where is the need for proper actions.\n- Workshops with key stakeholders from both countries, including environmental agencies, port authorities, legal experts, local authorities.

Water stock management is crucial to address and mitigate extreme phenomena that determine an overabundance or scarcity of water resources, whose availability substantially impacts on local production systems, citizens well-being and land management, with increasing soil erosion and forest fire risks. To tackle this challenge, bePrePAred project aims to coordinate and integrate risk management tools, systems and policies aimed at improving the resilience of vulnerable ecosystems and landscapes historically man-managed on both sides of the Adriatic Sea. This is to create new high competence skills and practices for an ecosystem-based governance of water, transferring tools, system and policies in the Italy - Croatia areas, adapting them to a sustainable use of water resources in rural-urban landscapes, raising awareness of institutions and civil society on the risks related to water scarcity and the need for water saving and adaptation policies. \nThe project is based on a cross-border cooperation of public institutions, university foundations and development agencies from different regions of the Italy – Croatia Programme area, supporting natural and cultural landscapes with \n\n1. climate-resilient water ecosystems management solutions; \n\n2. a cross-border regeneration and governance Strategy and tailored Action Plans on water landscapes, supporting adaptation to/mitigation of climate change effects; \n\n3. multi-functions material Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for recovering ecological/landscape networks and non-material Nature-Based Solutions aimed at improving site resilience towards risks; \n\n4.

During the kick-off meeting, the Project Management Unit was established, the Internal Quality Plan, a quick-reference guide supporting partners during implementation was presented, and PP2 CMCC established the first criteria for the implementation of A1.1, in terms of geographical dimension of the project target areas, depending on the needs of all partners involved. On 18th of September 2024 the first Steering Committee was organized by the LP in a mixed modality online and in presence in Ferrara, where project partners formally appointed the Steering Committee and the Quality Management Board Members, also assessing the state of the art and the re-scheduling of WP1 deliverable deadlines (due to the approx. 2 months and PP5 Zadra Nova responsible of communication outlined the details of the Communication Plan and the use of the different communication tools foreseen (website, FB, Instagram, etc.). \nDuring the first reporting period, the PP2 firstly drafted an Excel template for the policy review, including guidelines/criteria to select relevant policies, that all partners can use to collect and assess the policies at different levels addressing this topic (European, national, regional and local).  The template was indeed the baseline for A.1.1 Review of the existing policies/practices for water landscapes governance in targeted natural and cultural landscapes, ensuring consistency in the review of policies, providing a common framework to all partners and facilitating the analysis of data which will be included in the report on solutions in policies/tools for water landscapes management, in the next period. Indeed, all partners will fill it, in the Period 2.  Secondly, the PP2 suggested to the consortium a few climate indicators to define climate scenarios related to targeted areas (based on previous CMCC activity and local partner information). The suggested list of indicators was discussed with the partners and finalised considering the needs of each target area. Indicators will be crucial to PP6 and the rest of the partnership, in the Period 2 to define scenarios of climate change related effects on targeted areas, focusing risks and impacts on water landscapes, foreseen under A1.2. Both preparatory works are essential for A1.1 and A1.2 and for the initial sharing of information related to the management of governance landscape in the target areas and in the identification of scenarios arising from climate change, as foreseen by Specific Objective 1 of the bePrepARed project.\nDuring the second reporting period of the BePrePAred project, partners completed a comprehensive review of how water landscapes are currently managed across the targeted natural and cultural areas. This work – part of Activity A1.1 – helped shed light on the policies and tools being used in different regions to govern rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other water-related environments. Understanding these existing approaches is crucial, as it lays the groundwork for the next steps: predicting how climate change might affect these landscapes and identifying the most at-risk areas (Activity A1.2). Looking ahead, this knowledge will be essential for improving how communities and policy-makers respond to water and climate challenges. It will also help project partners to propose better ways to manage landscapes in changing climate conditions – and to bring these ideas to the attention of local authorities, institutions, and civil society organizations.\nAnother important step was taken with Activity A1.3, where project partners identified and involved key stakeholders – such as local governments, economic actors, and community groups – from the regions involved. This early engagement was aimed at understanding how aware these groups are of the risks facing their water environments and what kind of support or information they need to take action.  These activities, along with upcoming regional workshops, to be implemented in the third period, and presentations of the climate risk analysis, are helping to raise awareness among policymakers and communities. The goal is to ensure that the future of water landscapes is better protected – not only by stronger policies but also by a shared commitment to sustainable, climate-resilient management.\nDuring Period 3, bePrepARed made significant progress in strengthening cross-border cooperation between Italy and Croatia to better understand climate impacts on water landscapes and to prepare concrete adaptation solutions. The project advanced scientific analysis, stakeholder engagement and planning of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), while maintaining strong governance through key partner meetings in Zadar (9–10 July 2025), the Mid-Term Review with the Joint Secretariat, and the fourth Technical and Steering Committee meeting (23 September 2025, online). Work Package 1 fully achieved its objective of sharing methodologies and increasing understanding of climate-related challenges. Partners jointly analysed climate scenarios for six Adriatic areas using past observations and future projections, creating a comprehensive picture of rising temperatures, longer droughts, more extreme rainfall and local vulnerabilities such as flooding and subsidence in the Po Delta, erosion and fire risk in San Bartolo, water scarcity in Egnazia, hydroclimatic stress in Paklenica, tourism pressure in Trogir and salinization in the Neretva Delta. These findings were consolidated into the major D1.2.1, which could guide public institutions and communities in anticipating future risks. WP1 also achieved its communication goal by organising six regional workshops involving over 140 stakeholders, who discussed climate vulnerabilities, sustainable management options and nature-based solutions. All materials were collected in D1.4.1, ensuring broad dissemination of scientific knowledge. Work Package 2 progressed toward its objective of increasing institutional and social awareness and jointly preliminary designing a cross-border Strategy. A key deliverable, D2.1.1, provides partners with a shared framework on Nature-Based Solutions and Disaster Risk Reduction, offering methods, data and criteria for selecting effective measures. Local Working Groups were activated in Emilia-Romagna Region, Parco San Bartolo and the Neretva Delta, involving participants who discussed local challenges, good practices and expectations for future interventions. Building on this collective work and especially the climate analyses of WP1, the LP drafted the preliminary Cross-Border Strategy, which outlines common principles, governance needs and approaches to support sustainable water landscape management across Italy and Croatia, targeted areas. This sets the foundation for the Action Plans to be finalised in the next period. Work Package 3 focused on preparing the testing of NbS that will improve ecological and social resilience in the pilot areas. Partners designed detailed plans for six interventions: a. two material NBS slope and vegetation restoration in San Bartolo, and green infrastructure to reduce heat and manage stormwater in Trogir and b. four non-material NbS (strategic hydraulic planning framework in Cervia, a hydrological monitoring system in Paklenica, erosion mitigation in Egnazia, and drought and invasive-species management actions in the Neretva Delta. These plans, compiled in D3.1.1 and D3.2.1, ensure that implementation will be scientifically grounded, feasible and adapted to each site’s challenges. The added value of cross-border cooperation is evident: Italian and Croatian partners face different climate threats, but each brings different expertise—from climate modelling to protected-area management, from wetland governance to coastal adaptation. By working together, they are able to compare vulnerabilities, harmonise methodologies, co-design solutions and ensure that future NbS are transferable, scalable and more effective than what could be achieved individually. Overall, Period 3 has reinforced the scientific, technical and participatory foundation of the project. It delivered essential knowledge, practical tools, strong cooperation dynamics and coordinated planning. This provides a solid base for the next phase, in which partners will implement and test concrete adaptation solutions to build more resilient water landscapes across the Adriatic region.","Dubrovnik, Split , Zadar, Pesaro , Bari, Lecce, Bologna","HR, IT",null,"Italia (IT), Pesaro, Piazza Dante Alighieri, 1, 61121\n",null,null,null,7]

While these foundational activities involved all partners, some partners played a more prominent role in specific areas, ensuring a well-coordinated approach across the consortium. This period was dedicated to defining roles, responsibilities, and procedures to guide efficient project implementation.\n\nOn July 2nd and 3rd, 2024, the Lead Partner (LP) GAL Molise organized the official launch event for the Digital Plan project in Campobasso, Italy. The Kick-off Meeting, led by GAL Molise, introduced and specified the project’s objectives and activities, outlining the responsibilities that each partner would undertake. Each work package was presented by GAL Molise and representatives from other partners, who contributed insights into their specific areas of expertise. These discussions provided a platform to refine the Digital Plan’s communication strategy, monitoring framework, and financial and management activities, which will be coordinated by GAL Molise in collaboration with other consortium partners.\n\nSeveral partners contributed key elements to the project. PP1, for example, provided significant input on communication and outreach strategies, helping to shape the project's approach to engaging stakeholders. PP2 contributed expertise in monitoring and evaluation, establishing key metrics and processes to track project progress. PP3 offered specialized knowledge on regional digital infrastructure, helping to adapt the project’s objectives to local contexts. In addition, PP4 and PP7 played active roles in developing tools for data collection; with their support, a questionnaire covering the first three activities of Work Package 1 (WP1) was created to gather data from the partners and the regions they represent. This data collection is a critical first step for developing the project’s platform.\n\nThe Kick-off Meeting was also an opportunity to clarify roles, define project deadlines, and agree on a structured project implementation process that all Digital Plan partners will follow. Moving forward, GAL Molise, supported by PP4, PP7, and other partners, will continue to lead efforts to achieve the objectives outlined in WP1, laying the groundwork for a successful and cohesive project execution.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the second reporting period of the Digital Plan project, the partnership achieved significant milestones, making steady and coordinated progress across all key areas. The efforts of all involved partners led to the completion of several crucial deliverables, the advancement of technical and organizational tasks, and the strengthening of cooperation among Croatian and Italian project partners.One of the major achievements was the finalization of key project documents. The Report on Civil Protection Plan Data for Digitization (D.1.1.1), the Report on Open Data Sources (D.1.3.1), and the Project Communication and Media Strategy (D.1.6.1) were successfully completed and approved by the Lead Partner and the entire partnership. These documents represent a significant step forward in establishing the foundations necessary for the digitalization of civil protection plans and enhancing cross-border risk management strategies. Additionally, draft versions of the Online Cartographic Database (D.1.2.1) and the Guidelines for Digitalizing Civil Protection Plans (D.1.4.1) were prepared, laying the groundwork for the next reporting period, when their final versions will be submitted.The partnership also focused extensively on risk assessment and sensor requirements. In collaboration with the project coordinator and the University of Venice (PP7), an analysis of questionnaires completed by project partners led to the identification of three primary risks: forest fires, hydrogeological threats, and avalanches. Another important focus was the digitalization of Civil Protection Plans. The University of Venice initiated the preparation of the guidelines for digitalization, carefully coordinating with both Italian and Croatian partners to harmonize procedures across borders. Despite the complexity of aligning different national regulations and standards, significant progress was made, and a first draft was made available to all partners.In parallel, the technical innovation aspect of the project advanced strongly. Partner PP4 started drafting the documentation for outsourcing IoT sensor design and initiated the creation of biodegradable UHF wireless tags for temperature monitoring. Additionally, the partnership successfully deployed a test version of the IoT Wallet. This new tool allows partners to monitor IoT sensor data, including battery status and measurement visualization, and features mobile push notifications and a progressive web app version.The selection of pilot areas for testing the digital platform was another major accomplishment. After a thorough analysis of regional and national civil protection documentation, and through consultations with local civil protection authorities, the Split-Dalmatia County pilot sites of Žrnovnica (City of Split) and Rupotine (Municipality of Klis) were identified based on their high fire risk, challenging terrain, and limited accessibility for emergency services. Simultaneously, the Municipality of Fermo (MoF) in Italy identified its three pilot areas, contributing to a balanced transnational implementation.Communication and dissemination efforts also gained momentum. AGRRA successfully organized its first press conference, further raising awareness about the project among media and stakeholders. A report covering the press conference (1/8 of D.1.6.2) was produced, and all partners actively engaged in promoting the project through social media and official web pages. From a project management perspective, the partnership remained diligent in complying with the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme rules, particularly regarding budget monitoring, reporting, and public procurement regulations. Regular online meetings and the second live Coordination and Steering Committee meeting in Zadar ensured that project activities were closely monitored and aligned with agreed timelines and objectives. The live meeting in Zadar, hosted by AGRRA, proved to be a pivotal moment. It brought together all project partners, allowing a thorough assessment of progress in WP1 and WP2, clarifying outstanding issues, and defining the work plan for the coming months. Discussions during the Steering Committee meeting focused heavily on maintaining project momentum and ensuring that upcoming activities, such as the finalization of the Online Cartographic Database and the Guidelines for Civil Protection Plan Digitalization, would be completed on schedule.The second period closed with substantial achievements: key deliverables were completed, important pilot areas were selected, IoT innovations were introduced, and communication activities significantly increased project visibility. With a solid foundation now in place, the Digital Plan project is ready to enter its next phase, where the digitalization of civil protection plans and the real-world testing of IoT-based risk management solutions will take center stage.\nDuring the third reporting period, the partnership marked a number of important milestones and demonstrated substantial progress in moving the project forward. Significant efforts were dedicated to both advancing the overall implementation and finalizing several key deliverables and planned activities. This period reflected a strong commitment from all partners involved and was characterized by a high level of coordination and collaboration.\n\nA major highlight of the period was the successful organization of the third live project meeting, which took place in Bol, Croatia. This event brought together all project partners and served as a critical opportunity to discuss the project's current status, clarify upcoming objectives, review deadlines, and align on the activities required to stay on schedule. The meeting reinforced the collaborative spirit of the consortium and ensured that all partners shared a common understanding of the project’s direction and timeline.\n\nThe Lead Partner, with the active engagement and support of the entire partnership, maintained oversight of project implementation. As part of these efforts, a Short-Term Implementation Plan was updated and shared with all project partners. This strategic document outlines a clear roadmap for the next phase of the project and ensures a coordinated, consistent, and efficient approach toward achieving the project’s overarching objectives.\n\nThroughout the reporting period, a number of project activities were successfully completed. Some tasks were initiated but not yet finalized; their respective deliverables are currently in draft form and undergoing review and refinement.

["ITHR0200450","Blue credits for water aquifers recharge and sustainability","Many ecosystems and economic sectors in Europe depend on the availability of water of sufficient quality. Groundwater provides a safe and sustainable resource to meet demands for drinking, agriculture, industry and tourism: groundwater accounts for 65% of drinking water and 25% of water for agricultural irrigation. Groundwater is a finite resource that needs to be protected not only from pollution, also to be preserved from the damage of climate change and human over-exploitation, to ensure the long-term sustainability: in the Mediterranean rim, water scarsity is a relevant issue and climate change is expected to aggravate its availability. Agriculture – which plays an important role in providing food security and makes the EU a global leader in agri-food exports - contributes largely in a deterioration of the quality and quantity of groundwater resources, driven by crop irrigation, increased use of nutrients and chemical pesticides. These pressures in turn have affected groundwater-dependent aquatic environments and ecosystems, and are being further exacerbated by climate change which affect groundwater quality, through interdependencies between pollution and over-abstraction.\n\nIn the EU, the Water Framework Directive is the cornerstone of an environmentally oriented legal frame requiring the management of groundwater bodies with the aim of achieving good chemical and quantitative status of all their waters by 2027 at the latest. Through a range of new strategies and policies, the European Green Deal has reiterated the need to manage water resources sustainably, and tackle chemical pollution and water stress, to ensure sufficient, good-quality water for the environment and people. The EU biodiversity Strategy 2030 and the Climate Change Adaptation Strategy emphasize the need to preserve ecological flows and regulate groundwater abstraction.\n\nCroatia and Italy, as member States of the EU, have to shape their water policies in accordance with the Water Framework Directive (WFD): reporting under the Water Framework Directive indicates that 29% of the total EU groundwater lacks sufficient capacity to meet the needs of ecosystems or society. Over-abstraction of water from coastal freshwater aquifers and the increase in storm surges predicted as a result of climate change may lead to coastal groundwater aquifers being further affected by seawater intrusion. The extensive karstic aquifers in Croatia and Italy are at particular risk.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to reach and keep a “good chemical and quantitative status of groundwater” to be achieved by ensuring that the available groundwater resource is not exceeded by the long-term annual average rate of abstraction. The project will contribute to the inversion of the current trends of overexploitation of groundwater resources increasing aquifer recharging rates in order to rebalance the aquifers and foster their sustainable use. Promoting cooperation between public authorities, research institutions and private companies will be fundamental in order to take advantage of new scientific results and multidisciplinary research to improve observation of climate change effects on groundwater and draw and plan the related adaptation strategies. This objective will be economically sustainable in the long term through an incentives system (called Blue Credits) for private and public entities supporting the recharge of the aquifers. Blue Credits is the overall system: the technical and financial instruments and procedures implementing it, will be designed, built up and implemented by the project. The system is centered on the financial support - creating a Blue Stewardship - to the recharge action; the economic mechanism to sell and buy the credits in an \"ad hoc\" market will result from the project activities.\n\nAn additional key element is to create and share an integrated knowledge system of the area on the hydro-geological structure and its fragilities to identify aquifer recharge areas, aquifer status, depletion, etc.\nThen a campaign to raise awareness and increase active participation of the water resources’ users for rebalancing of the groundwater layer will be undertaken demonstrating the technical feasibility and the environmental sustainability of technical solutions.

Contracts signed with hydrogeology and wastewater treatment experts, and equipment suppliers for necessary site and field analyses.\nDuring the third reporting period, the BLUE-RECHARGE project advanced both its technical and governance dimensions while strengthening cross-border cooperation and visibility at the European and international level.\n\nThe Lead Partner, City of Vodnjan, ensured smooth coordination and compliance by completing essential procurements, maintaining regular communication with First Level Control, and preparing key project documents. The establishment of the Transnational Committee provided a strong governance framework, bringing together experts from diverse fields to guide the feasibility study and ensure alignment across partners.\n\nUnder WP1, partners made major progress toward project objectives. Legal and regulatory comparison and EU best-practice mapping were completed, the Blue Stewardship feasibility study advanced through cross-border roundtables, and a draft model and ICT platform were developed. The Communication Strategy was implemented with newsletters, events, and media activities. Cross-border cooperation enabled shared governance, technical, and economic modelling across Italy and Croatia.\n\nProgress on Activity 1.3 (Feasibility study on the mechanism of blue stewardship) was substantial. Partners, supported by external experts, analysed existing stewardship models (e.g. AWS, ISO 14046, Gold Standard) and developed a draft scheme adapted to project needs. This was discussed in cross-border roundtables with public authorities, certification bodies, and private stakeholders, whose feedback helped refine the model. Based on these inputs, partners began preparing the IT platform for managing blue credits, which will register and evaluate projects contributing to groundwater recharge.\n\nTechnical partners advanced the pilot case studies. In Italy, CER developed the Emilia-Romagna pilot site, installing monitoring devices and generating high-resolution data on groundwater recharge potential. ART-ER supported governance aspects and stakeholder engagement, contributing to pilot testing of the stewardship model. In Croatia, partners consolidated the national case study through hydrogeological surveys, isotope sampling, tracer tests, and economic assessments. The results were compiled into the Case Study Croatia report, providing a strong analytical basis for replication.\n\nIn WP2, pilot implementation progressed well. Both sites—Emilia-Romagna and Southern Istria—produced hydrological data and policy insights. Deliverable 2.2.1 (Case Study Croatia) was completed, providing governance and economic frameworks for replication. Joint scientific work and shared methodologies strengthened the comparability of results and ensured consistency of technical and policy approaches across borders.\n\nIn dissemination and outputs, partners jointly produced policy recommendations, guidelines for replicability, and the first chapters of the Handbook on Blue Credits as a Climate Adaptation Measure. Communication was enhanced through newsletters, social media, conferences, and media articles. Highlights included the ARCCHIVES 2025 conference in Rijeka, gathering 70 experts and stakeholders, and participation at the International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge in South Africa, which strengthened scientific credibility.\n\nWithin WP3, partners advanced the governance mechanism and prepared the first chapters of the Blue Credits Handbook. The model was refined through feedback from utilities, planners, and certification bodies, and aligned with governance systems in Italy and Croatia, ensuring integration of technical, economic, and policy aspects into a coherent transnational approach.\n\nThe added value of cooperation is clear: by pooling expertise in hydrology, economics, governance, law, and communication, the partnership developed innovative tools that no partner could have achieved alone. Knowledge sharing across borders allowed pilot sites in Croatia and Italy to learn from each other’s methods, while joint standards and governance structures ensure EU-level replicability. The integration of technical data with socio-economic modelling and policy design illustrates the project’s holistic approach, bridging science, governance, and practice. Cross-border cooperation has been especially valuable in jointly developing the Blue Stewardship model, shared ICT and economic frameworks, and organising transnational roundtables linking institutions, researchers, and certification bodies from both countries.\n\nOverall, the project is on track to deliver its objectives. It has already produced tangible results—monitoring systems, feasibility models, policy frameworks, and communication outputs—while preparing for the launch of the Blue Credits platform and further pilot actions. By demonstrating practical solutions to enhance groundwater recharge and establishing a transferable stewardship mechanism, BLUE-RECHARGE is contributing to climate resilience and sustainable water management in the Adriatic region and beyond.","Buzet, Rijeka, Bologna, Altamura, Venezia, Vodnjan - Dignano","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

The M.A.R.I.O. Project is working hard to make this vision a reality in our communities. By joining forces across different towns and even countries, we have searched new ways to tackle the problem of young people leaving to find opportunities elsewhere. This project is about creating a more vibrant and sustainable future for all of us who live here.\n2) The Challenge, Our Response, and What's Working\nFor too long, many of our bright young people have felt they need to move away to find good jobs, education, and a better quality of life. This leaves our territories with fewer innovative minds and can make it harder to access important services. This problem isn't unique to just one place; it's happening in different ways across our region, from rural villages to towns near bigger cities and even coastal communities.\nThe M.A.R.I.O. Project brought together three different towns facing this challenge to learn from each other and find new solutions. We talked to local leaders, community members, and young people themselves to understand all the reasons why people leave – it's not just about jobs, but also about things like good transport, access to culture, and feeling connected.\nThrough the project, we've been trying out new ideas and learning what works best. For example:\n-\tSharing Success Stories: We've looked at places that have managed to keep their young people and learned how they did it. This has given us new ideas to try here.\n-\tDeveloping Local Action Plans: Each participating partner has created its own plan, tailored to its specific needs, outlining concrete steps to create more opportunities and improve quality of life. These plans include things like supporting local businesses, improving public transport links, and creating spaces for young people to connect and share ideas.\n-\tBringing People Together: We've organized meetings and workshops that involve citizens. This helps everyone work together to find solutions and ensures that the plans we create are supported by the whole community. For instance, in one area, discussions led to exploring the possibility of shared workspaces to attract young professionals and freelancers. In another, the focus shifted to improving digital connectivity to make remote work more viable.\nThe benefit for you, as a citizen, is that these efforts aim to create more job opportunities closer to home, improve the services you rely on, and make our towns more attractive places to live and raise families. By understanding why young people leave, we can create communities where everyone, regardless of age, feels they have a bright future here.\n3) Building for the Future: What Comes Next?\nThe M.A.R.I.O. Project isn't just a one-off effort. We're building a lasting foundation for change. The towns involved are committed to putting their action plans into practice, with clear steps, timelines, and assigned responsibilities.\nCrucially, we're setting up a permanent group, a kind of ongoing forum, where local leaders and community representatives will continue to meet. This group will keep a close eye on why people are moving, share new ideas, and make sure the strategies we've developed continue to be effective in the long run.\nBy signing formal agreements (Memorandums of Understanding), local decision-makers are committing to these action plans and the ongoing work of the forum. This means that the positive changes we're starting to see have a much better chance of lasting, ensuring a more vibrant and sustainable future for our communities for years to come. The M.A.R.I.O. Project is about investing in our towns and the people who live here, creating a legacy of opportunity and well-being for everyone\n\n","Orebić, San Michele Salentino (BR), Castelbottaccio ","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},3]

This deliverable provides a critical foundation for identifying pilot sites suitable for testing the innovative Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems.\nThrough a collaborative approach, the project brought together expertise from all partners, with PP2 leading the effort. Partners contributed valuable data on aquaculture systems, including legal frameworks, environmental conditions, spatial planning, and market demands. The unified methodology developed ensured consistency in analyzing production systems and enabled a robust evaluation of potential pilot sites. This methodology incorporated region-specific characteristics and the latest data, offering an insightful overview of production challenges and opportunities in target areas.\nThe report highlights the immense potential of IMTA systems to enhance environmental sustainability and economic resilience. By integrating species such as mussels and oysters with macroalgae selected for their biochemical properties and suitability for biorefinery processes, IMTA systems can promote nutrient recycling, reduce waste, and create valuable end-products. This approach not only aligns with the project’s sustainability goals but also contributes to advancing innovative aquaculture practices in the Adriatic region.\nThe added value of cooperation is evident in the collective effort to provide a data-rich, multidisciplinary analysis that bridges the gaps between research and practical application. The involvement of all partners ensured a comprehensive understanding of local aquaculture systems and challenges, fostering knowledge transfer and setting the stage for impactful pilot projects in future periods. As a result, the project is well-positioned to achieve its broader objectives of supporting SMEs in adopting sustainable practices and contributing to the blue bioeconomy of the Italy-Croatia region.\n\nIn communication activities, the LP developed a comprehensive strategy and monitoring tool for target group involvement. It designed the graphic layout for project materials, including posters and roll-ups for all five partners, and created a project description for publication on partners' institutional websites. The LP updated a project website and Facebook page with periodic content. As additional dissemination activity the LP hosted the 2024 European Researchers’ Night.  As part of the University's 25th anniversary celebrations, the event, titled \"A Researchers’ Night in the Mediterranean – Researchers beyond Frontiers” took place on Friday, September 27th, emphasizing the importance of international and interdisciplinary cooperation, shining a light on the global and local challenges researchers are tackling. Significant space was also dedicated to the BIOBASED project, offering the student community a unique opportunity to delve into the project's objectives under the guidance of Professor Matteo Francavilla.\nThe BIOBASED project is working to turn marine biomass and aquaculture by-products into valuable resources through more sustainable and innovative production models. Its central aim is to support small businesses and producers in the Italy–Croatia area by testing new aquaculture systems that are better for the environment and the economy. At the same time, the project is helping to strengthen cooperation between researchers, public institutions, and the private sector by building a shared platform for knowledge and experimentation in the blue bioeconomy.\nOne of the first achievements was a joint study on mussel and oyster production systems and practices in both countries, focusing on their regulatory frameworks, environmental characteristics, and market dynamics. This helped the team understand where and how to introduce new methods like IMTA Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture), a model that combines different species, such as shellfish and seaweed, to make better use of resources and reduce environmental impact. The analysis was carried out collaboratively by all PPs, under coordination of PP2 and led to a common understanding of which areas are best suited for this kind of innovation. \nBuilding on this, the team turned its focus to preparing for real-life testing of IMTA systems. A major step forward was the development of a shared operational protocol, which outlines how the testing will be carried out. It includes everything from how seaweed and shellfish should be placed in the water, to how the systems will be monitored and maintained. This protocol, created by the LP with input from all partners, ensures that the trials will follow a consistent method while being adapted to local conditions. It is a key building block for reaching Output 1.1, which involves testing events of this shared model in practice.\nTo prepare for the pilots, LP, PP3 and PP4 also worked together to collect and analyse seaweed samples from several coastal areas. These samples were studied to better understand their properties and suitability for IMTA. A joint Catalogue of Macroalgae was also created by LP, listing nearly 300 types of native seaweed found in the Adriatic Sea. This catalogue is a useful reference for both research and business, offering information on where different species are found and how they could be used for example, in food, cosmetics, or environmental applications. This resource is one of the most comprehensive of its kind in the Programme area.\nIn parallel, the project partners also began exploring how these biological materials could be used beyond aquaculture, such as in sustainable feed and bio-based product development. This work is part of the second block of activities which focuse on the long-term potential of marine resources. Although still at an early stage, the team started developing a method for testing how seaweed extracts can be used in other industries. These early steps support the project’s broader objective of connecting innovation with real market opportunities.\nOn the management side, the project team ensured smooth coordination and timely reporting, On the management side, the LP ensured timely submission of reports, coordinated a successful clarification process with the JS, and oversaw the smooth distribution of the first reimbursement. The 2nd Steering Committee meeting, hosted by PP3 in Cattolica (March 2025), facilitated in-person collaboration and technical alignment.\nAs Communication Leader, the LP continued to implement the project’s communication strategy, with active support from all partners. BIOBASED was promoted via the project website, Facebook page, and participation in high-level public events, including:\n-\tB-VISA2030 (Bari) – promoting algae cultivation and sustainable innovation;\n-\tCircular Bootcamp (Taranto) – highlighting marine resource reuse;\n-\tMotore Italia – Puglia Orizzonti – reaching investors and institutional audiences;\n-\tAQUAFARM 2025 – presenting BIOBASED jointly with PP2 and PP3 and engaging with key stakeholders from the aquaculture and bioeconomy sectors.\nThese outreach actions supported early engagement with SMEs, cooperatives, and policymakers and increased the project’s national and international visibility.\nWhat makes BIOBASED unique is the way it brings together different regions, institutions, and fields of expertise to tackle common challenges. By working across borders, the project has created shared joint methodologies, harmonised protocols, and aligned strategic approaches. Through mutual learning and shared expertise, the project is not only advancing sustainable aquaculture solutions but also building a transnational network capable of driving innovation and sustainability across the Adriatic blue bioeconomy.\nThe BIOBASED project continues to make steady progress toward its goal of transforming marine resources, such as seaweed and aquaculture by-products, into new opportunities for sustainable growth in the Italy–Croatia area. By combining scientific research, practical testing and cross-border cooperation, the project is helping small businesses and local producers explore more innovative and environmentally friendly solutions in the blue bioeconomy.\n\nA major accomplishment of the early phase was the joint analysis of mussel and oyster farming conditions in both countries. This work mapped out the main environmental characteristics, regulations, challenges and opportunities in the sector and made it possible for partners to jointly plan where and how to introduce IMTA, an approach in which different species, such as seaweed and shellfish, are grown together to make better use of natural resources.\n\nThe scientific foundation of the project was strengthened through the identification and DNA barcoding of seaweed samples collected along the Adriatic coast. This effort allowed partners to confirm which species naturally occur in the area and which ones are most suitable for sustainable cultivation. Together with the shared Catalogue of Macroalgae, this resulted in one of the most complete sources of information on Adriatic seaweed, useful not only for research but also for industries such as cosmetics, food, nutraceuticals and environmental restoration.\n\nBuilding on this knowledge, one of the project’s biggest milestones was achieved when four IMTA pilot sites were successfully launched in July 2025—in the Gargano area, in Emilia-Romagna, in two Mali Ston Bay. Each site operates in a different environmental and administrative context, which provides the project with a unique opportunity to test how the IMTA model performs under real-world conditions. At sea, partners have been regularly monitoring the systems, measuring water quality, tracking how well the seaweed grows, and observing how the environment responds. While results so far show potential, they also highlight several practical challenges such as biofouling, difficulty in collecting algae, seasonal variability, and delays linked to local authorisations. These findings are extremely valuable, because they reflect exactly the kinds of issues that small producers might face when adopting new technologies. The pilots are already providing realistic lessons on what works, what needs to be adjusted, and where support is required.\n\nBeyond the environmental benefits, BIOBASED is also working to explore how seaweed and aquaculture by-products can be transformed into high-value materials. Partners have already started planning activities that will examine how these resources can be used in sustainable feed, biostimulants, pigments or other bio-based products. Early coordination among scientific partners and external experts is helping prepare the ground for future product-development pathways and for the creation of long-term opportunities for small enterprises.\n\nCooperation across borders has been one of the strongest achievements of the project. Partners jointly developed harmonised protocols for sea-based testing, shared monitoring methods, and exchanged scientific and operational knowledge. This level of coordination ensures that results collected in Italy and Croatia can be compared and used together, creating a more complete picture of how IMTA works across the Adriatic Sea.\n\nA key step in building a wider community took place during the first cross-border networking event and joint testing event, both held on 25 September 2025 in Mali Ston. Participants were introduced to the project’s early findings, visited the Croatian pilot site, and exchanged ideas about future applications of seaweed cultivation and sustainable aquaculture. The presence of businesses from both countries allowed for valuable dialogue on practical needs, potential barriers and emerging market opportunities. These events marked the beginning of a growing network that will expand further with future meetings and local Living Labs.\n\nProject coordination and communication have remained strong. Reporting activities were completed on time, partners were regularly supported, and the project gained visibility through its website, social media and participation in international events. These efforts helped raise awareness about sustainable aquaculture and connected BIOBASED with wider networks in research, policy and industry.\n\nThe project is building a shared scientific foundation, testing practical solutions in real environments and strengthening cooperation between institutions, businesses and territories. By working across borders, BIOBASED is shaping a joint approach to sustainable aquaculture and laying the groundwork for new opportunities for SMEs and coastal communities throughout the Adriatic region.","Dubrovnik, Cattolica, Ancona, Foggia","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},6]
["ITHR0200352","Tourism in the Forest and green Lagoons of the Adriatic through historical wooden boats","TOFOLA project intents to launch sustainable (economically, environmentally and socially) tourist products based on the historiography of shipbuilding during the Serenissima Republic of Venice, in order to diversify the current tourist offer in the Northern Adriatic area and promote under-exploited destinations.\nThe challenge the project aimed to address to is represented by the diversification of touristic flows aimed at ensuring equal access to tourist destinations and cultural heritage (for persons with disability, elderly people and retired, unemployed and low-income population, younger generation). Also, the delocalization of flows will be pursued to increase the environmental sustainability and to produce a positive impact on the local communities. To face this challenge, TOFOLA project starts from the belief that the area represented by the coastal provinces of the Veneto Region, the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Istria Regions has a strong history, characterized by the supremacy of the Serenissima Republic of Venice that determines a very culturally rich environment to be exploited for tourism purposes.\nIndeed, the project intends to contribute to the development of the cross-border area starting from what represent the 'intangible' and shared foundations: the historical memory and local traditions of the above-mentioned regions. These, however, are not intended as mere evidence of the past or museum material, but as a means to bring people back, in an active and aware manner, to those waterways that have given so much fortune to the area and that are now largely underused, starting from the historical forests (of the plain in Veneto region, Cansiglio in Friuli Venezia Giulia region and Montona in Istria region) and their timber, which, today as then, provide for the construction of historical and traditional boats that will be used for tourism purposes. TOFOLA intends to achieve this objective by bringing together local citizens and workers around a project that allows the recovery of the past by connecting it to the present and the future, with creativity and innovation. The project would in fact launch tourism products, to be defined trough a business composed by itineraries (of various types, not only historical/cultural/landscape-related but also sporting for example) and related services, which geographically follow the routes of the wood used for the production of boats (but not only) in the historical period of the Serenissima, from the mountains to the sea, linking two traditionally competing or antithetical tourist destinations in the current tourist offer. These itineraries are: from the Carnia and/or Cansiglio forests to the Marano lagoon (IT); from the Montona forest to the Istrian coasts (HR); from lowland wood to Caorle Lagoon (IT); from lowland woods to Delta del Po area (IT).\nThe main results of the project consists in:\n-\tthe \"traceability\" of wood used for reconstruction of traditional boats by the mean of a dedicated QR code to be positioned on the boats;\n-\tICT tools for reverse engineering of wooden boats so that the process can be easily broken down and understood by other operators and boatyards;\n-\tengineering and technical solutions to make wooden boats as accessible and usable as possible for people with reduced mobility and disabilities (motor, visual or cognitive);\n-\tengineering solutions to equip boats with propulsion systems that have minimal environmental impact;\n-\teasily usable business models for the definition of tourism products related to the project's pilot areas.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

The kickoff meeting was held online on Aprile 16, 2024 because the two Italian public partners could not cover travel expenses in the absence of the Subsidy Contract. During the initial phase of the TOFOLA project, the LP established a solid foundation for future activities: Centro Consorzi successfully coordinated the project’s kick-off meeting, defined the PMU and the rules for procedure of the Project Steering Committee. Moreover, within the first period of project implementation the LP-CC has drafted the Risk Management Plan and the Evaluation Plan.\nThese activities laid the groundwork especially for WP1 and WP2, ensuring consistent project management among partners. Key contributions came from VA (PP2), who led the research for WP1, focusing on the historical link between forests and the construction of boats during the Serenissima period with the contributions of all the other PP involved in this activity. PP2 path the way for the future creation of an E-paper by defining roles, gathering relevant data, and setting up a collaborative space on Google Drive for project partner contributions.\nRegarding communication activities, for which PP3-LS is responsible, the communication strategy has been developed; the project website has been set up on the Interreg ITA-CRO program portal (by mid-July 2024); and the project poster has been customized and distributed to all partners.\nThese achievements underscore the collaborative efforts of the partners, from historical research to public outreach, building a solid knowledge base for the next phases of the project\n\nIn the reporting period 2, significant advancements have been achieved across WPs, which have made possible by the strong collaboration and commitment demonstrated by all project partners.  \nWithin WP1 and specific actions, PP2-VA has successfully finalised the E-papers on the evolution of forests and the timber market in the Northern Adriatic area (D1.1.1. Coordinated by PP4-IDA, with the active involvement of LP, PP5-Marservis and PP8-LAG, the partnership has completed the Inventory of historical and/or traditional wooden boats (D1.1.3). Additionally, PP4-IDA and PP5-Marservis have initiated the planning and execution phases of the video & storytelling activity (D1.1.2), focusing on the sustainable use of forests from Serenissima period to the present. The final version of D1.1.1 and D.1.1.3 are now accessible via the project website.  \nPP3-LS has developed a draft version of the Wood Market Analysis (D1.2.1), focusing on 1) supply basins relevant for traditional wooden boat construction, 2) sustainability within the wood supply chain and its linkage to the nautical sector. Due to the complexity of the research, D1.2.1 is slightly delayed and scheduled in March 2025.  \n\nLP and PP6-PFRI have jointly developed a cross-border training programme comprising three training modules (D1.3.1): module 1 will focus on fundamental shipwright skills and will be held in Rijeka on 27 March 2025; module 2, led by PP6-PFRI, will address woodworking construction techniques and the reengineering of wooden boats; module 3, coordinated by LP, will explore the sustainability design in traditional boats: adapting heritage crafts for accessibility. This last module has been planned in Venice, where participants will explore accessible traditional boats at local shipyards. PPs have initiated compiling a joint stakeholder mapping document across the IT-HR area (D1.4.1), which is instrumental in promoting key project elements and launching initial networking actions. Furthermore, the creation of a cross-border historical archive (D1.4.2) is underway. This archive will include video interviews, images and historical footage collected by the PPs and shored in a shared repository, managed by LP.  \nOverall, WP1 is progressing as planned, with only a minor delay affecting D1.2.1. \nRegarding WP2 and specific actions, LP oversees the actions’ implementation and coordinates the realization of specific activities’ objectives together with PPs. The common guidelines for boat reconstruction (D2.1.1) is being addressed with initial insights and studies and LP, PP8-LAG and PP5-Marservis are collaborating to assess traditional boat drawings (D2.1.2), including the “Bragozzo” boat and the Batana concept, expected to be delivered by April 2025. \nIn regards of D2.1.3, PP5-Marservis is leading the reconstruction of the Batana concept while PP8-LAG the Bragozzo boat, combining traditional shipbuilding techniques with modern engineering approaches, which are on-going. The file cycle analysis, aligned with sustainability standards, is still on-going (delivery in May 2025). The delays, reported for D2.1.2 and D2.1.3, stem mainly from challenges faced by PP8-LAG in the research & acquisition process of the boat with eligible characteristics aligned with  project objectives. PP7-UNIPD has made substantial progress in analysing technical solutions for inclusive boat design (D2.2.1). The actions implemented are: a literature review and benchmarking analysis on accessibility innovations in nautical design; a focus group with five sailing instructions from the Lega Navale Italiana (Venezia section) and structure interviews with experts in inclusive sailing, including individuals with physical disabilities. These inputs will guide the design of inclusive prototypes in line with design principles and insights. Moreover, the cross-border knowledge exchange meetings among partners and involved shipyards (part of D2.5.1) have been launched in February 2025 with two online meetings, that were held on 14th and 19th with the coordination and participation of LP, PP7-UNIPD, PP5-Marservis. These sessions have contributed to collecting practical insights on sustainable boatbuilding and restoration practices, as well as valorisation practices on historical and cultural aspects to be transferred by the TOFOLA project.  \n\nReferring to the communication actions foreseen for each WP, the final versions of deliverables (D1.1.1, D1.3.1) have been duly promoted on the project website and social media. Once D1.2.1 (wood market analysis) and D1.1.2 (video & storytelling) are completed, they will also be promoted through the project’s communication channels. The actions aiming to engage, exchange and co-design with stakeholders, technicians and operators, like the focus group and two online meetings (February 2025) have been disseminated via project  platforms and those owned by PPs. Overall, a very-well impact on project direct and indirect beneficiaries (public) can be reported.\nDuring the 3rd reporting period, TOFOLA activities advanced significantly contributing to enhancing environmental sustainability and local development through the valorisation of forests. Within WP1 activities, a number of important products were finalized. The Wood market analysis, a video, and a QRcode were completed and published. Eight Business Cafès with shipyards were organized and the Joint follow-up report was finalized. The cross-border training programme was completed with all three training modules developed and successfully organized. Through such training modules, the project has developed a comprehensive and innovative training program that bridges traditional boatbuilding craftsmanship with contemporary needs for sustainability, accessibility, and market relevance. The cross-border digital archive was also finalized with all the collected materials made available online.\nImportantly, the partnership achieved O1.1: Training for shipyards and handcrafts. O1.1 consisted of three onsite training sessions which were organized in both Italy and Croatia, combining theoretical and practical parts. Over the course of the project, a total of 66 participants took part in the training activities, exceeding the initial target of 60 participants. These included students, young professionals, shipwrights and designers of the naval sector. As a result of the training activities, participants increased their awareness of the opportunities related to the revival of traditional shipbuilding professions, with a focus on sustainability and cultural valorisation.\nThe project also progressed toward its objective of preserving and enhancing the tangible and intangible heritage of traditional wooden boats from the Serenissima by advancing activities aimed at their restoration and accessibility. As part of WP2 activities, partners continued drafting the common guidelines for reconstruction and finalized the digitisation of historical boats as well as engineering plans and LCA analysis of two pilot boats: Bragozzo and Batana. In parallel, technical solutions for highly accessible and inclusive prototypes were studied and identified. These activities lay the foundation for accessibility adaptations that respect traditional designs while ensuring usability for persons with limited mobility.\nDuring the third reporting period, the partnership launched WP3 related activities, which aim at developing attractive and integrated offers of coastal tourism built on a slow and less exploited tourism routes.\nDuring the reporting period, the partnership ensured effective project implementation through coordination meetings (the 2nd Steering Committee & Project Meeting was held in Rijeka on 26/03/2025, hosted by PP6-PFRI ) and preparations for the forthcoming meeting (3rd Steering Committee & Project Meeting  scheduled to take place in Manzano (UD) on 14/102025, hosted by PP3-LS), and the successful management of the Mid-Term Review meeting held on 22/07/2025, coordinated by LP-CC. With regards to communication efforts, project partners ensured continuous dissemination via constant update of web and social media channels, as well as through press articles (2 press articles were published in the magazine “Crescere col Centro”, YearVI–Issue XX–March/May 2025). PP3-LS has produced the project-customized design for promotional gadgets (folder, canvas bag, and pencil). Scientific partners further enhanced the project’s visibility and impact through contributions to international journals and conferences, namely the publication of a scientific paper authored by PP6-PFRI experts “Integrating Sustainability and Innovation in Traditional Wooden Boat Reconstruction: TOFOLA Project” in the Journal of Transportation and Maritime Sciences, and the submission to HCII 2025 of a paper and a poster on co-design methodologies and accessibility requirements.","Porto Viro, Padova, RIJEKA, Kaštelir, Pula, Tolmezzo, Brussa di Caorle, Rovigo","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},10]
["ITHR0200462","Marine Adriatic PArks","A number of threats to marine biodiversity occur at different temporal and spatial scales, from local short-term pollution to long-term regional impact of fishing, eutrophication, climate change, introduced species and other threats. Ocean science research is key for a sustainable future which has ultimately led to the UN General Assembly proclaiming a Decade of Ocean (2021–2030).\nOver-exploitation has been identified as a major threat to marine biodiversity to the extent that we can conclude that people are systematically devouring marine organisms to extinction. Most Adriatic commercial fish stocks are in unsustainable decline, while many are threatened with extinction, due to overfishing. The results of such behaviour have broad social, economic and biological consequences that transcend national and regional boundaries, and successfully can be solved only through cooperation at the international level within a global framework. \nMarine protected areas (MPAs) are an area-based conservation strategy commonly used to safeguard marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. Ecological connectivity governs the exchange of individuals among spatially fragmented habitats and is often highlighted as an important element in the design of MPAs. The current network of legally protected areas, including those under strong protection, is not sufficiently large to safeguard biodiversity. Both countries need to contribute to the goal of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 which states that at least 10% of protected areas surface should be strongly protected. Both Croatia and Italy have large shares of the Adriatic Sea, and with that have the largest scope of influence on it. They both share a long history of joint usage of marine resources. Similar problems and predispositions are tackled through joint implementation and cross-border jointly developed solutions of pioneer activities for this area. Large gaps in spatial distribution to ensure much needed connectivity among MPAs are especially visible in north and middle Adriatic. That is why project is focused on Natura 2000 sites around Island of Silba, marine area around Parco del Conero and Natura 2000 site around Foce Trigno that will with efficient management and strong protection be the missing link in MPA connectivity in the north-middle Adriatic. All project areas are parts of the European ecological network Natura 2000 with designated important habitats and species. These three areas represent the diversity the Adriatic in compact form. They jointly have all important marine habitats. These three areas will be commonly branded as MAPAs – Marine Adriatic PArks and their strong protection will be supported by the legislative system relevant authorities of both countries. Project will also provide tools for easier replicability of successful implementation of strengthening protection status, establishing co-management, and expanding of territory. MAPAs truly represent the Adriatic Sea so when these solutions are successfully applied to these three areas they can be transferred and replicated and applied anywhere in Croatia and Italy. Important aspect is those areas are recognized by the local community as important to be protected and supported by scientific research and the civil society organisations that are the most in touch with the local knowledge.\n\nIn Programme Area, and especially in three project areas, the sea is the basis of life, therefore it is extremely necessary to support the coexistence of people and the sea. It is necessary to bring people closer to the sea, but at the level of appreciation that the marine environment, as a key part of everyday life, need to be known, protected, preserved, and used sustainably. This premise multitudes considering the growing interest of tourists in such places. Pristine nature is something that ensures livelihood to the local communities through ensuring food and resources, nature-based solutions to reduce impact of climate change and economic growth through eco-friendly touristic activities. This translates into quality of life, territorial attractiveness and contributes directly to the sustainable economic development of the Programme area. A strong connection amongst locals, tourists and nature will be accomplished through project activities and key benefit of nature-based and community-based actions will be promoted to all target groups. \nProject implementation will tackle all common challenges through strengthening the protection status of three existing Protected Areas as Marine Adriatic PArks (MAPA). Higher protection status, achieved in active collaboration with local communities, will enhance protection and preservation of nature and biodiversity that supports regeneration of marine resources with the preservation of local livelihoods.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

["ITHR0200324","Enhance enogasTronomy hEritage to eSTablish and Expand sustainAble Tourism","The Covid19 pandemic hit Italian and Croatian tourism hard and highlighted the sector's weaknesses in terms of environmental and social sustainability, labour market imbalance and over-reliance on seasonal tourist flows. Enogastronomy can play a key role to increase the resilience and competitiveness of the tourism sector, reduce its social and environmental impact and improve the quality of life of local communities. The Adriatic area is very rich in intangible enogastronomy heritage and has enormous potential for creating innovative tourism offerings able to enhance experiential tourism and respond to modern needs, food choices and behaviour patterns of tourists. TESTEAT therefore aims to enhance the role of enogastronomy heritage to foster sustainable socio-economic and cultural development of the cross-border area. The TESTEAT approach will shape innovative and integrated cross-border tourism offerings through the joint valorisation of Italian and Croatian enogastronomy heritage, joint training of qualified human resources in the tourism sector and joint solutions to address specific demand challenges in peripheral rural and urban coastal areas. The project focuses on raising the skills of the tourism actors and future and current workforce, especially students and professionals (chefs, waiters, destination managers, tour guides, etc.), and improving their knowledge of enogastronomy heritage, modern needs and food choices and opportunities offered by sustainable tourism, circular economy and digitalisation. To ensure active stakeholders’ engagement in the project’s activities and outputs co-designing, partners will create two enogastronomy innovative HUBs. The HUBs will be composed of key public and private actors from the tourism and culture sectors that will be involved throughout the entire project implementation. TESTEAT partners and HUBs will develop action plans to shape strategies for valorising enogastronomy heritage and define actions to be implemented in the future to ensure their commitment after the project ends. This will help to strengthen the project's spill-over effects in the tourism and education sectors. TESTEAT can count on a diverse and composite partnership made of public and private entities and educational institutions to better address cross-border challenges and develop joint solutions. The originality of the project will be shown by the TESTEAT online tool to create innovative tourism offers adapted to contemporary consumers/tourist behaviours and needs.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

The project began with a well-organized kick-off meeting held in Pula on February 28th and in Pazin on 29th, 2024, bringing together all project partners. This gathering laid the groundwork for the project's goals and objectives while clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of each participant. Partners shared details about their respective organizations, fostering collaboration from the outset. The meeting also included a study trip to Central Istria, giving attendees a firsthand experience of the region's culinary heritage, which will serve as inspiration for future activities.\n\nOne of the key achievements in the early phase of the TESTEAT project was the creation of a Risk Management and Evaluation Plan. This document is a critical tool designed to identify potential risks that could impact the project’s progress, assess their likelihood, and outline measures to mitigate them. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the project remains adaptable and can quickly respond to any emerging challenges. The Risk Management and Evaluation Plan is not a static document; it will be regularly updated as the project progresses. \n\nThe LP team participated in a key seminar in Venice to further streamline project management and coordination across partners.\n\nA major focus in the early stages of the TESTEAT project has been on Work Package 1 (WP1), which deals with identifying and engaging key stakeholders. Templates for project deliverables (D.1.2.1, D.1.2.2 and D.1.3.1) have already been distributed among partners by UNIPU. In addition, key stakeholders in the food, tourism, and hospitality sectors have been identified through interviews (D.1.2.1) by most of the partners (some partners had to make the interviews in the second period because of the high peak of tourism season).\n\nStakeholder engagement (HUB establishment) is a crucial aspect of the project, as TESTEAT aims to build sustainable networks that will continue to thrive long after the project’s completion. Those stakeholders, including restaurant owners, local producers, and tourism operators, will play a vital role in preserving and promoting the enogastronomic heritage of their regions. Even though both Croatian and Italian partners have made significant progress in establishing the HUB of the TESTEAT project this activity will be finalized in second period due to delays.\n\nSCF (Italian Union of Commerce, Tourism, and Services) has played a key role in these efforts by designing a comprehensive communication strategy and preparing a starter kit for all partners. SCF also manages the project’s social media presence, including the TESTEAT Facebook page, where they regularly post updates on events and highlight important themes such as sustainable tourism and the preservation of enogastronomic heritage. Other partners have promoted the TESTEAT project on their official websites, by dedicating a page to the project.\n\nThe TESTEAT project has built strong momentum in its initial months, laying the foundation for continued success in the upcoming phases. With clear objectives, well-coordinated communication strategies, and a solid risk management plan in place, TESTEAT is well-positioned to achieve its long-term goals. The collaborative efforts of all partners, including AZRRI, UNIPU, the City of Venice, UNIVE, Ston Municipality, SCF, Civiform, and DURA, will continue to drive the project forward, fostering regional development and preserving the unique culinary traditions of the participating regions.\n\nDuring the second reporting period of the TESTEAT project, all project partners made significant progress in implementing activities under WP1 and WP2, focusing on stakeholder engagement, data collection, capacity-building preparation and inter-partner coordination.\n\nAZRRI, as the Lead Partner, played a central role in coordinating project activities, organizing key meetings and workshops and guiding the development of the joint SWOT analysis. Also, AZRRI started the procurement process for the Online tool that is currently work in progress, draft was created by the end of the period, and will be finalized by the PP meeting in February on which will be presented to partners. Together with UNIPU, AZRRI co-organized a SWOT workshop involving key stakeholders from Istria, which contributed to the Joint Cross-Border SWOT Report used to guide future project actions. Each region organized meetings/workshops for creation of SWOT analysis of their regions, which UNIPU used to make SWOT analysis report of cross border area by which activity 1.2 was finished.\nThe City of Venice managed local implementation and supported transnational coordination, especially in setting up the Italian HUB. It ensured compliance with financial reporting, updated the project’s online visibility, and promoted TESTEAT within the EU Urban Agenda’s Sustainable Tourism Partnership. The city collaborated with UNIVE (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) in distributing questionnaires, collecting data and analyzing consumer behavior patterns in eno-gastronomy.\n\nUNIPU, as the WP1 coordinator, led the development of shared methodologies, questionnaires (D.1.3.1 and D.1.3.3), and the analysis of tourism behavior. UNIPU worked closely with UNIVE to ensure data harmonization and smooth coordination between partners.\nAll partners worked on collecting questionnaires for D.1.3.1. and D.1.3.3, as well each partner made a report summarizing their collected information and submitted it to the WP1 coordinator, UNIPU. UNIPU therefore wrote joint reports for both mentioned deliverables and as well, wrote the joint document for D.1.3.2. In second project period, activity 1.3. was successfully completed.\n\nSCF contributed to both communication and WP2 activities. It revised and implemented the Communication Strategy, promoted the project through major educational and culinary fairs (DIDACTA Puglia and Artistica 2024), and actively disseminated information through digital and print media. SCF collaborated with UNIVE and Civiform on the structure of WP2 training modules. They also began preparations for training sessions on sustainability, circular economy, and consumer trends.\n\nCiviform played a strategic role in supporting project implementation and coordination. The organization led WP2 and developed the draft guidelines for teacher training and student workshops. Civiform also provided ongoing support to UNIVE and SCF in planning training content and managing internal procedures. It actively engaged in communication activities and ensured consistency in dissemination efforts. UNIVE (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) contributed across both WP1 and WP2 by co-developing the research methodology and content for two key consumer behavior questionnaires. UNIVE analyzed the data, supported partners in survey implementation, and collaborated with SCF and Civiform on the design of future training modules for teachers and students.\n\nDURA, in cooperation with the Municipality of Ston, led local activities in Dubrovnik. The team conducted interviews with stakeholders, collected survey data, and hosted a transnational workshop attended by all project partners. DURA hosted a Transnational Workshop/Meeting focusing on an analysis of the eno-gastronomy situation, which brought together all project partners. DURA also coordinated preparations for WP2 educational activities involving the Dubrovnik Tourism and Hospitality School.\n\nDuring the third reporting period, the project advanced steadily, combining strong coordination with the delivery of key outputs. Management and governance were strengthened through the 3rd Project Partner and Steering Committee meeting in Cividale del Friuli (26–27 February 2025), where partners reviewed progress, discussed financial modifications, and agreed on future steps. An additional online partnership meeting was held on 26 May to address budget changes, resulting in the approval of a major modification to reallocate funds for equipping the outdoor didactic kitchen, alongside several minor adjustments. On 15 July, the Mid-Term Review with the Joint Secretariat provided a performance check and confirmed alignment with project objectives.\nCapacity-building activities moved from planning to implementation. A training schedule was finalized, three trainers were appointed, and two workshops were delivered, focusing on circular economy and zero-waste practices as well as intangible enogastronomy and consumer needs. The third workshop, addressing digitalization, is scheduled for September 2025. Initial training modules for trainers were completed, supported by guidelines and didactic materials for upcoming workshops targeting both students and the professional workforce.\nKnowledge exchange was reinforced through the Cross-Border Exchange Camp in Istria and Pula (26–30 May 2025), which gathered 36 students and four professors from Croatia and Italy. The program combined lectures, thematic workshops, guided study visits, eno-gastronomic tastings, and cultural activities, fostering cross-border collaboration and experiential learning.\nProgress was also made in preserving and innovating enogastronomy heritage. Traditional recipes were collected and adapted to contemporary dietary needs, resulting in a shared cross-border recipe matrix. This output now serves as the foundation for the forthcoming blueprint of an innovative enogastronomy offer tailored to modern tourism demand.\nOn the digital side, the procurement, development, and launch of the Online Tool were successfully completed. This tool provides a platform for sharing, promoting, and enhancing enogastronomic heritage, while also connecting local and cross-border stakeholders.\nPreparations for pilot actions advanced through the development of guidelines and methodological frameworks for Enogastronomy Days and integrated tourism offers. Local HUBs contributed by analyzing sector challenges, identifying training gaps, and supporting alignment with market needs.\nOverall, this reporting period was marked by effective coordination, timely adoption of project modifications, delivery of major outputs, and capacity building across target groups. These achievements created a solid basis for the upcoming pilot events and for the long-term valorization of enogastronomic heritage within the cross-border region.\n","Dubrovnik, CIVIDALE DEL FRIULI, MESTRE, Ston, Venice, Pula, Pazin","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

Project team was set up on Kick-off meeting and main roles were assigned to employees such as their time dedicated for project activities. Also, project management structure (PMU) was established during KoM. \nDuring the KoM LP introduced to the partnership project general presentation and management: activities, deliverables, outputs, methodology – deadlines and responsibilities together with JEMS.\nIDA is continuously organising online meetings at project level (twice per month) through Google Meet and Zoom platform that contributes to added-value of cross-border cooperation. On June 17th IDA organised the first online meeting where all partners together with IDA presented the updates about project activities implementation. All together, 4 online meetings at project level were held in the period June-August. Additionally, common shared repository-Nextcloud was opened where all project documents are uploaded.\nOn 13th May 2024, LP participated in a workshop organized by the MRRFEU. The workshop provided information on the eligibility of costs and reporting. \nRepresentatives of LP also reviewed the JEMS Implementation Manuals and participated in the training session for Standard Projects held on 28th June 2024.\n\nActivities carried out in this reporting period are the following, mostly related to progress of WP1. According to project timeplan, most of partners started with contribution to first deliverable: D.1.1.1 IN4Blue technology database. For this purpose, some partners engaged external expert who conducted mapping of environmentally friendly solutions/practices and finalised with detection of key stakeholders in both country. \nActivity of Mapping of innovative technology solutions or best practices in blue economy sector resulted in technology database that directly contributes to achievement of SO1.1. The technology database created as part of the IN4BLUE project serves as an innovative resource for advancing SO1.1, which focuses on operationalizing social impact business incubators that implement new collaboration mechanisms. This database is tailored to SMEs in the blue economy, specifically targeting coastal tourism and maritime transport sectors. The database compiles technology solutions and best practices that are directly relevant to SMEs working toward the green transition, especially within blue economy sectors that require sustainable practices for long-term impact.\nMentioned database is more than a simple repository: it’s a dynamic, collaborative tool that ensures IN4BLUE partners are equipped with actionable knowledge. This allows partners to make meaningful contributions to the blue economy, especially through Output 1.2  while maximizing the impact of ERDF funds received.\nMoreover, this technology database is integral to the innovative IN4BLUE collaboration mechanisms, which foster partnerships between partners, enterprises and key stakeholders at cross border level.\nThe established CB partnership and the technology database contribute significantly to the added value of cooperation by pooling resources, expertise, and networks from various regions. This collaborative approach enables partners to share insights on best practices, technological advancements, and green solutions relevant to the blue economy.\nIn terms of CO 1.3 the CB partnership and technology database play important role by showcasing specific examples of successful digital and green transformations that becomes a practical tool for inspiring businesses and stakeholders. \n\nOn 23rd July 2024, representative of Communication Managers (FVG AR), participated in the Project Communication Training, where various topics were discussed: visibility rules, project communication, project websites, from the content point of view and next steps.\nAs the assigned Website Administrator, on 31st July 2024, PP5 participated in an online training on website administration organized by the JS of the Italy - Croatia Programme 2021 -2027. \n\nRisk Management Tool was prepared by TNO and approved on steering committee meeting. This document defines and documents the Risk Management Process for the project.  It describes how risks will be identified and assessed, what tools and techniques can be used, what are the evaluation scales and tolerances, the relevant roles and responsibilities, etc. \nAccording to Communication activities all partners set up the main information about IN4BLUE project and financial support of EU on institutional website. As well, all partners exposed project poster in visible place at local premises.\nAdditionally, LP has contracted a consultant for managing the project activities from an advisory perspective and continuously communicated with other project partners in order to ensure good quality of deliverables. \nSince its start in March 2024, the IN4BLUE project, led by IDA Ltd., has made significant steps towards its goal of supporting the green and digital transition of small businesses in the blue economy sector, focusing on coastal tourism and maritime transport. The project contributes directly to Specific Objective SO1.1, which aims to establish Social Impact Business Incubators (SBIs) and implement innovative collaboration mechanisms to help micro and small enterprises develop the skills needed for the green transition.\nIN4BLUE brings together public institutions, business support organisations, and experts from Italy and Croatia, aiming to develop innovative support services and foster cooperation across borders.\nBuilding the foundation for cooperation and innovation\nIN4BLUE began by setting up its project team and governance structures during the Kick-off and Steering Committee Meeting in Pula (April 2024). Since then, the partnership has been meeting regularly both online and in person (including the 2nd Project Meeting in Bari, October 2024), ensuring strong coordination and open communication among all partners.\nTo foster collaboration and exchange of experiences, the project created a Supporter Network, which now includes 98 organisations and experts from Italy and Croatia, committed to the project’s mission and involved in shaping its activities. These interactions directly contributed to the development of Output 1.1 – a local innovation value chain structure, designed through cooperation between public and private organisations. Six project partners, two associated partners and the wider network of supporters jointly built this structure, which lays the foundation for the project’s pilot support actions in WP2.\nKey tools and achievements to support SMEs and the green transition\nIN4BLUE has delivered several important tools and resources that help local businesses and stakeholders embrace more sustainable practices:\n-\tTechnology Database (completed in RP1): This practical tool gathers 93 examples of green and digital solutions applicable to the blue economy, providing inspiration and knowledge to SMEs and other stakeholders.\n-\tCompetence Map (completed in RP2): By assessing the skills and competences of over 87 stakeholders, the project identified key gaps and needs, ensuring that the support services developed are well-targeted and effective.\n-\tStakeholder Database (completed in RP2): A list of over 200 relevant actors in the blue economy and creative industries, helping the project connect with key players for future activities.\nThese deliverables provide the strategic groundwork for the IN4BLUE Support Program (D1.2.1), currently under development.\nSupporting businesses through training and networking\nIN4BLUE partners have been actively preparing capacity-building activities:\n-\tExpert training programs were planned and scheduled for 2025, focusing on topics like design thinking, innovation for sustainability, and green entrepreneurship.\n-\tE-learning resources were identified and shared within the Supporter Network to provide flexible learning opportunities.\nCommunicating with the wider public and raising awareness\nTo reach businesses, local communities, and the general public, the project team created and regularly updates the official IN4BLUE website and social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram), where all news, events, and achievements are shared. Partners also organised awareness events and interviews with local stakeholders to collect their views on the challenges and opportunities in the green transition.\nAdded value of cross-border cooperation\nOne of the key achievements of IN4BLUE is the establishment of a joint cross-border support framework that brings together project partners, associated partners, and external stakeholders from Italy and Croatia. Through the development of the IN4BLUE Supporter Network — which includes 98 registered members as of Period 2, including public institutions, SMEs, creative individuals, and experts — the project has laid the foundation for sustained cooperation in supporting innovation in the blue economy.\nBy working together, partners and stakeholders co-developed shared tools and methodologies — such as stakeholder interview frameworks and training design templates — that are applicable across different regions and institutional contexts.\nThis cooperation has added value by combining diverse experiences, perspectives, and knowledge systems, resulting in more relevant, adaptable, and transferable solutions than would have been possible through isolated, national-level efforts.\nBy the end of the second reporting period, IN4BLUE has successfully built the collaborative infrastructure and content base needed to move forward with WP2, where pilot actions and direct SME support will be implemented.\n\nSince March 2024, IN4BLUE has been building a practical cross-border support system that helps small and micro businesses in the blue economy (coastal tourism and maritime transport) progress towards the green and digital transition. The project contributes to Specific Objective SO1.1 by developing Social Impact Business Incubators (SBIs) and shared tools for collaboration between public institutions, support organisations, SMEs, creative actors and technology providers in Italy and Croatia.\n\nThe partnership has remained active and well-coordinated through regular meetings and shared planning activities. Clear communication channels and joint decision-making ensured steady progress and common understanding among all partners.\n\nSupporter Network and stakeholder engagement\nThe Supporter Network has continued to grow, bringing together organisations, experts, entrepreneurs and local actors interested in innovation in the blue economy. This network provides space for exchanging experiences, shaping ideas and preparing upcoming pilot activities.\n\nThroughout the reporting periods, partners jointly developed:\n- Technology Database with practical examples of green and digital solutions,\n- Competence Map describing key skills needed for sustainable development in coastal economies,\n- Stakeholder Database identifying relevant actors in both countries.\n\nThese tools provide the knowledge base and practical groundwork for the IN4BLUE Support Program (D1.2.1), which was finalized during this reporting period. The Support Program defines how SBIs and support organisations will cooperate during WP2 pilot activities.\n\nCapacity-building and peer learning activities were strengthened to prepare the partnership and Supporter Network for WP2 pilot actions. Through expert training and collaborative learning formats, partners improved their ability to support SMEs in applying sustainable and innovative practices.\n\nProject partners continued to promote the IN4BLUE initiative through the project website, social media channels, stakeholder interviews, and awareness events, ensuring visibility and engagement at the local and cross-border level. Working as a joint network enables partners to co-design methods, adapt tools to different local contexts, and share solutions that are more relevant and transferable than those developed individually. This cooperation directly supports Output 1.1 and ensures that the Support Program can be implemented consistently across regions.\n\nBy the end of this reporting period, IN4BLUE has established the people, tools and shared know-how needed to begin piloting support services for SMEs, while continuing to strengthen collaboration and learning within the Supporter Network.\n","Venezia, Zadar, Valenzano, Kaštel Novi, Trieste, Pula","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},8]

It brought together people, businesses, and institutions from both sides of the border to share knowledge, create new opportunities, and develop concrete plans for growth. Through meetings, workshops, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, the project helped improve cooperation and create a strong network to support economic and social development in the region.\n\nChallenges  and Solutions Developed\nMany small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) struggled to connect and collaborate across borders, limiting their ability to grow and innovate. This was especially true for companies in the Blue Economy, all crucial industries for communities along the Adriatic Sea.\nThe project also supported businesses focused on sustainability, particularly those in the Circular Economy.\nLocal governments and business organizations needed better ways to support companies and entrepreneurs in navigating administrative processes and accessing funding. A major barrier to growth was the complexity of public procurement procedures, which made it difficult for small businesses to access funding and win government contracts.\n\nHow NEWS Used AI to Support Businesses\nA key innovation of the project was the development and testing of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool based on ChatGPT, specifically designed to help businesses and institutions navigate public procurement. This AI-powered system was introduced to: make Public Procurement Easier – The AI chatbot provided step-by-step guidance to small businesses on how to apply for public contracts, simplifying complex rules and regulations; reduce bureaucratic barriers – by offering a user-friendly digital assistant, the AI tool saved time and reduced confusion, particularly for small businesses that often struggle with paperwork and legal requirements. The AI system was trained on both Italian and Croatian regulations, allowing businesses from both countries to understand each other’s rules and work together more effectively.\n\nConcrete Actions and How They Help Local Businesses and Institutions\nAlongside the AI tool, the NEWS project took several other steps to support business growth and collaboration:\nDeveloped a Roadmap for Future Growth – Created a step-by-step plan that local governments, business organizations, and companies can follow to improve economic cooperation.\nBuilt a Business Network Across Borders – Organized events that connected business owners, local authorities, universities, and citizens, helping them exchange ideas and build partnerships.\nSigned a Cross-Border Cooperation Agreement – The project’s partners formalized their commitment to continue working together beyond the project’s end, ensuring long-term collaboration.\n\nWho Benefited from the NEWS Project?\nThe NEWS project helped a variety of people and organizations in the Italy-Croatia border region:\nLocal businesses and entrepreneurs → Gained better access to funding and easier ways to apply for public contracts.\nPublic institutions and business organizations → Learned new ways to support SMEs and make their regions more attractive for investment.\nUniversities and researchers → Connected with businesses to share innovative ideas and solutions.\nCitizens and local communities → Benefited from new economic opportunities, job creation, and stronger regional cooperation.\n\nHow These Solutions Boost Regional Growth\nBy combining strategic planning, business networking, and AI-driven digital support, NEWS created a strong foundation for long-term growth:\nEasier Access to Public Funding → Thanks to the AI chatbot, SMEs can now better navigate public procurement, opening new opportunities.\nStronger Business Connections → Italian and Croatian businesses are now more connected, making it easier to find partners and explore new markets.\nInnovation and Digital Transformation → AI tools help businesses modernize and improve their efficiency.\n\nWhat’s Next? \nThe networks created during the project will continue to provide guidance and support to businesses, institutions, and local governments.\nThe strategies developed during NEWS provide a roadmap for future investments and economic growth.\nThe AI chatbot for public procurement will continue to be developed and improved, making it easier for businesses to access funding and contracts.\nThe challenge now is to expand these initiatives, involve more businesses and partners, and adapt strategies to changing economic conditions.\nThe NEWS project was just the first step.

["ITHR0400304","SUSTAINABLE AND SMART DIGITALIZATION IN PUBLIC SERVICE SECTOR","The DIGITsmart project aims to address cross-border digital obstacles in retrieving archival documentation that affect various stakeholders, including local public authorities, interest groups, and the general public in Italy and Croatia. The common challenge of the programme area is the lack of digital solutions making archival heritage more accessible and usable by stakeholders. \n\nThe digitalization of cultural and historical heritage is an important process that helps to preserve and protect these valuable resources for future generations. By creating digital copies of physical documents and photographs, these materials can be stored and shared in a more secure and accessible manner. One of the primary benefits of digitalization is that it allows for easier and more widespread access to cultural and historical materials. This increased accessibility helps to promote education, research, and cultural exchange, as people from different places can learn about and appreciate these valuable resources. In addition to promoting access, digitalization also helps to protect and preserve cultural and historical heritage. Physical documents are vulnerable to damage from environmental factors such as light, humidity, and temperature, as well as from wear and tear over time. Digital copies, on the other hand, can be stored and backed up in multiple locations, providing a level of security and protection against damage or loss.\n\nThe expected change is to provide a solution to the current challenges faced by stakeholders in accessing and using cultural archives. The main outputs of the project include the digitization of archive material and a pilot communication platform that will benefit stakeholders, such as scholars, researchers, and the general public. \n\nThe project also aims to create joint administrative or legal agreements Memorandum of Understanding.The availability of archival material to citizens through easy access will greatly benefit the entire population of Croatia and Italy. The results of the DIGITsmart project will be used by the general public, all stakeholders developed within the project and beyond, and all interested parties who have the right to view digitalized materials. And to facilitate clustering, network creation, and transferability of results after the project ends. The approach taken in this project is a cross-border because the challenges faced by stakeholders are not limited to one country or region. A collaborative approach is needed to address these issues and develop solutions that can be applied across borders.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to develop a user-friendly technical platform and digitize archive materials to make them easily accessible to all target groups of this project and beyond. The digitalization of cultural and historical heritage is crucial for preserving these valuable resources and making them accessible to a wider audience.

Across both regions, stakeholders struggled with outdated and fragmented digital solutions for accessing valuable cultural and historical archives. \n\n1. Opening Up the Past: A New Way to Access Shared Heritage\n\nThe DIGITsmart project has created a major step forward in preserving and sharing the cultural and historical heritage of Italy and Croatia. Its main result is the development of a new digital platform that allows citizens, researchers, and students to freely access a growing collection of historical documents and photographs—materials that were previously scattered, often inaccessible, and at risk of damage.\n\n2. Connecting the Pieces: Why This Project Was Needed and How It Succeeded\n\nAcross Italy and Croatia, many important archival documents—letters, photos, official records—were stored in separate institutions, often still in paper form and vulnerable to decay. Without a coordinated system or shared tools, accessing these treasures was difficult, especially for cross-border research or public interest.\n\nThe Challenge\n\nThe main issue was the lack of a unified, easy-to-use digital platform that could make these archives accessible beyond local or national boundaries. Citizens, historians, teachers, and even public institutions struggled to locate or use archival material effectively.\n\nThe Solution: Digital Access Through Shared Effort\n\nDIGITsmart focused on two key solutions:\n\nDigitizing historical materials: Thousands of pages and images were carefully scanned and preserved in high quality, protecting them from future deterioration.\nBuilding a cross-border digital platform: A new online system was created, designed to be simple and accessible for users in both Italy and Croatia. It allows users to browse, search, and study digitized documents from various archives in one place.\n\nA Model of Cross-Border Cooperation\n\nThis project was only possible thanks to close cooperation between institutions and experts on both sides of the Adriatic. Italian and Croatian partners shared not just tasks, but also knowledge, tools, and training sessions. Through regular meetings and workshops, teams aligned their technical and cultural approaches, ensuring the platform respected both countries’ archival standards and heritage values.\n\nAn Example of What’s Now Available\n\nOne standout example now available online is a collection of **early 20th-century civil records from border regions**, which show how families and communities evolved during times of political change. These documents, once buried in local archives, can now be viewed and studied by anyone with an internet connection.\n\nBenefits for Institutions and Citizens\n\nThe participating archives and institutions now benefit from:\n\n-\tImproved infrastructure for future digital projects,\n-\tStrengthened relationships with neighboring institutions,\n-\tAnd the ability to serve the public in a more modern, accessible way.\n\nFor users—including teachers, students, genealogists, and culture enthusiasts—the platform offers new ways to explore personal and shared histories without the need to travel or request paper copies.\n\n\"For years, I thought my grandfather’s records were lost forever. Thanks to this platform, I found them in minutes,\" shared one user from Rijeka.\n\n\n3. Looking Ahead: The Project’s Legacy and Future Plans\n\nDIGITsmart is designed to last. A Memorandum of Understanding will support ongoing maintenance and cooperation. Plans are in place to expand the digital archive with more documents and to continue training staff and upgrading the platform as technology evolves.\n\nBeyond this, DIGITsmart has laid the foundation for future projects that aim to:\n\n-\tDigitize other types of cultural heritage, such as audio or film,\n-\tCreate educational resources using archival material,\n-\tAnd deepen cross-border cultural understanding between Italy and Croatia.\n\nThe project proves that with the right tools and partnerships, history can be opened to everyone, not just kept behind closed doors.\n","Conversano (Bari), Forli, Kaštel Sućurac","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},3]
["ITHR0500564","Adriatic Alliance for Cross-border Touristic InnovatiVe Experiences","The identification of the main objectives and activities of AdriACTIVE has taken into account the greatest element of attractiveness of the Italian and Croatian territories participating in the Programme. In both Countries, tourism plays an important role in the economic and social development dynamics, but still remains too closely linked to the major natural and cultural attractions and to the coastal areas. This entails the worsening of the phenomenon of overtourism and the persistent under-exploitation and poor fruition of attractions defined as ‘minor’ but of high value. The experience gained by the project partners has led to the awareness that only a strong impulse for collaboration between neighboring territories can lead to the reduction of the negative impacts of tourism and thus to the identification and adoption of practices that enable greater sustainability. This approach is moreover supported by new trends linked to a different demand for tourism, more focused on the identities of the territories, to a different kind to relationship with places and communities (like in the case of regenerative tourism), and to so-called slow and proximity tourism, as expressed not only by local tourists but also and increasingly by international tourists, above all starting from the pandemic period. For this reason, the main purpose of the project is to establish a cross-border tourist itinerary connecting and valorizing some strategic hubs and local itineraries in the program area as a tool to enhance the cooperation among Italy and Croatia in the field of sustainable active tourism, through the promotion and valorization of cultural and natural heritage. \nThe partners are strongly committed to identifying approaches, tools and methods aimed at enhancing cultural itineraries, as an extremely attractive component combining cultural heritage and landscape and common to the territories involved. The activities will be specifically devoted to: define and promote a cross-border tourist itinerary, starting from the strengthening of the offer in each territory through a cross-border strategy; to strengthen the relationship among them through specific site visits; to empower the skills of operators, with a specific focus on SMEs. The enhancement of cross border hubs will then encourage a model for the slow fruition of the territories aimed at improving the experience-based tourism and giving visibility to lesser-known cities and villages. Focusing on the involvement of local communities and the improvement of skills for cultural and touristic operators, the project will test some innovative approaches and solutions/tools to promote innovative sustainable tourism products. \nThis model will rely on involving local communities (both tourism operators and citizens) with a view to achieving social as well as environmental sustainability. In this perspective the main expected results are:\n\n\n1.\tthe enhancement of relevant cultural venues as multidisciplinary hubs by reinforcing their spill-over effects in the economic and tourism sector, through a strategy for the sustainable development of Cultural Itineraries as cross border tourism destinations\n\n\n2.\tThe enhancement of cultural and natural itineraries and paths in terms of accessibility and visibility, through physical and digital interventions, and then the connection of the nodes of the CB itinerary.\n\n\n3.\tthe definition and implementation of cross-border training activities for administrators and operators on sustainable tourism concepts and the creation of attractive career paths based on a skilled workforce, fair wages and good working conditions in the framework of integrated management plans for cultural tourism destinations, such as Cultural Routes, including site management plans and pilot actions for capacity building to strengthen professional capacities.\n\n\n4.\tthe preparation and implementation of sustainable development and promotion strategies of tourist destinations and territorial marketing campaigns engaging local stakeholders to diversify tourism offer also to enhance the potential of the peripheral areas and ensure the wellbeing of the residents as a long-term sustainability factor of tourism, through policies enabling participative cultural tourism planning and management\n\n\n5.\tthe testing of integrated innovative digital solutions and new technological equipment to interpret and promote coastal and inner areas touristic resources also through the involvement of cultural and creative industries through pilot activities for the digital preservation/safeguarding and promotion of natural and cultural heritage along cultural tourism destinations, such as Cultural Routes, as leverage for sustainable tourism.\n\n\n6.\tStrengthening the sense of belonging and identity within communities through culture, in a CB dimension, thus fostering the development of a cross-border tourism offering that leverages the shared cultural heritage of the partners in a common perspective","2025-07-01","2028-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

This is even more true in Italian and Croatian ports, located in the proximity of populated areas, degrading local air quality on top of the emitting CO\n\n2. At the same time, the potential of digitalisation in the port sector is still not fully exploited.\nTo change this, cooperation on both shores of the Adriatic Sea is vital, because the issues to be tackled are common and cover operational topics that cannot be dealt at local level, given the global nature of transport flows of GHG emissions.\nFor the first time, Italian and Croatian ports will jointly work on port digitalisation and decarbonisation, which can be seen as two sides of the same coin, being closely intertwined. For both topics, we will start by benchmarking the current situation of our regions and drafting two cross-border strategies, one for each subject. Then, we will jointly test them in result-oriented pilot actions in different locations, compare their outcomes and draw related lessons, in five key topics: 1) energy efficiency, alternative energy production; 2) efficient lighting, climate resilience; 3) e-mobility; 4) Port digitalisation, digital twin, multimodal travel planning; 5) Port security.\nAlso, a cross-border training will delve into the most recent innovations in both fields, training material to be uploaded on an e-learning platform, together with project outputs and results, freely available to all interested parties wishing to work on port decarbonisation and digitalisation. \nProject outputs and results will be transferred at local level through transferring events and at international level through conferences, workshops and fairs.\nThus, transport stakeholders and residents in port cities will be able to see concrete developments in the efficiency port operations and maritime transport as well as an improvement of air quality and fight to climate change already during the project lifetime.\nIn the 42 months of cooperation we expect to establish a joint cooperation and development path in order to a ensure a medium- and long-term enhancement in the ports of both shores of the Adriatic Sea, also leading to a stronger territorial cohesion.","2025-07-01","2028-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

Through 20 local pilots clustered under 5 thematic areas, the project will gather extensive insights on different risks and related countermeasures: from updating of EWS in the area, to their standardisation and integration with Generative AI to the benefit of policy-and decision-makers, from direct and indirect measures to improve coastal protection in several target territories, to nature-based solutions for climate change impact mitigation, from early responders capacity building and skills acquisition in response to flooding damages and coastal fires. Cooperation between Italy and Croatia is essential for tackling the shared climate challenges faced by the Adriatic region. Both countries have coastlines and inland areas that are highly vulnerable to climate-induced risks such as flooding, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and extreme weather events. By working together, Italy and Croatia can develop comprehensive and harmonized strategies that address these transboundary issues more effectively than they could alone. Cross-border cooperation will not only be vital to the fruitful implementation of the project, as it will allow for the pooling of scientific knowledge, data, and resources, ensuring that both nations benefit from an integrated approach to climate resilience, but it will also be crucial as climate impacts on one side of the Adriatic can have direct consequences on the other, making a coordinated response essential for long-term sustainability in the region, and the Adriatic Sea Climate Observatory a more than ever needed structure for coordinated governance and management of climate-related strategies.\nREALIST will develop three main cross-border solutions that will support the overall ambitions of the project, and are further explained in the followingg sections of the application. In summary, the first solution refers to the Updated overview and guidelines for standardisation of EWS, which will provide clear guidance on how to improve existing EWS in theAdriatic region and support the implementation of identified intervention both within and outside the project partnership. The second solution refers to the capacity building course that will be designed, delivered and made available for in-situ and online fruition for PPs and external stakeholders. This second solutions aims at providing a clear benefit in terms of enhanced skills, capabilities and knowledge about the tested solutions from the pilot projects, providing further dissemination of viable solutions beyond the project partnership. The third and last cross-border solution that REALIST will deliver is the design of the Adriatic Sea Climate Observatory, to be underpinned by the signature of a MoU by all PPs, and further implemented in the years following the projects' end to support a permanent structure for shared data and governance, and joint or local implementation of climate adaptation, risk prevention, and policy design initiatives.","2025-07-01","2028-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

Furthermore, their contribution to the promotion of sustainability of the Adriatic area is considered.\nECCENTRIC addresses specific common challenges: 1) Strengthen the collaboration between the emerging sectors and Research institutions and the implementation of innovative product and processes 2) strengthen sustainability in the blue-economy, triggering the transformation of SMEs according to the green and digital transition. To do this, it aims to emphasize the role of research and development in these emerging sectors, focusing on sensors, materials, telecommunication, electronics components, robotics, etc. Research and innovation (R&I) is seen as a central driver for promoting a sustainable blue economy, as well as for achieving the goals set out in the European Green Deal and building back better after the COVID-19 crisis.\nThe general objective of the project and the expected changes that the project will bring to the current situation are in line with the Priority 1 of the program area, i.e. sustainable growth in the blue economy. In particular, ECCENTRIC aims to produce 1) more expertise and attitude from public and private intermediaries to support emerging sectors of the Adriatic area 2) strengthen circularity in the blue-economy by working with SMEs and start-ups in emerging sectors 3) strengthen the support from public and private actors to the emerging sectors of the blue economy with the necessary financial instruments/investments\nThe outputs will be vertical and directly for the benefit of the actors involved (SMEs, Higher education and research organisations, Regional public authority, Business support organisation, Sectoral agency).

The ECCENTRIC project aims to strengthen the collaboration between SMEs and research institutes by focusing on the emerging sectors of the blue economy. The “emerging” sectors (marine energy, maritime surveillance and security, and infrastructure) received this definition in the Blue-Economy report, due to their novelty both with respect to industry and markets on the one hand and the need for investments with low rate of return due to the pre-industrialization stage of most of their products. The advanced technologies required by these sectors (sensors, electronic components, materials, nanomaterials, cables, robotics, etc.) require great knowledge, skills and capital that can hardly be available in a single area. Cross-border collaboration is essential to combine the needs/expectations of SMEs activities with the most advanced technologies and products developed by the Croatian and Italian company researchers and, in fact, the ECCENTRIC approach is based on the creation of a cross-border community of researchers and technology that will support both Croatian and Italian SMEs.\nCross-border collaboration is needed to share innovative financial instruments and investment measures from both the public and private sectors to support and enhance the growth of these sectors.\nThe real novelty represented by the project is its work aimed at supporting the growth and contribution to fundamental emerging sectors of the blue-economy for sustainability.\nity of the Adriatic area, enhancing their digital and green innovation processes and products.\nThe emerging blue growth sectors that will be involved are those related to marine energy, maritime defence, security and surveillance and marine infrastructure.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_1) Sustainable growth in the blue economy","RSO1.1.

["ITHR0200403","Gastro UpScaled Tourist Itinerary in rural regions of Croatia and Italy","Gastro tourism is a way to make the tourism sector more sustainable by reducing food waste, improving agricultural practices, promoting local and organic foods. Sustainable gastro tourism is a growing trend of food travel that offers options with less of an ecological footprint. \n\nIt is a form of sustainable tourism that focuses on the culinary experiences of a destination and is a key tool for achieving sustainable development goals. \n\nCulture and sustainable tourism are two important pillars of economic development and can create jobs, spur innovation, and drive economic growth. Gastronomy tourism promotes social inclusion and innovation, generates income, promotes local produce, and raises awareness of sustainability issues. \n\nThe growth of gastro tourism has been driven by the rise of social media and the increasing popularity of culinary travel experiences. Sustainable gastro tourism is a way to enjoy all the aspects of gastro tourism while also being conscious of the impact that tourism can have on local communities and ecosystems. \n\nIt involves supporting local businesses, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, minimising waste, and promoting sustainable practices such as organic farming and Slow Food. There are many ways to experience slow tourism, but one of the most popular is through gastro tourism, which involves traveling to a destination to sample the local cuisine and learn about the food culture. \n\nGastronomy tourism is important for local governments, educational institutions and civil organizations to reach their development goals, but it is important to have an equitable distribution of the beneits among the sectors. \n\nFarmers, cooks and chefs should be seen as an integral part of the tourism value chain, and their proposals should be given a central role to preserve biodiversity and gastronomic culture. Tourism should also be seen as a means to re-evaluate traditional cuisine, as it can lead to new dishes that do not have any ties to the values and traditions of the local traditional cuisine.\n\nThere are several challenges which project GUSTI will tackle. \n\nFirstly, the diversification of touristic flows making the destinations equally accessible to all tourists, regardles of their age, gender or abilities, and increasing the environmental sustainability, positively impacting the local community. \n\nSecondly, the lack of promotion of new and integrated offers and maintining the competitiveness of the gastronomy tourism sector. Finaly, the improvement and modernisation of the policies for valorisation of the cultural heritage. \n\nThe GUSTI project will address these issues by first identifying, valorizing, and promoting intangible cultural heritage through in-depth analysis of the current state, quality system labels, and sustainable practices, as well as creating and mapping itineraries and strategic planning of destination management and promotion, as well as eco-labeling. \n\nThe project's outcomes will help to increase knowledge, build and implement stakeholder capacities in sustainable gastronomy and cultural tourism, digitalization, and new career paths for all target groups along the entire food production chain (including family farmers, farm associations, hospitality providers, local authorities, gastronomes, students, teachers, etc.). \n\nThe following measures will result in a genuine shift in the valorization and promotion of gastro-cultural tourism:\n\n- Implementation of various pilot actions, educations, workshops, and various awareness-raising events;\n- Creation of an appropriate cross-border thematic network;\n- Development of an online digital tool tailored to different users to provide best practice guidelines, itineraries, cookbooks, and so on.\n\nThe innovative approach is to look at destination management as a whole, following the principles of circular economy and Farm to Fork Strategy as described in the EU Green Deal, rather than just promoting gastronomy or destinations. \n\nCross-border collaboration is essential for achieving project goals and outcomes, and also for project partners, target groups, project areas adn programme areas. \n\nWhile each country and region may face unique challenges and solutions for the valorization and promotion of gastro-cultural tourism, a collaborative approach is required to develop sustainable destination management practices, slow food and quality label systems, and raise awareness about the environmental impact of seasonal tourism. \n\nClose collaboration can result in better knowledge and expertise sharing, as well as improved communication channels. This will ultimately aid in the facilitation of joint projects and initiatives aimed at strengthening cross-border relations, promoting cultural exchange, and enhancing economic development. \n\nThe benefits of taking a cross-border approach are numerous for project partners, target groups, project areas, and programme areas.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

["ITHR0200414","BLUE ECONOMY NEW SKILLS","The so-called \"traditional sectors\" of the Blue Economy (fishing, aquaculture, but also nautical services) have always constituted the backbone of the EU Blue Economy. However, many of these sectors are currently facing several challenges, due to lack of innovative paths aimed at increasing, both the capacity of SMEs and the workforce in the Blue Economy domains. This is particular true for some maritime areas and SMEs, far from the innovation centers, where this shortcoming prevent the development of new sustainable and smart business solutions, and where the unemployment rate still remains very high. The project BLUES intends to reverse this situation, promoting a process of innovation and S3 smart specialization of SMEs of the traditional sectors of the Blue Economy and sea jobs, improving their capacity to attract a new skilled workforce. Through a needed cross-border cooperation of development agencies, innovation centers, universities and business supporting organisations, aimed at exchanging and providing different innovative and IT solutions, and match-making mechanisms to support demand/supply between SMEs and jobseekers in Blue Economy domains, the project concretely activate: \n\n1. a BLUES S3 Innovation Hub Network, supporting 80 SMEs with a catalogue of innovative and IT business solutions/services; \n\n2. three match-making mechanisms, encompassing an online platform for SMEs and job seekers in Blue Economy Domains, three hackathons competitions open to the participation of 154 people, including graduates and SMEs, and 3 cross-border open job fairs. In particular, the organization of the Hackathon competitions to facilitate the meeting between labor supply and demand in traditional sectors of the Blue Economy represents a new challenge in the innovation sector, creating an open space for technical and scientific comparisons between SMEs and skilled workforce.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_1) Sustainable growth in the blue economy","RSO1.4.

From an overall  external communication point of view, a press-conference  was held in coincidence with the Kick-off meeting, to officially introducing to the audience the aims of the project and the planned activities. Moreover, each partner, through its institutional pages has communicated its participation, detailing project main aim and objectives. Semester one was crucial to establish a strong baseline for the achievement of the first specific objective of BLUESLINKS: creating a cross-border network, favoring the adoption of the key principles of S3 specialization strategies in the Blue Economy traditional sectors and seajobs. It is the first step alongside the path leading to the direct support to SMEs of Blue Economy sector and the activation of Match-making mechanisms between SMEs and graduates / start-ups interested in Blue Economy activities.  So, the partners within this semester started to investigate the Blue Economy context in their areas, under the coordination of PP2 Polo ALTO ADRIATICO,  collecting information about: 1. the most relevant SMEs in the Blue Economy sector; 2. their needs in terms of demand/supply; 3. their level of innovation and adherence to S3; 4. their  innovative solutions. This collection was crucial for Polo ALTO ADRIATICO  to establish a real baseline,  systematized in an survey analysis report at the end of the semester, aimed at illustrating the “State of the Art” with regards to the Blue Economy and SMEs, in the target territories, with the contribution of all project partners. Of particular relevance in the survey analysis report was the one related to the \"territorial needs\" for each region of the Programme Area concerned, from which the partners started, again with the general coordination of Polo ALTO ADRIATICO, to identify innovative ad-hoc solutions through a process of exchange of good practices.  Such process, during the semester one, coincided with the first draft aimed at producing the Innovation Catalogue of Advisory and Supporting Services for Enterprises / SMEs of Blue Economy, which will contain information on the innovative solutions by existing regional innovation hubs (the partners themselves) to  SMEs in Blue Economy sectors, such as:  fishing/aquaculture, nautical sectors and related services, and fisheries tourism.  Both documents, which will be validated (the first one) and completed (the second one) in the next period have been created through a continuous exchange of inputs by project partners with Polo ALTO ADRIATICO, clearly summarising the state of the art of the Blue Economy in the sectors and territories concerned. The added value of cooperation in this case coincided with the possibility of having individual territorial analyses, the results of which will be subsequently incorporated into a catalogue of existing services, useful for supporting the Blue Economy SMEs and partners, at a cross-border level. Lastly, both documents will serve as a reference point in the next semester to discuss about the matching between the Innovation Catalogue and the SMEs’ needs in terms of demand /supply of sea jobs and innovation needs, during the organization of a first in-presence meeting in Italy, to concretely activate the Cross-Border Innovation Hub Network, which is in turn the Output1.1. foreseen by the end of the second semester. \nIn the second period, the BLUESLINKS project moving from planning to action. Project Partners have been involved in the understanding what SMEs in the Blue Economy truly need to thrive. For this purpose, one of the biggest achievement was the completion of an SMEs Matchmaking Study. This in-depth analysis helped the project partners pinpoint the key challenges and opportunities for Blue Economy business in targeted regions of BLUESLINKS project. Based on these findings and a Catalogue of Supporting BE Services, also drafted during this second period, the project partners were able to design a Cross-Border Strategy. The Strategy, that will be validated in the next period, is essentially the BLUESLINKS roadmap, guiding the innovative services and support that partners offer to SMEs of BE in the coming months, particularly during the upcoming Info Days on BE innovative services, where business can learn more.   \nHowever, preliminary condition for the provision of these innovative Blue Economy services was also the productive meeting at the ECOMONDO event in Rimini, where partners discussed about the content of the Catalogue of Supporting Blue Economy Services, and through a mutual understanding, also agreed about the contents of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formally establishing a  \"Cross-Border Cluster of Services and Best Practices for the Blue Economy.\" The document signed by almost all project partners by  the end of the Period 2, and only by the PP2 at the beginning of the third period,  is more than a just document,  it is a long-term promise of cooperation between Italian and Croatian regions, ensuring partners’ efforts to boost the Blue Economy continue well beyond the project's official end. Moreover, the MoU, in line with the first specific objective of the BLUESLINKS project, and its first output, get down the basis for the creation of an network of innovative centres, composed by the same partners, promoting the adoption of innovative services, in line with regional and local specialization strategies on Blue Economy of the BLUESLINKS’ regions involved. \nPartners were also actively working to involve schools and young people in the project.  Some partners implemented awareness sessions in secondary schools to spark interest in Blue Economy careers, and have already planned study visits to relevant SMEs of Blue Economy in the next period. This is in coherence with the willingness of the project to show to young people the exciting possibilities within this vital sector.\nThis period has truly highlighted the added value of cross-border cooperation. By jointly analyzing regional needs, developing a shared strategy, and coordinating events, partners started also to think jointly to the  support to be offered to the SMEs in the next periods. This also helps better match job demand with supply in the Blue Economy, strengthening employment opportunities. Sharing solutions and best practices between Italian and Croatian partners is helping to build the Adriatic region into a unified, innovative, and sustainable Blue Economy hub. \nUp to the end of Period 3, BLUESLINKS has achieved significant advancements in building a structured, cross-border innovation ecosystem dedicated to strengthening traditional Blue Economy sectors and creating new employment pathways in coastal territories of Italy and Croatia. The project is progressing coherently, with important cooperation dynamics consolidated.  A key accomplishment is the achievement of Specific Objective 1 Through the combined efforts of all partners, BLUESLINKS successfully established a “Cluster of Best Practices and Services”, formalized by the signing of the MoU at the beginning of Period 3. This network represents a lasting mechanism for cooperation, connecting local authorities, SMEs, research centres, training institutions, and civil society organizations. Its long-term value lies in its commitment to offering innovative services to SMEs and supporting employability initiatives in Blue Economy sectors well beyond the project’s lifetime. WP1 also delivered strong engagement results. Local Focus Groups implemented have involved, until this moment 64 stakeholders across both sides of the Adriatic—SMEs, schools, research bodies and public authorities—who will contribute to provide insights into needs, challenges and innovation priorities within the framework of the Cluster of Best Practices and Services. In parallel, dissemination activities in schools introduced the foundations of the Blue Economy to interested students, supporting early vocational orientation and awareness on sea-related professions.  WP2 also progressed substantially during Period 3. Building on the Innovation Catalogue and the Cross-Border Strategy, Innovation Action Plans for Blue Economy SMEs and sea-related jobs, one for each targeted sector: aquaculture and fisheries, fisheries tourism, and nautical and linked services were produced. These plans identify non-technological, technological, technology-transfer and environmental sustainability services available to SMEs within the Cluster of Best Practices and Services, and define key actions, catalogable innovations and synergic services, providing a practical framework for Info Days and SME exchanges.  A first Info Day for the Nautical Sector was held on 22 May at the Centar za kreativnu industriju in Zadar, involving 13 SMEs (4 Croatian on site and 9 Italian online); the event presented innovative business tools, digital solutions, financial planning, funding opportunities and success stories. The afternoon session enabled cross-fertilization and match-making meetings among SMEs, start-ups and young professionals. BLUESLINKS also marked a decisive step forward with the activation of WP3 match-making mechanism. The project organized the first cross-border Hackathon on nautical and linked services in Ancona. The two-day event gathered 64 participants, including 31 graduates/start-uppers, 21 SMEs, and 12 partners and mentors, producing four innovative solutions. The winning team, BlueAccess, demonstrated the effectiveness of the Hackathon model in generating creativity, entrepreneurship and concrete outputs. This event represents the first operational activation of the BLUESLINKS match-making mechanism, successfully testing a methodology that will guide all future Hackathons and remain active after project closure. Alongside the Hackathon, the first Innovation Open Day and Young Area were held in Ancona, engaging students, SMEs, experts and institutions and contributing significantly to the project’s communication objectives. Cooperation was further reinforced during the Project Meeting in Ancona on 23 of May, enabling coordinated planning and strengthening the partnership. A major institutional milestone was the Mid-Term Review, held on 16 September, where partners received positive feedback from the Joint Secretariat on progress, management efficiency and methodological solidity.

["ITHR0200060","Improving the last MILE accessibility of Adriatic PORTs","MILEPORT helps to solve the weak last mile accessibility of Adriatic ports, affecting their integration into the respective cities and hinterlands, causing multimodal transport inefficiency, weaker economic growth, higher transport-related air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. To change this, cooperation on both shores of the Adriatic Sea is vital, because the issues to be tackled are common and cover operational topics that cannot be dealt at local level, given the global nature of transport flows. This is why cooperation among transport operators who represent key actors in the logistic chain, each of them contributing to the overall efficiency of multimodal connectivity, is essential to improve the last mile accessibility of Adriatic ports and strengthen territorial cohesion. To achieve this, we will focus on digitalisation, drafting medium and long-term planning tools and testing IT tools in our territories, enabling us to set common standards. We will start by benchmarking the current situation of our regions with the available best practices, and drafting a strategy and action plans in two IT topics: vehicle booking systems/transport flow optimisation and port gate optimisation. Then, we will jointly test them in result-oriented pilot actions in different locations, compare their outcomes and draw related lessons, translated into solutions being able to be replicated in other regions. As a result, transport stakeholders will be able to see concrete improvements in the efficiency of last mile connection to/from Adriatic ports already during the project lifetime, and residents in port cities will enjoy a better balance between the local community’s and the port’s needs. In the 30 months of cooperation we expect to establish a joint cooperation and development path in order to a ensure a medium- and long-term improvement of last mile connections in the Adriatic ports in a coordinated sea-land approach and a stronger territorial cohesion.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

The LP took part physically at the “EUSALP AG4 26TH meeting” on 26th September 2024 in Trieste and online, explaining the project’s goal, outputs and expected results to the members of the EUSALP AG4 met in Trieste. The event was attended by an employee of the LP1 (Cozzi). The LP presented the project at the \"Multimodal Activities Workshop\" organized by MERIDIAN project in Ravenna on 18th December 2024. The event was attended by some employees of the project partners (LP – Bevilacqua, Carli and Cozzi; PP2 –Baldassin; PP3 – Bonazza, Fedi, Mazzotti, Biasi).\nLP summarized the means and results achieved of the communication and dissemination activities implemented (within WP1) as to raise the awareness and increase knowledge of target groups on the MILEPORT strategy and action plans, including target group quantitative and qualitative description.\n\nEight major ports from Italy and Croatia are working together within the MILEPORT project to enhance the last-mile accessibility of Adriatic ports through innovative digital solutions applied to road transport. The project focuses on two key domains:\nTraffic flow management and vehicle booking systems (VBS);\nGate management and entry/exit tools and procedures.\nLaunched in February 2024, MILEPORT began with strong collaboration among partners, leading to the joint development of a cross-border strategy for improving last-mile accessibility through ICT.\nAfter this initial phase, the ports were organized into two thematic groups—each comprising Italian and Croatian partners—corresponding to the two focus areas. Through dedicated meetings, the groups exchanged experiences, identified shared challenges, agreed on categories of stakeholders to involve, and defined common Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).\nDuring the second reporting period, each group met local stakeholders to collect feedback, requests, and ideas on the planned actions. These consultations were crucial in shaping two joint Action Plans, detailing specific tasks for each partner, expected results, timelines, required resources, and KPIs.\nThe jointly defined actions were then presented and discussed in a mutual learning workshop, where the Lead Partner summarised the key findings and outcomes. The Strategies and Action Plans were formally adopted by all partners through dedicated letters of commitment, marking an important milestone for the project.\nFollowing adoption, activities moved to the co-design, implementation, and evaluation of pilot actions, with partners working together to define the technical content and implementation plans for their pilots. These were finalized by the end of the second reporting period, together with the cross-border strategy developed earlier, forming a major achievement within MILEPORT’s first outputs.\nThroughout 2025, and particularly in the third reporting period, partners have continued to collaborate on implementing and testing of pilot actions aimed at improving last-mile accessibility through ICT. The involvement of stakeholders and technical departments proved essential to prepare and launch these activities, which by the end of the year will be either completed or close to completion. Two deliverables released during the period assessed the status of the pilot implementation.\nRegarding traffic flow management and vehicle booking systems, the four partners involved are progressing at different stages. The pilots in this domain include, among others, the upgrade and integration of port community systems with new vehicle booking functionalities, the installation of traffic monitoring equipment and digital platforms to manage truck flows, and the development of mobile applications to support booking, real-time coordination, and access procedures. Project partners plan to complete their activities at the latest by March 2026, still within the project timeframe.\nFor gate and access management solutions, progress is generally on track. The pilots focus on introducing or upgrading automated gate systems, implementing license plate recognition technologies, and integrating digital access management tools to improve efficiency and security at port entry and exit points. While one partner, the Port of Ancona, anticipated the conclusion of its pilot, the other partners suffered some delays in the preparation of procurement procedure or in the execution of the implementation activities and currently expect to finalize their activities by March 2026 and, in the case of PP5 Port of Bari, in April 2026.\nAlongside these technical developments, MILEPORT has placed great emphasis on communication and dissemination activities to increase visibility and awareness of its strategy and outcomes. The Lead Partner produced promotional materials, issued the third project newsletter, regularly updated the project website and social media channels, and created a video presenting the MILEPORT strategies and action plans.\nProject partners also took part in several major sector events and conferences, showcasing MILEPORT’s approach and progress:\nLETExpo Fair, Verona – 11–14 March 2025;\nCroatian Port Days, Dubrovnik – 27–28 March 2025;\nTransport Logistic Fair, Munich – 4 June 2025;\nTRANSPONEXT Conference “Adriatic Ports in Transition: Collaboration for a Sustainable & Digital Future,” Zadar – 2 July 2025.\nThrough these combined efforts, MILEPORT is strengthening cooperation between Italian and Croatian ports and promoting the digital transformation of last-mile logistics across the Adriatic. The project is paving the way toward a more efficient, sustainable, and interconnected port system—benefiting regional economies and contributing to a smarter, greener future for maritime transport in the Adriatic area.","Ploče, Zadar, Rijeka, Bari, Ancona, Ravenna, Venice, Trieste","HR, IT",null,"Italia (IT), Trieste, Via Karl Ludwig von Bruck, 3, 34144\nItalia (IT), Ancona, Molo S.Maria, snc, 60121\n",null,null,null,9]
["ITHR0200416","Cross-border digital innovation Hub for innovative marine technology","Based on regional innovation scoreboard,global innovation index&EUSAIR, main challenges in Programme area is lack of cooperation and coordination between the two countries' innovation ecosystems that hinders the sharing of knowledge, expertise and resources. It can lead to duplication of efforts and missed opportunities for collaboration. Limited access to funding for innovative projects due to a lack of awareness of funding opportunities or insufficient funding options. Cross-border region faces a low competitiveness on international markets of SMEs and shortage of the human skills capacities, which can hinder the development and implementation of innovative projects. Innovative solutions can be developed in one ecosystem, for example science institutions, and never reach application in practice. So it is crucial to create an environment in which this transfer of knowledge, information, and resources from one stakeholder to another will happen in the most efficient way. Cross-border Digital innovation Hub Innovamare emerged as a real answer that can support these processes. Essential for innovation players is to be a part of co-creation ecosystems that will allow them to grow, expand and share knowledge and experience. Project is set up on mission-oriented approach that rather than focusing on sector, mission-oriented policy focuses on problem-specific societal challenges, which many different sectors interact to solve. Our focus is on innovation players to increase effectiveness of innovation activities in field of marine technologies in direction of sustainability of Adriatic sea as a strategical societal challenge on cross-border level. DIH Innovamare will continue to capitalize results accomplished in strategic project Innovamare and add new dimension by expanding cross-border innovation ecosystem with new stakeholders specially young researchers, implement pilot actions as showcase of technology transfer, raise innovation capacities with educational modules and work on development of new funding instruments for blue economy.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_1) Sustainable growth in the blue economy","RSO1.1.

This involved a first meeting regarding the organization of the brainstorming sessions – A1.1 on topics of digital and green transformation and transfer of knowledge and will be organized by project partner experts online during the second period. Materials for these sessions were developed in the InnovaMare project.\nWe have started with A 1.2 Mapping best practices in the cooperation between the private sector, the scientific community, and applied research in marine technologies to get a clear overview of what blue economy sectors we have most implemented marine technological solutions, who are the stakeholders involved in this cooperation and what are mostly used marine technologies. In this period, we have also started with the first steps in A.2.1 Mapping of young researchers on the cross-border level in the field of marine technologies for expanding Innovamare map of excellence, which is part of WP 2 to have an overview of young researchers on the cross-border level in the field of marine technologies and marine research.\nThose activities started together with desk research, made by each partner for itself. For this purpose, LP CCE along with PP8 UCV has developed a methodology for mapping and shared it with the partner consortium. Each partner has made 3-5 interviews directly with mapped stakeholders, and partners RBI, ARTI, UNIZD, W&M, CNR, and LP-CCE have made 4-6 interviews with young researchers. PP RBI and ARTI developed the methodology for mapping young researchers. \nThe added value of those activities is in the promotion of the project and Interreg program with an expanding map of excellence bringing new actors' profiles in our ecosystem that we will use for further activities because the mapping process will enable all relevant data to be collected for act 2.2. and matching young researchers’ expertise and the company’s needs.\nParallel with those two activities we started with the preparation and organization of the conference in Padua where the mapping results will be presented. It will be organized by LP and UCV with the help of the Associated partner University of Padua. The conference will bring stakeholders in the blue economy sector together and raise awareness among stakeholders on what kind of use cases there are so they can implement possibly already existing solutions to improve their production, products, or processes that will have less impact on the marine ecosystem. \nIn this first work package, we started with the preparation of a first video newsletter. It will be conceived to promote the DIH InnovaMare project. The newsletter will consist of video clips relating to partners, their role in the project, and expectations regarding their involvement in the project.\nRegarding communication activities, project information has been disseminated through the whole Partners Consortium official web pages and social media profiles, project poster has been printed and displayed at Partners Consortium premises. We established project social media profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube using existing social media profiles established in the Strategic project InnovaMare. This continuation of the active use of existing profiles on social networks will certainly keep the created InnovaMare community active and help in its expansion by bringing in new actors, exchanging information, and novelties, and promoting the project.  \nLP presented the project during the EMRA workshop held in Arenzano, Italy, on 27-29 May 2024 hosted by PP CNR, the event gathered stakeholders from the blue economy and 24 project presentations. EMRA agenda is available on the following link: https://emra-24.marinerobotics.eu/programme/ \nThe project supported the JS initiative - Call to action - Consultations on the future of Interreg post 2027. To position the Interreg program as best as possible in the next program period, after 2027, we asked our partner consortium for a contribution to this initiative. We shared with them a Survey for stakeholders and a Survey for citizens to fill in. \nActivity 3.1: The SWAMP was tested during the first phase (P1) of the project. During this phase, CNR personnel received training to effectively use the platform.\nPPs created deliverables D.1.1.3 Kick-off Meeting Report, D.1.1.4 Communication Plan, D.1.1.5 Partnership Agreement, and D.1.1.6 Quality Implementation Manual. LP organized regular monthly meetings with project partners to keep updated with the implementation.\n\nThe second period of the DIH InnovaMare project has marked significant progress in advancing digital innovation and fostering cross-border collaboration within the maritime sector. \nIt began with activity 1.2, which focused on mapping best practices for collaboration between the private sector in marine technologies. Combining desk research and interviews conducted by each partner and the designed methodology, we mapped new stakeholders and their best practices (20). It gave a clear overview of which blue economy sectors implemented the most marine technology and solutions. Parallel with this, we mapped young researchers in marine technologies and marine research. We identified their strengths, interests, and areas for improvement, creating a solid foundation for future collaborations. As a result, the Map of Excellence on the Mairos platform (www.mairos.org) has been enriched with these new profiles, enlarging the innovation ecosystem. After mapping, we organized a conference in Padua (UCV, University of Padova, W&M), gathering stakeholders focused on advancing sustainable marine technologies in the blue economy. The conference showcased the importance of knowledge-sharing and regional cooperation in driving innovation within the blue economy.\nLater, two brainstorming sessions (CCE and UCV) were organized and brought together industry leaders and experts to explore the impact of digital technologies on the maritime sector and discuss how digital technology can transform the blue economy and what the technology transfer processes are. Both sessions played a vital role in promoting collaboration and supporting innovation in the sector. UNIZD has started with preparations for the third BS in Zadar. \nTo identify the challenges in blue economy sectors that could be addressed by innovative marine technologies, the project launched an open call (activity 4.1) based on the created methodology. Companies and research institutions were invited to propose innovative solutions to these challenges using their expertise. This approach encourages collaboration and supports the development of technologies that can make a positive impact on the maritime sector.\nIn addition, we prepared a cross-border mentoring program (Activity 2.2) to connect researchers with industry needs. It will be delivered through the mentoring session to connect young researchers with experienced experts—mentors. Preparations for the first mentoring session in Zadar are underway.\nWe initiated focus groups (Activity 1.3) to connect marine tech companies with other sectors of the blue economy. These groups will support businesses in adopting technologies that promote digital and green transformations. The first session will be held in Zadar.\nWe have been working actively to increase awareness of the project and engage the wider community. Our social media presence has grown steadily, providing followers with regular updates, success stories, and milestones. The statistics for social media channels Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram show impressive engagement and growth. \nWith reach (from 5700) and visits (from 696), we measure good visibility, helping to attract more followers and engagement (120). Facebook profile is gaining momentum, with strong growth in engagement and visits. \nThe LinkedIn profile is showing strong performance, with impressive growth (4,656) in visibility, reactions (165), reposts, and followers (807), indicating strong audience engagement. The steady increase in new followers suggests that the profile's content is resonating well and is likely to continue to gain popularity.\nInstagram statistics show positive engagement growth. Reach increased by 368.4%, visits by 32.1%, and followers by 57.1%, reflecting the increasing interest of visitors in converting to followers. Instagram profiles are gaining traction, with increased visibility and engagement. We are active on project web pages, publishing all information connected with the project. \nAll these efforts have helped create a vibrant, engaged community of stakeholders invested in the project’s success. \nThe project's partners played vital roles, including managing technical, financial, and communication aspects, mapping activities, contributing to the Map of Excellence, creating the first video newsletter (ARTI), and promoting the open call for blue economy challenges. They participated in the conference in Padova and the online brainstorming sessions organized within the project. The partnership contributed to the second SCOM meeting in Padova. \nThe DIH InnovaMare project has successfully met its objectives, fostering cross-border collaboration within the maritime sector. By promoting knowledge-sharing, encouraging innovation, and strengthening cooperation between research, industry, and local governments, the project has contributed to the sustainable growth of the blue economy. Additionally, it has helped build a connected community capable of addressing future challenges.\n\n\nDuring the third project period, the DIH InnovaMare project made significant progress in fostering digital and sustainable transformation of the Adriatic Blue Economy. The project successfully delivered its first major objectives: creating a shared platform for collaboration, raising awareness of digital and green solutions, and piloting innovative marine technologies.\nThis period was marked by the completion of Work Package 1, through three new brainstorming sessions (UNIZD, RBI CNR, ARTI) and two focus groups (CCE, CNR, ARTI) held in Zadar and Lecce, A.1.1. and A1.3. These activities engaged stakeholders from nautical tourism, biodiversity monitoring, and marine technologies, producing concrete challenges and solutions and strengthening academia–industry–policy dialogue. Certificates of participation were issued, acknowledging stakeholder engagement. Within WP1, project partners, in collaboration with stakeholders from the Map of Excellence, created a series of video case studies titled “Success Stories from the Adriatic Blue Economy,” published on the project website. This deliverable showcases exemplary use cases of digital and sustainable marine technologies across key blue economy sectors and their impact on tourism, aquaculture, transport, and environmental protection (ARTI; UNIZD; RBI; UCV; W%M; CCE; SKZ). \nAll partners participated in the 3rd Steering Committee Meeting in Lecce (20 May 2025), reviewing financial, technical, and communication updates and preparing for the midterm meeting.\nIn WP2, capacity-building efforts included mentoring sessions in Zadar and Lecce, which helped align research with market needs. Mentoring sessions (UNIZD, ARTI) A.2.2 linked young researchers with mentors and businesses, helping them transform ideas into market-ready innovations. \nWP3—A major highlight was the pilot action in Porto Cesareo (Italy), where a solar-powered smart buoy demonstrated real-time monitoring of environmental conditions and protection of underwater archaeological heritage, showcasing innovation at the intersection of research, technology, and cultural tourism. ARTI organized and hosted a study visit to the pilot site in Torre Chianca in the Marine Protected Area of Porto Cesareo. CNR has developed a pilot in the Venice Lagoon with Wireless and More, testing a modular wireless system for cooperative navigation and mission control of UMVs.\nIn WP4, all partners supported the Open Call process: collection, evaluation, and assessment of challenges.\nDIH InnovaMare deepened collaboration with related projects such as BLUE ECOSYSTEM, BRIGANTINE, MARESKILL, and INNOVABLUE, ensuring alignment with broader EU initiatives. The project was presented at the INNOVABLUE event in Šibenik (June 2025), raising visibility and fostering new connections.\nCommunication—Social media outreach has experienced rapid growth. We posted 45 posts on SM. Throughout the period, the project’s SM channels grew steadily, with LinkedIn emerging as the fastest-growing platform. It now has 830 followers, increasing impressions by 25.3%, reactions by 15.8%, and interactions by 56.4%. \nFacebook: 587 followers, 5,700 reach, 696 visits, 120 engagements; LinkedIn: 830 followers, 4,656 visibility, 165 reactions; and Instagram: 407 followers, 222 posts, 304 followings. \nWe were active on the project website and the Mairos platform (www.Mairos.org). We have produced and distributed the second video newsletter (led by ARTI), spotlighting partner roles and project milestones.

It focuses on strengthening the blue economy by addressing skill gaps, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable growth through transnational cooperation. Collaborative efforts among partners have resulted in the successful delivery of key outputs and the initiation of activities critical for future phases.\nOne of the major achievements is the development of the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP) Methodology (D.1.1.4). This framework enables the systematic analysis of the blue economy sectors, identifying trends, challenges, and opportunities while mapping workforce skill gaps. The methodology integrates insights from stakeholders across academia, industry, and policymaking, ensuring it is both comprehensive and aligned with real market needs. This collaborative approach enhances the project's relevance and long-term impact.\nAnother key deliverable, the Communication Plan (D.1.1.1), was finalized to guide dissemination efforts. It defines strategies for engaging stakeholders, raising awareness about the importance of blue skills development, and sharing project results. The launch of the project website and active social media engagement have already reached a wide audience, promoting the project’s objectives and its contribution to sustainable blue economy growth.\nThe Partnership Agreement (D.1.1.2) was established early in the project to formalize partners' roles and responsibilities, ensuring smooth collaboration and effective project implementation. Regular project meetings have further supported alignment and efficient decision-making.\nProgress has also been made in preparatory activities for future deliverables. The structured questionnaire (D.1.2.1), currently under development, will collect qualitative and quantitative data from key stakeholders, providing essential insights into workforce needs. Initial work on the project newsletter (D.1.1.3) is underway, focusing on sharing updates and achievements with a broad audience.\n\nBy the end of the second reporting period, the MareSkill project had made significant progress in addressing skill gaps across essential blue economy sectors, including aquaculture, maritime tourism, marine technologies, environmental protection, and digital innovation. This progress was achieved through a coordinated and evidence-based approach that relied on stakeholder participation and cross-border collaboration.\nIn line with its objectives, during PR2, the project applied the previously developed Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP) methodology (D.1.1.4), which served as the conceptual and operational basis for all subsequent activities. This methodology was used to create a comprehensive stakeholder questionnaire (D.1.2.1) and to conduct interviews across Croatia and Italy with companies, students, and institutions. The collected input focused on current and future skills needs, preferred training methods, and emerging sectoral challenges. The data analysis (D.1.2.2) was initiated and will be completed in PR3, providing the analytical foundation for pilot course implementation and policy dialogue.\nBased on these findings, the project successfully designed seven modular pilot education programs (D.2.1.1) at EQF Level 5, structured around micro-credentials and ECVET/ECTS principles. These courses are bilingual, modular, and flexible, tailored to the needs of students, NEETs, and professionals. Their content includes syllabi, learning outcomes, and assessment strategies customized for the MareSkill LMS platform, which was developed as an additional project deliverable and deployed during PR2 to support multilingual access and academic authentication (AAI/eduGAIN). Although not formally listed as a deliverable in the project application and Jems, the LMS represents a significant project output that ensures the long-term usability and monitoring of learning progress.\nA key milestone was the international Workshop on Designing Effective Training Programmes (D.2.1.2), held in Zadar in February 2025, which gathered 20 experts from all partner institutions. The workshop served as both a peer review and training event, allowing participants to evaluate and refine course content while testing the LMS platform. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, confirming the relevance and quality of the developed materials.\nCommunication and visibility efforts were strategically aligned with the project’s horizontal principles and sectoral goals. The first project newsletter (D.1.1.3) was produced and disseminated, supported by the Communication Plan (D.1.1.1), which ensured consistency in all public materials. MareSkill was presented at numerous national and international events, including the InnovaMare Academy 2.0 (October 2024), the Smart4Food conference (December 2024), the Green Eye Festival (January 2025), and a dedicated blue economy panel at the EcoMinds and EverGreen project day (October 2024). These engagements raised awareness about the project’s aims and involved students, educators, policymakers, and the general public.\n\nImportantly, MareSkill’s added value lies in its cross-border cooperation, involving partners and stakeholders from Italy and Croatia. In addition to formal partners, the project engaged five non-partner universities: the University of Bari, the University of Foggia, the Università del Salento, the University of Padua, and the University of Verona through interviews and events. Notably, these institutions actively participated in the Quality Aquaculture pilot course (March 2025, Bari) and the international blue economy conference (November 2024, Padua), directly contributing to the project’s deliverables and stakeholder network. Their involvement supported the achievement of output indicator RCO87_1.2, related to institutional cooperation across borders.\nFinally, groundwork has been laid for further stakeholder engagement and policy dialogue, including the initial drafting of cross-border recommendations on educational methods and credentialing (D.1.3.1) and the preparation of two roundtables (D.1.3.2) scheduled to take place in Croatia and Italy during the next reporting period. These activities confirm that MareSkill is not only delivering technical outputs but is also building a sustainable ecosystem for cooperation, innovation, and reform in blue economy education.\nDuring PR2, four coordination meetings (OMU/SC) were held on 13 November 2024, 19 December 2024, 27 January 2025, and 17 March 2025, ensuring consistent partner engagement and timely implementation of project activities.\nMareSkill has progressively built a strong cross-border collaboration framework that encourages innovation, education, and sustainable growth in the blue economy. Since starting implementation, the partnership has collaboratively analyzed sectoral trends, involved key stakeholders across the Adriatic, and developed new learning methods that address the evolving needs of maritime and blue-tech industries. These efforts demonstrate the project’s cumulative impact on increasing knowledge, skills, and competitiveness in the cooperation area.\nA key milestone already achieved is Output 1.1, which confirms effective collaboration among all organizations officially listed in the Financing Agreement. Through shared analytical work and co-developing educational concepts, the partnership has built a strong foundation for enhancing teaching and training practices.\nSignificant progress has also been achieved toward Output 2.1. The initial joint pilot course validated the relevance and feasibility of the developed training programs, offering practical insights into learner engagement and early evidence of how the MareSkill educational model can support upskilling and reskilling in blue-economy sectors. These findings will assist in refining the full set of pilot courses.\nThroughout implementation, the partnership has maintained consistent project management, transparent monitoring, and a unified quality assurance approach. These processes have supported coordinated progress, enhanced mutual learning, and ensured alignment with project objectives. At the same time, communication and stakeholder engagement activities increased visibility and helped build a broader understanding of future skill requirements in the blue economy.\nThe cumulative deliverables completed so far have strengthened the analytical foundation for identifying blue-economy skill gaps, supported the development of innovative training programs, and facilitated initial real-world testing.

["ITHR0200204","Value plus to cultural districts for the tourist enhancement of the cross-border area","VALUE Plus capitalises on the results of the VALUE project, implemented under the 2014-2020 Interreg IT-HR programme. The positive experience has increased the awareness that the challenges faced by the two countries, i.e. the need to diversify tourist flows, to delocalise tourism towards a cultural offer in the nearby hinterland, to innovate the tourist offer and make it more accessible, can be successfully overcome with district collaboration. Strengthening, improving, transferring the results of VALUE to other areas of the programme increases the management capacity of territories and their promotion. The District Governance Model represents a stimulus to innovate, especially through the involvement of young people, universities, cultural associations, tourism operators and the local community. VALUE Plus will expand the boundaries of 2 existing districts and it will transfer the good practice by creating 3 new districts; the jointly developed Meta-District Strategy will find its concretisation in a cross-border Action Plan. New district, new paths and new topics will be defined and published on the Diomede platform, improved in graphics and usability. Students of all levels are involved in training and exchange activities between the two countries. Businesses are involved and with them new products are developed that are attentive to making places accessible to people with disabilities. The skills of tourism operators are enhanced through training activities and study visits. Eight pilot actions will be implemented, some of which will create the premises for places of involvement and innovative development of research and products of tourist attractiveness, while other will represent forms of promotion of the district. An extensive awareness and promotion campaign will be implemented.

The partnership developed the guidelines for the socio-economic and SWOT analysis, aimed at assessing the main lines of development of the district model and the most effective governance system. The development of the joint strategy relies on the definition of the district as an effective governance model for the valorization of the project territories, that is based on the collection of data and comparative SWOT analysis on the district governance models. Additionally, partners began the identification process for the stakeholders to be integrated in the district and actively participating in the definition of the joint strategy and subsequent cross-border Action Plan. The involvement of the entrepreneurial (and public) sector in the definition of the Meta-District of Culture contributes to the achievement of the specific communication objective on the involvement of the private sector and cultural/creative enterprises in the governance of the district, creating the preconditions for the development of tourism products and identifying stakeholders for training activities for competitive skill enhancement.  \nAmong the indicators that form part of the tool set for the carrying out of the socio-economic analysis, indicators to map the educational needs of the district are were included. The analyzed data stemming from the socio-economic analysis will provide baseline information for the drafting  \nProgress was achieved by the partnership in the objective of enhancement of the cultural hubs to enrich the Adriatic-Ionian tourist routes, through the activation of the first steps in the development of the pilot actions (WP4).\n\nCore achievements of the second project period include:\n● Preliminary socio-economic analysis and SWOT analysis developed for the Delta Po District (draft), Medulin District, Cres-Lošinj district, DubrovnikDurbovnik District and Sud Salento District. Focus of the analyses have been critical issues within the tourism sector. This involved defining key indicators and collecting and analyzing data across several macro areas: demographics, economy, culture, sustainability, infrastructure and accessibility, and occupation. A specific focus was placed on identifying critical issues in tourism (D.1.1.1). A SWOT analysis (D.1.1.2) further assessed the district's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To provide a broader context, case studies (cultural district governance models) were included in the analysis and integrated at project level to identify good practices and reach a preliminary governance model for the Meta-District of Culture.\n● Cross-border training activities planned and detailed at project level (activities A.2.2, A.2.3, A.2.4). A document describing the cross-border exchange activities between groups of students, including the documentation of study trips, has been prepared (D.2.2.2) to guide all partners in the implementation and monitoring of the foreseen training activities of WP2.\n● Didactic kit developed (D.2.4.1) with inputs from all PPs and Museums, translated in Italian and Croatian (translated by PP5 Cres), and with the contribution of external experts contracted by IDECO. The digital kit has been developed in three different versions: simplified (age < 9), base (9-12), advanced (12+) and includes: learning modules, illustrated story, printable sheets and teacher materials. The learning modules cover the following topics: history of tourism, overtourism v. sustainable tourism, tourism and biodiversity, cultural and natural heritage, landscape reading, focus on the project pilot actions, EU and Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme, VALUE Plus project, laboratory materials and quizzes. \n● Project gadgets (D.2.4.3) produced and distributed to all PPs for the training activities, including t-shirts, caps, cardholders, pencils for the training participants. The gadgets were received on 20th January2025.\n● Progress in the development of the pilot actions for all project partners (WP4)\n● Contractualization of the subject that will take care of the mapping and graphic renewal of the digital platform Diomede for the promotion of the sustainable tourism offers and cultural district paths developed within the project.\n\nIn the third reporting period, VALUE Plus shifted from preparation to delivery across governance, training, mapping and pilots. The partnership completed the Mid-term Review (18 July 2025), secured the Major Modification, and realigned timelines. Cooperation added value by synchronising schedules, sharing tools & keeping pilots, training & mapping aligned. Regular PMU/SC meetings (incl. 20 March & Cres 10–11 June) and the updated Communication Plan sustained joint decision-making and outreach.\nLP1 – Municipality of Ravenna ensured coordination & monitoring while advancing the MAR pilot. In WP1 it helped finalise the socio-economic & SWOT analyses and rescheduled A.1.2–A.1.4 to protect stakeholder participation. Inputs from the Mentimeter exercise in Cres (June 2025) fed governance & Action Plans. In WP2, LP1 co-designed trainings & finalised the organization of the Summer School (15–26 Sept 2025, Ravenna), started up the logistics procurement; outreach was coordinated across partners.

["ITHR0200418","Cross-border coordinated sea-land approach interconnecting ports of the Adriatic Sea with airports and urban areas","The current proposal focuses on the improvement of ports’ inter-modality capacities to make them greener, more ICT based & more integrated with the hinterland’s needs. \n\nLow level of integration among different modes of transportation & insufficient investments in sustainable and low-carbon transportation technologies are characterising several regions in the Adriatic area. The Croatian and Italian Adriatic coasts are rich in touristic destinations, which are reached by millions of tourists every year. Even though the road transportation is still predominant, the number of tourists that are reaching Adriatic towns and cities by ferries and airplanes is significantly increasing. Unfortunately, most Adriatic ports and airports are suffering from lack of connections with other modes of transportation, causing serious traffic congestion problems, especially during the summer seasons. There is also a strong need to develop and to implement more sustainable & technologically advanced solutions in the maritime transport & port sectors, considering that the majority of ports facilities are lagging behind the EU average when it comes to sustainable environmental performances.\n\nThe overall objective is to develop a multi-modal coordinated sea-land approach based on sustainable and technologically advanced solutions to interconnect Croatian and Italian ports with urban areas and airports, improving passengers’ mobility.\n\nIn order to do that, the project will implement a set of structured activities based on cross-border and cooperative approach and will produce two main outputs:\n\n> Sustainable & ICT solutions’ testing actions: a first phase of capitalisation of the available knowledge from Interreg projects will lead to a definition of a cross-border transfer strategy, with the aim to test new sustainable & innovative ICT based solutions, which will speed up the passengers processing from/to ports and airports and urban areas. All PPs will then define and test joint pilot actions that will lead to the implementation of a Manual on tested solutions.\n\n> Strategic Roadmaps interconnecting ports with urban areas & airports: all PPs will work jointly to formalise the tested intermodal connections by drafting a Strategic Roadmap aimed at transferring the CROSSCONNECT model to other port authorities. The roadmap will be presented at Cross-border Forum and at dedicated roundtables with all ports operating in the Adriatic Sea with the aim of engaging the ports and port authorities and to explain on how to adapt modernised and sustainable operational and technological solutions that have been tested through the project and to commit them towards the creation of a new or modernised connection with airports and urban transport authorities to enhance the mobility of passengers.\n\nThe project will be implemented by 4 Port Authorities, 2 Airports, 2 Urban Transport Authorities & 2 Associated Ports. Moreover, the abovementioned outputs will reach a wider range of TGs, both at regional and national level, taking advantage of the networking opportunities to transfer and capitalise the gained knowledge. In particular other ports, airports and urban transport authorities located in the Programme area, municipalities where involved ports are located, regional authorities which own the airports and companies which are working on management of transportation services related to ports and airports, such as airline and ferry companies and other transportation services.\n\nThe cross-border multimodal sea-land approach that the project intends to promote and implement in the Adriatic area will be considered of a strategic importance because it will allow ports to define joint pilot actions both per type of connection and per territorial level.\nThis will represent an innovative aspect, since the definition of the testing action will be conducted primary at cross-border level, matching the pilot actions on the same type of intermodal connection (port-airport and port-urban area) in the 2 programme countries; this will bring to a strong cross-border cooperation that will see 4 partners from the 2 Countries working together in the joint definition of the pilot intervention. \n\nThe project will ensure an adequate capitalisation of the available solutions and know-how, by capturing knowledge produced by previous experiences and widening it to the interconnection between ports and airports and urban areas in a comprehensive approach that will include innovative ICT based and sustainable solutions. This will represent a key innovation aspect of the project, since a strategic approach involving the key transport means used by tourists and passengers in the Adriatic (ports and airports) and the urban areas is still missing.\n\nTheir effort in terms of coordination with hinterland facilities will improve the quality of the services offered for passenger mobility and foster an innovative and more sustainable mobility and connectivity in all the Adriatic area.","2024-03-01","2026-04-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

Each partner appointed one internal staff member and one external expert, who took part in the first CBTG meeting held in Venice on 15.07.2024. A second CBTG meeting in Pula has also been scheduled for 05.09.2024.  \nBefore the conclusion of the semester, partners also started to discuss a common methodology to translate all analysed measures into a collection of mobility solutions, aimed to explain their full potential and application rationale into the context of CROSSCONNECT.\nBased on this last step, a cross-border Transfer strategy will be developed in the next semester to provide a complete overvirew of the transfer, replication and adaptation possibilities for existing tools and technologies into the Italy-Croatia transport systems. \nAs a result of all activities undertaken, the project has progressed towards the common objective of capitalising and transferring existing knowledge on innovative and green intermodal solutions to a plurality of actors and different contexts, sharing similar problems but also diverse challenges and strengths. \nIn this sense, cross-national cooperation has been crucial in highlighting the true capitalisation potential of assessed measures & tools by means of comparing the different situations and reaching a common sense on which intervention fields are most strategic. \n\nIn direct continuation with the assessment and capitalisation activities, all partners have started to plan and preliminarily design a series of joint pilot actions, to be developed on the basis of the lessons learnt from the existing tools, knowledge and technologies. \nIn WP1, joint efforts continued on the Assessment & capitalisation phase, which led to the finalisation of D.1.1.1 Cross-border assessment and capitalisation report in its final version (in connection with the draft version produced in PR1). Additionally, the second meeting of the Cross-border technical working group (CBTG) took place in Pula under the coordination of PP5 ZLUP; after its conclusion, the final version of the CBGT report (D1.2.1) has been produced based on the structure already defined in PR1.  \nAs WP1 conclusion, partners also gathered and re-elaborated the knowledge produced into a final collection of identified mobility solutions (D1.3.1) and into a joint Transfer Strategy (O1.1) providing insights on how to address innovative mobility solutions in a wider capitalisation perspective at macro-regional level. \nWith the finalisation of WP1, partners also achieved the Specific objective 1 - To capitalise and transfer the available knowledge and strategies on innovative and green intermodal solutions. Particularly, partners managed to define a a joint framework enabling to capitalise on existing measures, ICT tools and carbon-reducing solutions, in function to adapting and adopting them at joint level and on a regional scale. With the finalisation of WP1 activities, a reference base for the transfer of existing knowledge in the field has been delivered.\n \nIn WP2, LP1 led the initial phase of pilot action definition by providing all partners with guidance on how to produce their Local Action Plans (1 per project region) and Joint Action Plans (for port-airport and port-urban connections respectively). All partners developed their own planning documents based on the common format and started to address the preparation of public tendering procedures for the selection of goods suppliers and service providers. Consequently, initial steps have been completed for Specific Objective 2 (To develop and test innovative green solutions and ICT tools for enhancing the processing of passengers between ports and other transport infrastructures (urban transport authorities and airports) to be partly achieved. Discussion and mutual exchange around innovative green solutions and ICT tools have occured among partners at multiple project stages, leading to outlining a guiding testing framework for each territorial testing action through the finalisation of D 2.1.1 Pilot action plans - both at joint regional level and at joint transport-type level.\n\nJoint communication and dissmeination activities continued in PR2 under the lead of PP8 STP and through the contribution of all partners, particularly in feeding the official project website and the social media channels. \nIn close collaboration with the JS, PP8 also revised and updated the Project Communication Strategy delivered in the previous project period.\nOn 25 October 2024, one representative from LP1 DBV and one from PP2 DPA attended the Adriatic Sea Forum 2024 edition in Ravenna, where CROSSCONNECT was presented at the Interreg VI-A Italy - Croatia CBC Programme 2021-2027 Round Table on “Making maritime tourism and trasport more sustainable: the contribution of Interreg Italy-Croatia projects”. The session was also attended by two representatives from the Port of Ancona (Autorità di Sistema \nPortuale del Mare Adriatico Centrale - Associated Partner). \nIn period 3, partners focused on the preparation and setup of their pilot testing actions (A2.2). \nThe following actions have been jointly carried out at each pilot action site: \n\na) LP1 and PP2 (Dubrovnik)\nLP1 and PP2 have finalised a beta version of an ICT tool for integrated timetabling and info sharing. The tool is now being tested, and the most suitable options for awareness-raising and usage among target audiences are being assessed (for a full deployment and users' feedback collection starting from period 4). \nIn parallel, both partners have adopted the foreseen solutions for green mobility at their own premises: the purchase of one electric tractor for baggage handling and of electric bicycles for LP1; the purchase of one electric vehicle for port passenger transfer operations for PP2. \n\nb) PP3 and PP4 (Venice)\nDuring period 3, partners were able to address the joint Feasibility Study as the main document guiding the pilot action design and rationale. Based on this tool, both partners are preparing and launching their public tendering procedures. The Feasibility Study has pointed out that regulatory frameworks, combined with key security and customs incompatibilities between the two partners’ infrastructure, are blocking a seamless “one-touch” baggage process. P3 and PP4 are therefore in the process of developing a lighter, more feasible “Fly & Cruise” pilot centred on charter flight connections, where procedural alignment is more achievable. \n\nc) PP5 and PP6 (Pula) \nPP5 installed a set of double \"smart\" containers with solar power for separate waste collection; the partner is also addressing integrated data sharing, together with the technical specification for the purchase of an electric charging station. In parallel, PP6 purchased one e-bus that started to operate a new bus line (co-developed by PP5 and PP6) connecting the port area with the city centre. PP6 also installed a ticket vending totem for tickets sale and recharge, for which a dedicated smart ticketing software has been installed. \n\nd) PP7 and PP8 (Brindisi)\nPP7 AdSPMAM completed preparatory tasks for the tender procedure related to the procurement of software services and necessary equipment to address data acquisition from PP8, visualization of passenger ships and publication of real-time information on variable message panels. The tender launch for equipment purchase is now scheduled for October–November 2025.\nPP8 STP finalized the definition of the installation sites for its smart bus shelters, identifying five key mobility hubs within the city. The public procurement procedure for the supply and installation of smart shelters, EPD (E-ink) information poles, and digital totems has been closed at the end of period 3. \n\nIn A2.2, PP2 DPA produced a first draft version of D2.2.1 Manual on tested solutions, which partners started to fill out by adding the pilot actions’ technical information as they unfolded. \nDespite the delays in pilot actions implementation, partners started to work at D2.2.2 Videoclips on tested solutions under the guidance of PP8 STP, who elaborated a series of technical specifications and a storyboard template in order for all partners to plan the filming of their videos with a common storytelling approach.\nSimilarly, partners started to address passenger surveys inside A2.4 in order to collect passengers’ feedback as soon as pilot actions are finalised. PP2 DPA elaborated the general questionnaire rationale and tools. \n\nAs a result of all activities carried out, additional steps were made towards the reach of SO2, thanks to a considerable advancement in innovative green solutions development. The actual testing and data collection framework has only been addressed in its initial steps, with further progress expected during period 4 and beyond. \nConsistently, the communication objective of “raising awareness on tested connections and related solutions” has been approached through initial dissemination and awareness-raising of the pilot solutions (where already implemented); more significant progress will be made when the concrete operativity of the implemented green and ICT solutions in all pilot territories will attract users and stakeholders to test them.\n\nJoint communication and dissemination activities also continued in PR3 under the lead of PP8 STP and through the contribution of all partners, particularly in feeding the official project website and the social media channels. \nOn 27-28 March 2025, representatives from LP1 DBV, PP2 DPA and PP5 ZLUP attended the Croatian Port Days in Dubrovnik, where CROSSCONNECT was presented in its focus, objectives and achievements. Representatives from the Port of Rijeka, (Associated Partner) have also been involved to take part in the event. \nRepresentatives of LP1 DBV and PP3 NASPA also attended the Mediterranean Multi-Programme Mechanism initiative “Path that Last” in Split (25-26 June 2025), participating in the thematic workshops.

This is what CYROS project is about. Its overall objective is contributing to define the cycling route running along the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Italy and Croatia (coastal network), including its main connections to the hinterland (inland network), embedding the EUSAIR flagship and cross pillar project idea ADRIONCYCLETOUR, promoting the development of sustainable mobility and tourism and boosting multimodality at national, regional and local level, improving the availability of cross-border and sea-mobility solutions. This is because the Adriatic – Ionian cycling route is to be considered the backbone of a network of sustainable mobility solutions, with the dual function of tourist cycle path and infrastructure for sustainable urban-interurban mobility, integrated with the local and regional public transport system by sea, rail and road. The project pushes for a stronger cross-border cooperation also in the maritime transport domain, implementing integrated passengers’ mobility, particularly in connection with the tourism sector based on sustainable mobility.\nThe expected changes to the current situation are an increased sustainability and quality of transport services and the availability of more attractive alternative and multimodal solutions to substitute private cars in regional and cross-border mobility. \nA wider offer of regional and cross-border intermodal connections (bike&train, bike&bus, bike&boat) are some of the most important envisaged outputs to the benefit of the local population and tourists. While public administrations and stakeholders will benefit from outputs like cross-border strategies for a permanent institutional cooperation on sustainable mobility and tourism, and on maritime passenger transport, as well as of outputs like joint training schemes on sustainable mobility and tourism. Moreover, a package of ICT tools will be developed supporting planning and management by stakeholders as well as information provisions for users of the multimodal network.\nFollowing a result-oriented approach and an integrated approach to the main project themes, sustainable mobility and multimodality, the project invests in developing alternative and multimodal solutions that could contribute to an improvement in cross-border connections, so that the two countries and the programme area could benefit from improved routes and services. That cannot be done without involving both countries in solving the gaps that are still present and concretely hinder stronger cooperation, in spite of proximity.\nWhat is new about CYROS is that, for the first time, a project is focused on carrying out the embedding of a flagship and a cross-pillar project idea approved at the EUSAIR level, ADRIONCYCLETOUR, thus directly contributing to the implementation of the EUSAIR action plan while implementing a territorial cross-border cooperation project, in making more sustainable the mobility and in boosting multimodality in the programme area itself.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

The first months of the first Project Period have been interested, by the Condition Clearing Process; under the constant monitoring of the Joint Secretariat the partnership worked on the review of content and structure of the Application Form, also in terms of activities, Deliverables, Outputs, investments and results to be achieved through the project. The Process ended by the end of April with the final approval of the JS. On JEMS, new updated versions of the Application Form and of the project’s budget have released. Then, the Partnership Agreement has been signed, the Project Management structure (Project Manager/Financial Manager/Communication Manager) has been identified, the Steering Committee’s members have been appointed, in particular the Communication Manager has been appointed and his specific tasks have been formalized. On the Italian side, project partners obtained the CUP (Codice Unico di Progetto), required by Italian national law to trace all financial operations, end activated, wherever possible, the procedures for selecting national controllers. Finally, the Subsidy Contract has been released and the signature process by both the Managing Authority of the IT-HR Programme and the Lead Partner, Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, has been completed on May 30th 2024.\nOn June 4th, 2024, the Kick-Off Meeting of the project, together with the first Steering Committee Meeting, took place by the premises of the Lead Partner, FVG Region, in Trieste. The KoM has been attended also by the Project Manager of the Joint Secretariat assigned to CYROS project, Mr. Hrvoje Grancarić, who informed the partnership on main Project and Programme rules to respect all along the project’s lifetime.\nDuring all the first project Period the Lead Partner anyway supported the partnership for any administrative, financial and technical aspect, also with reference to the updated project implementation documents uploaded on the Programme website. \nFrom the communication point of view, the Region of Istria, as partner responsible for general communication tasks, worked on the Communication Strategy, envisaged also by Deliverable D.1.3.1. It has been provided also by the following annexes: 1) Editorial plan; 2) Communication plan with communication task division; 3) Target groups monitoring file; 4) Communication report template.\nA dedicated tool to collect all press releases concerning CYROS will be soon built.\nStill in terms of communication, all project partner prepared a dedicated page on CYROS Project on its own institutional website. Also, the Project’s poster (A3 format) has been prepared, shared, and exposed by each partner’s office premises.\nConcerning the thematic activities envisaged by the project, the partnership started working on the activities at the basis of the development of the WP1 and WP2. In particular, the FVG Region guided the partners in trying mapping the already existing Adriatic-Ionian cycle route in the Programma Area by considering and analyzing the characteristics of the main points of interests (POI) of the IT and HR territories. Between POI we can mention cultural and natural heritage, touristic attractions, info points (tourist boards), restaurants. Also existing services for cyclist are important in the analysis, i.e. Bike & Bed specialized accommodation, bike repair shops, bike rental, bike shuttle, e-bike chargers, rest stops, public drink water taps. This will be useful for the overall future upgrading of the cross-border cycling network that will be developed also in the framework of the project. To do this, also digital data may be elaborated, and for this reason the analysis will be also functional to the development and upgrading of the technological and ICT tools serving bikes and sustainable mobility in general in the area of the project. Partner ITL, in particular, already started the methodological setup of the analysis also in digital terms. \n\n\nThe CYROS project has made solid and strategic progress in its mission to promote sustainable mobility and tourism across the Adriatic-Ionian area. Building on the foundations laid during the first reporting period, the project has now reached several key milestones and is gaining visibility and impact both locally and internationally.\nOne of the most important achievements is the joint mapping of the Adriatic-Ionian Cycle Route, including both the coastal and inland connections (Deliverable D.1.1.1). All project partners contributed data and insights to this harmonised mapping, which now serves as a shared knowledge base to support planning, investments, and policy-making. This result also supports integration with broader European networks such as EuroVelo.\nIn the field of intermodality, the Lead Partner (Friuli Venezia Giulia Region) designed a pilot seasonal BIKE & BUS service between Trieste (IT) and Poreč (HR), offering tourists and residents an innovative cross-border travel option that combines cycling with public transport (Deliverable D.1.2.1). Additional intermodal services are being prepared by other partners and will follow shortly.\nThe project also made a strong push on digitalisation and ICT tools: a standardised methodology was defined to collect data on Points of Interest and services along the route (Deliverable D.2.1.1). These data will feed into the future WebGIS platform and CYROS mobile app, currently under development. This digital ecosystem will empower users to plan multimodal, sustainable journeys across borders.\nKnowledge exchange is a key element of CYROS: a training programme was designed with modules on mobility planning, digital tools, and tourism management. Training materials are ready (Deliverable 2.3.3), and study visits are planned, involving at least 55 participants from various institutions (Output 2.1).\nIn terms of governance and cooperation, CYROS successfully completed a stakeholder database (Deliverable D.3.3.1), which will support future cross-border strategies and institutional coordination on sustainable mobility and tourism.\nThe project’s visibility and engagement also expanded significantly: the “General States on Cycling Mobility” held in Udine (October 2024) gathered over 200 participants, while the project was showcased at key events in both Italy and Croatia, including the Italian Bike Festival and the National Cycling Conference in Osijek.\nThese results contribute to the partial achievement of the project’s Specific Objectives across all thematic Work Packages. Under WP1, the Adriatic–Ionian Cycle Route has been successfully mapped and the design of intermodal services initiated, marking solid progress towards the development of a cross-border and multimodal cycling network. In WP2, key steps were completed to promote ICT-enabled sustainable mobility, including the creation of a shared methodology for data collection and the finalisation of training materials. For WP3, the stakeholder database was completed, setting the foundation for cross-border governance and long-term cooperation.\nThe added value of cooperation is evident across several activities where joint planning and harmonised implementation were essential — from the co-design of the Bike & Bus pilot service to the development of shared training schemes and data standards. These results highlight how cross-border collaboration has enabled solutions that go beyond the capacity or mandate of individual regions, ensuring alignment, interoperability and lasting impact across the Programme area.\nOver the past months, the CYROS project has started to show its impact on the ground. One of the most visible results has been the launch of the Bike & Bus line between Trieste and Poreč, a cross-border service that allows passengers and bicycles to travel together along the coast. This new connection encourages people to leave their cars behind and explore the area in a more sustainable way. It’s already attracting both tourists and locals.\nIn the meantime, several regions involved in the project have been working to improve and extend their sections of the Adriatic–Ionian Cycle Route. Some have focused on planning new connections between existing paths and transport hubs, others on defining where new infrastructure is needed. The aim is to make the entire route safer, more continuous, and easier to use.\nAt the same time, the project is getting ready to train public authorities and local stakeholders. The training programme will cover key topics such as sustainable mobility, digital tools for cycling routes, and how to promote year-round tourism along the coast. The first study visits, which will take place in Italy in September, are being prepared as hands-on learning experiences and are also expected to generate visibility for the project at local and regional level.\nOn the digital side, work has started on mapping the most relevant services and points of interest along the route – from bike repair stations to accommodation and cultural sites. This information will feed into a new digital platform and mobile app designed to help cyclists plan their trips more easily.\nAnother important step has been the preparation of 16 stakeholder round tables, which will be held in all the participating regions. These meetings are meant to bring together municipalities, transport operators, tourism boards and other actors to discuss how to make sustainable mobility and tourism a permanent part of regional strategies.\nIn short, CYROS is gaining speed: local actions are connecting into a bigger vision, and partners on both sides of the Adriatic are working together to make sustainable travel an easy and attractive choice.\n","Poreč-Parenzo, Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Bologna, Ancona, Pescara, Bari, Trieste","HR, IT",null,"Italia (IT), Vasto, Fossacesia and San Vito Chietino, -, -, -\nItalia (IT), Cervia, -, -, 48015\nHrvatska (HR), Dubrovnik, Pred Dvorom, 1, 20000\nHrvatska (HR), Dubrovnik, Pred Dvorom, 1, 20000\nHrvatska (HR), -, -, -, -\nHrvatska (HR), -, -, -, -\n",null,null,null,9]
["ITHR0200404","Shared BLUE knowledge and skills to sustain BIODIVERSITY in mariculture","The mosaic characterizing the Mediterranean shorelines of Italy and Croatia is rich in culture, traditions and tension to innovation. These features are backed by a remarkable variety of ecosystem services (ESs). \nBlueDiversity intends to enhance ESs-based practices (via rescuing, re-skilling and up-skilling), which can sustain local ecosystems preservation by reducing impacts of human activities on biodiversity, while enhancing and developing economic and territorial opportunities.\nIn order to achieve the project’s objective, the PPs start with an assessment of the State of the Art work, by analyzing, targeting, experimenting and screening existing practices, innovations already in place, resources available and attitudes of the ecosystem services end users in the Adriatic system highly influenced by tourism.\nThe relevance of the Adriatic socio-eco-cultural characteristics, will be the common thread for the project actions, bringing relevant actors related to the blue economy and blue research to work together towards best and innovative practices aimed at developing a green and sustainable transition in the small-scale fishery sector. \nThe project targets in particular SMEs and establishing “living laboratories” at selected sites, providing institutional support on one hand, and placing them as didactic examples at the much-needed interface with schools and young people, enhancing the framework of the blue economy with a multilateral approach that includes institutional actors and citizens.\nThe path of skills enhancement will flow from co-design to collaboration with the stakeholders and validation by end-users. First-hand information generated via hands-on experimentation of best practices will return to all participants, enriching the training approaches, from theoretical to applied, and making ideas operational. Results will be evidence-based, hence becoming a tool of paramount relevance for a communication strongly based on data literacy, allowing all participants to hold their own information at local, regional and international (SDGs and MSFD indicators for instance) levels. The common sea basin shared by Italy and Croatia is a natural background in ecological terms, where dynamics of co-creation, based on a blend of tradition and innovation, can be established. \nIn fact, the project develops pilot activities that are going to allow the use of innovative fishing gear to tackle an issue that puts Italian and Croatian coasts together, namely the massive presence of the blue crab (a NIS, Non-Indigenous Species) that puts at serious risk the ecosystems of the Adriatic coasts but also represents an interesting commercial opportunity for the sector of tourism and food industry. The concepts behind the realization of these instruments are sustainability and circularity, in fact the production is going to be based on sustainable resources and materials, and the design is going to be thought and developed with a green mindset, concerned about the whole life-cycle of the product and its long-term usability, leading to the realization of a resistant and recyclable quality tool. \nThe implementation of the project is thought to be modular, with successful experiences fully replicable, representing the legacy of the actions and the core of a shift towards blue economy, elements that are going to be strategically disseminated targeting different types of relevant institutional and non institutional actors, especially in the last phase of the project, that focuses on the capitalization of the knowledge, know-how and instruments that are developed throughout the project implementation and that are thought to build a sound ground for future major innovative developments in the field in these territories.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

Comments from stakeholders were fruitful and included in the draft reaching the final version attached in this report. The completed Output 1.1 is uploaded in this report at the section \"Project report annexes\".  Regarding the WP2, the five deliverables and one output foreseen in accordance with the PR3 deadline were completed and revised by project partners within the deadline; they are attached to this report. Other activities in WP2 were carried out in preparation for the deadline of R4. In particular, the baseline collection of Blue crab data and its historical distribution in the Adriatic Sea were completed analysing the available scientific literature and LEK. The sampling of the species started in this period (PR3) in all the pilot areas with the aim to realize an effective dataset for testing the actual distribution of the species in the pilot areas and the catching performance of traps selected and tested. This activity will run also in R4 and the results will be the object of two deliverables with a deadline in R4. In parallel, the sampling for eDNA common survey in the same project pilot areas where the Blue crab is sampled started; it will run in the R4 to complete the survey and the data analysis for biodiversity evaluation and NIS early warning. An experimental test on the responses of mussels to environmental pressure was also carried out. The management of the project was realized through monthly meetings and in a project meeting organized in Chioggia (IT). The internal and external communication efforts were implemented through the shared Google Drive folder, the project website contents and managing the social media channels. A BlueDiversity communication group was established to implement the Communication/Editorial plan. As requested, LP1 also participated in dissemination training sessions promoted by the Joint Secretariat. The dissemination of the project activities, first results, meetings with SMEs, hackathon for young students and graduates  were realized in an International Conference held in Brindisi (IT) (attached file name: BlueDiversity_Report_Conferences_29_April_2025_06_May_2025_V0); finally, the project idea of students and graduates that won the hackathon was also presented in the conference “La bellezza della sostenibilità” held in the Italian Senate buildings in Rome (IT, 06th of May 2025) in which received the award from the “Levi-Montalcini Foundation” (attached file name: BlueDiversity_Report_Conferences_29_April_2025_06_May_2025_V0).

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe and uneven impact on education, employment and mental health of the young people. Disadvantaged groups have been disproportionally impacted, amplifying already existing inequalities. \nIn this unprecedent context, youth policy governance actors need to take a structured and integrated action to really facilitate the recovery and design and implement the reforms and investments that are needed to address these new challenges. Also, capacity building is needed to really make the implementation of reforms and investments (NextGenerationEU successful, European Skills Agenda as well as youth-centred EU flagships and programmes such as Erasmus+).\nIn order to be successful in turning the recovery into a driving force for future-oriented well-being and welfare of youth, these reforms need to put to involve youth as main stakeholders and out them at the centre of decision-making aikmed at creating youth-responsive policies and sustainably as well as at promoting young people’s quality of life and inclusion in the social, economic and political life.","2023-08-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

The structures and mechanisms put in place by governments at all levels often face significant barriers. Youth parliaments and councils frequently lack the authority, resources, or political leverage needed to make significant changes. Their deliberations are often non-binding and rarely integrated into policy formulation.\nDEMY-Coop supported public authorities and stakeholders involved in Interreg in building quality youth engagement opportunities based on a real partnership between decision-makers and young people, and by highlighting youth not as targets of policies, but as community organizers, policy advocates and decision-makers.\n\nInterreg needs to be more inclusive and responsive to youth priorities, yet they are often perceived as distant, complex, and disconnected from young people’s everyday lives, concerns and aspirations. Small public authorities are uniquely positioned to bridge this gap, as they are the interface between public policy and local communities and citizens, and can provide an in-depth understanding of the social-economic dynamics that shape specific territories.  Despite their potential, small public authorities often face legal and administrative obstacles—such as limited competencies, rigid frameworks, and resource constraints.\n\nDEMY-Coop reinforced cooperation capacities and skills of local and regional authorities to better cope with thematic cross-border challenges and to better seize opportunities to modernize internally. A cross-border participatory governance model was created, based on a thorough assessment of the possible legal and administrative obstacles to youth engagement in a cross-border logic. The model put youth organisations at the core of the mechanism and provided solutions that were experimented in Padua area (Veneto, IT), in Molise (IT) and in the Sibenik-Knin region (HR).\n\nProject partners identified key entry points for complementing the efforts of public authorities in better engaging youth. They conducted an in-depth territorial analysis and designed a focused awareness raising campaign that was crucial for identifying the barriers to youth engagement: linguistic obstacles, complicated decision-making structures, lack of transparency of decision-making and policy-making, lack of timely access to information, insufficient chances for training and mentoring, insufficient budgeting.  \n\nThe cooperation among project partners was crucial in translating the institutional language and complex governance processes into formats and initiatives that could be more accessible and relatable to young people, thus helping to bridge the significant communication gap between decision-makers and youth. Also, partners helped collect, analyse and channel youth input into policy recommendations and helped convey them to decision-makers.\n\nLocal authorities recognised the benefit of this exercise for enhancing inter-generational dialogue, transparency and legitimacy, and for a better and more inclusive decision-making. Youth organisations and young people recognised the need for a better understanding of how decision-making structures work. Also, they agreed that participation in the project was useful to help them voice their needs: \"This event gave me the courage to speak up about gender equality and share my own experiences.\" – said a 19 years old participant in the Italian Cross-Border Youth Forum.\n\nThe production of final policy recommendations proved to be a valuable exercise, offering an opportunity to reflect on concrete ways to strengthen the partnership between decision-makers and youth. The European Commission and key line ministries responsible for implementing the EUSAIR were involved in the project's main events, gaining valuable insights into grass-root level youth engagement processes.\n\nPartners reinforced their expertise, influence and advocacy stands in front of public authorities at different levels. Their visibility and credibility were enhanced in many institutional contexts, demonstrating that cooperation can attract more attention, support, and resources. The DEMY-Coop collaboration was so fruitful that partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue collaboration beyond the project closure.\n\nNew proposals will reinforce coordination and exchange of youth and youth organisations across countries, will focus on skills development and capacity building in targeted thematic priorities. Monitoring and communication of Interreg opportunities will also be incorporated, within the broader context of Cohesion policy and the EUSAIR also based on the results of the post-27 consultation on the future of Interreg.

["ITHR0400341","Sustainable agricultural models for biodiversity preservation","The agricultural biodiversity of Italy and Croatia is critical to the cultural and economic fabric of both countries, but it is facing a common challenge of insufficient research and protection. Monocultures, intensive agriculture, and urbanization are causing traditional fruit tree varieties to disappear, contributing to the loss of valuable genetic resources, and reducing the resilience of local agriculture. Moreover, the local population's alienation from nature is exacerbating this problem, as there is a lack of familiarity with forest fruit cultivars and their benefits, particularly among younger generations. The VERA project addresses these issues with the aim to preserve agricultural species from extinction while promoting the importance of ancient fruit tree varieties. The project involves a wide range of activities, including joint itinerant training for Italian and Croatian students, research and transplant of domestic agricultural varieties, digitalization of ancient fruits' genetic material, educational workshops, and local events. Actions will be mainly addressed to local farmers, high-school students, pupils, and the wider community to effect positive change. By bringing together diverse stakeholders and building networks, the project will increase awareness and understanding of the importance of biodiversity and traditional agriculture and will promote sustainable and responsible land use practices. VERA adopts a cross-border approach aimed at exchanging and transferring good practices in terms of sustainable farming models and techniques between different regions, contributing to the development of more eco-friendly and responsible agricultural systems in both Italy and Croatia. The key innovation of VERA is recognizing the importance of connecting traditional agriculture with the modern world and youth.

A first-ever fig variety exchange between Puglia and Dalmatia, supported by an educational and digital network that gives new life to these rare species.\nThe Challenge: Preserving Agricultural Biodiversity, Together:\nIn recent decades, intensive farming, urban growth, and climate change have threatened the survival of local fruit varieties that once shaped the rural landscapes of Italy and Croatia. Without intervention, these plants—and the traditional knowledge tied to them—were at risk of vanishing.\nVERA was launched to reverse this trend, involving young people, farmers, and local institutions in concrete actions:\n- Education for Youth: Students from Istituto Magliano (Molise) and Croatian schools took part in practical training on sustainable farming and agroforestry, led by experts from Permaculture Dalmatia and the SUNCE association. These activities inspired young people to take an active role in protecting biodiversity.\n- Plant Exchange Across Borders: The biodiversity centers I Giardini di Pomona (Puglia) and Permaculture Dalmatia exchanged five fig varieties each, testing their adaptability to new environments and boosting genetic diversity in local agriculture.\n- Digital Archive for All: A modern and accessible digital catalog of ancient fruit trees was created, complete with QR codes. This tool makes traditional knowledge available to students, farmers, and researchers alike.\n- Fairs and Local Policy Engagement: A \"Green Swap Fair\" was organized in Larino, where farmers and citizens could exchange seeds and plants. At the same time, the Municipality of Larino began exploring how to integrate biodiversity into future agricultural strategies.\nAs one teacher involved in the project put it: \"Our students never imagined that saving a fig tree could mean saving the future.

["ITHR0400275","air MONItoring aCross Adriatic","One of the main development challenges identified in the Programme area is pollution, more specifically, air pollution is being one of the most commonly present. Man-made hazards including emissions pose an increasing health threat to the population in urban areas and more than 80% of inhabitants are nowadays exposed to air quality levels that exceed the allowed limits, as per WHO. As urban air quality declines, the risk of chronic and acute respiratory diseases such as stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and asthma rise. This is particularly visible in higher-income countries but with the prediction of similar effects in other less urban areas as well.\nAlthough both Italy and Croatia have adopted air quality plans aimed at reducing concentrations of air pollutants in the most polluted zones, EU’s emission reduction commitments for 2020-2029 underline a need for the implementation of specific solutions that can act preventively through air quality assessment, monitoring and ultimately strengthen various stakeholders’ coordination for better civil protection.\nThe overall objective of MONI.CA project is to contribute to emerging air quality issues and to contribute to air quality assessment and monitoring activities.\nThe specific project’s objective is to set up a cross-border pilot activity for air monitoring in north Italy and south Croatia to act preventively on the urban population’s health by efficiently addressing air pollutants using smart technologies. The information gathered is to be provided to decision-makers in cities enabling them to detect the sources of pollution and act preventively for the benefit of the local population.\nThe cross-border approach is relevant as the initiative would be a first-time pilot in air pollution not conducted for scientific research only. The novelty of the MONI.CA project is seen as there are no examples of integrated solutions in place such proposed. Most of the existing air quality monitoring are static stations that are non-economical solutions to be installed in quantities needed to monitor the air quality homogeneously and continuously in the city area. The proposed adaptable mobile air monitoring solution provides up-to-date technological answers being economical, energy-efficient, and easily customized to different needs.","2023-07-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

Industrial activity, traffic, and urban growth continue to impact air quality, while traditional monitoring systems often fail to provide the real-time, location-specific data needed for timely responses. The MONI.CA project set out to address this gap with a more flexible, mobile approach to air monitoring.\nLed by RIT Croatia and Eduforma Srl from Italy, the project introduced mobile sensor units capable of tracking air quality in real-time across different locations. These sensors, which can be mounted on vehicles or temporary installations, collect detailed environmental data, giving local authorities a clearer picture of pollution patterns and allowing for quicker, more targeted interventions.\nIn practice, this means that a municipal vehicle equipped with a MONI.CA sensor can provide up-to-date air quality data as it moves through various parts of the city. This contrasts with the slower, less adaptable data from fixed monitoring stations, which often fail to reflect rapid changes in pollution levels.\nAuthorities in both countries now have access to higher-resolution data that supports more effective decision-making. Citizens, too, benefit from improved information about air quality in their immediate surroundings, and several awareness-raising campaigns have helped explain the health implications of pollution.\nThe project also included training sessions for local officials, environmental professionals and universities students to ensure the continued use of the technology beyond the project’s duration. These sessions aimed to integrate mobile monitoring tools into local environmental strategies and long-term planning.\nA local environmental officer in Dubrovnik noted that the real-time data provided by MONI.CA helped shift their response approach: “Before, we had to wait for lab results. Now, we can act immediately when pollution levels rise.”\nWhile MONI.CA made important strides in air quality monitoring, the issue remains a challenge. Expanding the use of mobile sensors and involving citizens through community-based monitoring initiatives are among the future directions suggested by project partners. With climate change expected to further affect air quality, adaptable tools like those developed in MONI.CA could play an increasingly important role.","Pauda, Dubrovnik","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},2]
["ITHR0200443","Next chapter in the Transport of Goods","In the recent years, European Union has been paying special attention to the reduction of GHG emissions in the transport sector. One of the activities supported by both, EUSAIR strategy and European Green Deal is optimization of transport routes using intermodal and multimodal connections. The Programme Area (Italy-Croatia), and in general the European Union, is characterized by the lack of information on intermodal services available to connect origin-destination nodes and the focus should be put on interoperability to improve the integration between modes of transport by promoting the use of compatible technological systems and the cooperation between different actors, and by reducing the political and cultural barriers, thus allowing for development of intermodal transport services at a sustainable level. \nTherefore, TRANSPONEXT project aims to support the sustainable growth of cross-border intermodal and multimodal connections generated by maritime nodes in the Programme area through the modernization of ICT tools and implementation of innovative and original solutions in order to boost quality, safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability of transport services. To achieve this objective, project capitalizes on the main results and outputs of the project TRANSPOGOOD (Italy-Croatia 2014-2020) and continues to build a strong cross-border cooperation to improve the usage of TRANSPOGOOD Platform in order to facilitate and support smooth transportation process in the Programme Area. \nTRANSPONEXT project focuses on three main sets of measures to achieve its objectives: preparatory actions and strategic framework – implementation of new solutions – development and performance of cross-border training schemes. All 3 approaches are intertwined with each other and essential for the success of project results.\nThe first step includes preparatory actions to support development of greener transport options by performing project benchmark analysis, capitalizing on the lessons learnt from the TRANSPOGOOD project and by defining cross-border strategy and action plan for intermodal transport. The goal is to define and offer solutions for the reduction of bottlenecks identified in intermodal and multimodal freight transport of the Programme area by using innovative solutions and modern ICT tools. Transport stakeholders and especially public bodies will benefit from these outputs as they can be used and implemented in local/regional/national strategies.\nNext approach includes implementation of the new solutions in order to optimize and modernize intermodal connections between Italy and Croatia. To achieve that, project TRANSPONEXT implements five new solutions in different ports and locations on both Croatian and Italian side in order to facilitate the flow of freight transport, to increase efficacy and reduce the costs of transport by increasing information availability. Project will therefore: \n\n\n1. set up a fully innovative solution for wagon pooling in the port of Trieste to optimize infrastructure management and efficiency; \n\n\n2. provide digitalization of the railway processes and procedures in the port of Ploče which will also lead to increase of transport efficiency, information transparency and smooth transport organization; \n\n\n3. improve port infrastructure management system on cargo terminals in the port of Zadar by developing an ICT solution for booking and information exchange between public authorities and private bodies (concessionaires), \n\n\n4. implement Intermodal Transportation Unit Tracking system to increase transport efficiency;\n\n\n5. upgrade and capitalize on the TRANSPOGOOD Platform by adding railway lines to the transport routing and by developing efficient e-booking system which can be directly used by transport stakeholders.\nAll these new solutions will contribute to modernization of existing connections in the programme area and will improve cross-border transportation by using modern technology to improve information exchange and transparency, environmental performance, capacity and costs reduction. All solutions will be made available on the TRANSPOGOOD Platform which will strengthen its cross-border impact and will be thus available to all interested transport stakeholders.\nThe last project approach includes cross-border training schemes that facilitate the use of efficient, less polluting freight transport solutions created in the project. Project will create cross-border training courses for traffic management in the coastal and inner areas to optimize the use of enhanced TRANSPOGOOD Platform tool upgraded in the project. Courses will align the competences in the Programme Area, will strengthen the competences of private operators and increase the awareness of public bodies on developed innovative solutions. Trainings will be open for all interested stakeholders, in private and public sector.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

Focusing on sustainable aquaculture in the Adriatic region, the project engaged six partners working across various disciplines in aquaculture trials, health and environmental monitoring, and product development. Together, they built a strong foundation for starting with the activities related to aquaculture and integrated mariculture by preliminary work on rigorous data frameworks, piloting health monitoring protocols, and implementing advanced aquaculture trials.\nA central activity was the preparation of the activities and collection of the data for the establishment of a comprehensive data collection framework for the aquaculture sites involved in the project. Led by LP1 UNIUD -DI4A and UNIUD’s AI Laboratory and PP2- VEINST laboratory, this system involved collecting extensive data on fish welfare, including environmental factors such as oxygen levels, temperature, and salinity. The framework also tracks corrective measures taken by fish farmers, such as feeding regime changes. Advanced multiparametric probes were selected to capture key metrics, and preliminary trials focused on assessing corrective measures in aquaculture settings. This data will be needed to inform AI model designed to predict fish health and welfare. PP2 and LP collaborated on vaccine development to enhance disease immunity, targeting bacterial threats like Vibrio harveyi and Tenacibaculum maritimum, which endanger European sea bass. Early vaccine trials have produced promising initial data, paving the way for expanded testing.\nThe partners collaborated in organizing oyster aquaculture trials and identifying sites in Italy and Croatia. Trials began at selected sites in both countries, and public procurements were conducted in Italy to secure contractors. Oyster aquaculture trials were launched in Italy and Croatia to evaluate integrated mariculture systems where fish and oysters are farmed together. These trials, conducted at sites like Duino in Italy and Budava in Croatia, focused on monitoring oyster health, food availability, and environmental compatibility. Sampling devices for oyster spat capture were deployed, and initial biological tests conducted. Partners started to work on the analyses of the health of native European flat oysters from the Eastern Adriatic coast. However, administrative delays pushed certain trials to 2025. PP3, PP5, and PP6 coordinated closely on-site selection, regulatory compliance, and data sharing, ensuring a unified approach to trial implementation across borders.\nEfforts to enhance fish and mollusc product quality and safety initiated, with focus on nutritional profiling and spoilage reduction for popular species like seabass and seabream. Data from a previous Interreg project was used to conduct a preliminary study on nutritional claims for seabass and seabream, following EU legislation. Analyses emphasized total volatile nitrogen and microbial indicators, crucial for improving product freshness and shelf life. Preparatory work for the successful implementation of Activity 3.3 has begun, which includes the initial phase of conducting a literature review to support the development of consumer market research.  Additionally, public awareness and consumer perception were prioritized, with project findings disseminated through a robust communication strategy involving presentations, media coverage, and events. Collaborative promotional efforts, notably from PP4, engaged both public and private stakeholders, increasing the visibility of the project's objectives and the benefits of sustainable aquaculture. The project prioritized community engagement and stakeholder collaboration, hosting two kick-off events, a press conference and it has also been pre presented in February during the AquaFarm 2024 fair. These events underscored the project’s commitment to transparency and knowledge-sharing, fostering cooperation across the Italy-Croatia partnership. The project also established a digital presence through its website and social media, aiming to reach a broader audience and build support for sustainable mariculture. Regular Steering Committee Meetings facilitated partner alignment on strategic activities, ensuring consistent progress and accountability across all work packages.\nThe project’s start delays necessitated adaptive planning and reorganization of deliverables. Despite these challenges, all partners effectively managed procurement and staffing needs, facilitating steady progress in technical and administrative workstreams. Ongoing coordination meetings, literature reviews, and procedural adjustments enabled the project to address any setbacks proactively, with a clear roadmap for future phases. As MARINET advances, it will expand on foundational activities, particularly in bio-economic modelling, data analysis, and multi-stakeholder engagement.\nMARINET key objectives were achieved, and deliverables planned for the second semester were completed. \nIn WP1, activities focused on fish health and welfare. LP, PP2 (WP leader), and PP3 jointly prepared Deliverable D.1.1.1, defining Health and Surveillance Protocols for Aquaculture, based on AdriAquaNet findings. These protocols set optimal ranges for environmental Operational Welfare Indicators (oxygen, temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity) and animal-based indicators such as appetite, mortality, and disease signs. In Activity 1.2, partners developed and tested a Progressive Web Application (PWA) for real-time data collection and management, incorporating an AI-based risk assessment tool. Deliverable D.1.2.1, including a user manual, was completed, and testing began in subcontracted farms in Italy (Mattinata, Gallipoli) and Croatia (Marfish, Orada Adriatic), supported by training and equipment procurement. Activity 1.3 focused on immunity and disease prevention. Vaccination trials against Vibrio harveyi and V. anguillarum were conducted with Cromaris, using gene expression and ELISA analyses. Results showed stronger immune responses in dual-vaccinated fish. V. harveyi strains were isolated for subunit vaccine research. Biocentar, subcontracted by PP2, is producing chitosan-based vaccine variants for further testing. All partners participated in technical and steering meetings. PP5 and PP6 contributed through consultations and liaison with farms and external service providers.\nIn WP2, partners finalized Deliverable D.2.1.1, detailing the state of the art and potential of flat oyster and integrated aquaculture in the Adriatic, with contributions from PP3, LP, PP2, PP5, and PP6. Flat oyster growth trials were initiated across several sites in Italy (Duino, Muggia, Cattolica, Mattinata, Gallipoli) and Croatia (Budava, Raša, Lim, Savudrija). LP and PP3 coordinated the transfer of Croatian oyster specimens and gear to Italian sites. PP5 and PP6 supported logistics and equipment delivery. Growth monitoring and spat collector analysis were carried out in Duino, Muggia, Lim, and Savudrija, with additional sampling planned. Biometric, histological, and molecular analyses were conducted by PP3 and LP at the Duino IMTA site, detecting Bonamia exitiosa and Perkinsus mediterraneus without increased mortality. Fatty acid and seston analyses suggested oysters partially utilize nutrients from fish farm effluents. PP2 developed criteria for gonadal development and initiated monthly histological monitoring at Budava and Lim, including pathogen surveillance. LP coordinated technical meetings and supported mariculture trials in Puglia. PP5 and PP6 managed procurement and logistics and contributed to the deliverable and outreach, including Crofish and AquaFarm fairs.\nIn WP3, all partners were involved in quality and nutritional research. LP, PP2, and PP4 led the studies, supported by PP5 and PP6 for field sampling. LP conducted experiments to define freshness indicators in seabass and began similar work for seabream and oysters. PP2 worked on nutritional profiling and validation of nutritional claims for all three species and initiated sanitary monitoring of oysters using PCR. In Activity 3.3, PP4 and LP led a large-scale consumer survey in Italy and Croatia, preceded by pilot testing at Crofish and AquaFarm fairs. The final survey was translated and conducted by a professional agency. Preliminary results supported the draft consumer preference study, to be presented at a promotional event in the Lim Channel. Cross-border meetings in Udine, Poreč, and Pordenone contributed to Output 3.1 and coordinated oyster analysis and communication.\nIn WP4, partners contributed to communication, visibility, and stakeholder engagement. In Activity 4.1, LP and PP3 led PWA deployment in Gallipoli and Mattinata, distributing mobile devices and organizing training sessions. PP2 is coordinating probe installation in Croatian farms. LP initiated a literature review on bio-economic models under Activity 4.2, which will be integrated into the PWA to optimize farm operations. In Activity 4.3, LP  finalized and submitted Deliverable D.4.3.1 – Project Promotional Plan, developed visual identity materials, and managed the website and social media. PP3, PP5, and PP6 published project updates across digital platforms, while PP4 supported the communication strategy and coordination. PP2 presented research at scientific events and initiated institutional dialogues. Partners engaged with 36 new stakeholders across four events: IUFoST, Veterinary Congress, Crofish, and AquaFarm.Under Activity 4.4, all partners participated in Crofish and AquaFarm fairs, organizing joint sessions with other Interreg and LIFE projects. The Pordenone event included 63 workshop participants and 119 visitors to the exhibition stand. Supporting documentation for Deliverable D.4.4.3 – Scientific Dissemination Report was submitted in JEMS as part of partner reports.\nWP1: Deliverable D.1.1.1 (Health and Surveillance Protocols for Aquaculture) was finalised: partners agreed a harmonised set of Operational Welfare Indicators (OWIs) — environmental (oxygen, temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity, currents) and animal-based (appetite, mortality, swimming behaviour, external signs) — with optimal ranges for European seabass and gilthead seabream. Multiparametric probes were installed and tested at three trial farms (two in Italy: Mattinata and Gallipoli; one in Croatia: Marfish on Iž), providing continuous daily data that feed the Progressive Web Application (PWA). Farmer-recorded OWIs and production logs complement sensor data. A photographic dataset of diseased sea bass (Vibrio harveyi, Tenacibaculum maritimum, Photobacterium damselae piscicida, V. anguillarum) linked to contextual OWI metadata was initiated to support AI training. D.1.2.1 (PWA) was delivered and is operational in partner farms; D.1.2.2 (real-time AI risk assessment) progressed with machine-learning models for feeding anomalies (77–87% accuracy) and preliminary deep-learning fish-disease classifiers (binary ≈93%, multi-class ≈67%). In WP1.3, vaccination trials against V. harveyi and V. anguillarum were run (ELISA and gene-expression analyses show immune responses and ~2-month protection); subunit vaccines with nanoadjuvant (chitosan) were produced and are under testing. Work on a biosecurity plan template for seabass and seabream is underway, drawing on farmer interviews and national authority input.\n\nWP2: Sea trials expanded to nine sites across Italy and Croatia wi80 collectors deployed; lantern-net growth monitoring is active at eight locations (Gallipoli, Mattinata, Cattolica, Muggia, Savudrija, Lim, Budava, Raša) with bi-monthly sampling. D.2.2.1 (recruitment and growth) and D.2.2.2 (biological cycle/gonadal study) progressed: Duino completed a full annual cycle, yielding seasonal growth trends and evidence of oysters incorporating saturated fatty acids in IMTA (uptake of organic inputs from sea-bass farms). Duino also recorded significant mortality (~41%) likely linked to pathogen presence and extreme summer temperatures; other IMTA sites (Mattinata, Gallipoli, Budava) show preliminary, non-critical results and ongoing sampling. PP2 leads detailed gonadal surveillance at Porto Budava and Lim Bay (monthly, intensified in spawning season) to guide collector timing. Outreach and demonstrative activities (Lim Bay Oyster Day, Italian Oyster Fest) supported knowledge transfer and consumer engagement. D.2.3.1 (IMTA environmental assessment) advanced; demonstrative presentations at fairs (D.2.3.2) were delivered.\n\nWP3: D.3.1.1 (oyster composition) progressed with monthly sampling (March–Aug 2025) and comprehensive chemical analyses (macronutrients, fatty acids, vitamins A/E, minerals, cholesterol); PP2 confirms high nutritional value of farmed sea bass and sea bream (84–100% of samples meet criteria for protein, minerals, omega-3) supporting potential nutrition/health claims (D.3.1.2 under development). Product safety and shelf-life work (A3.2) concluded D.3.2.1: LP’s shelf-life trials on sea bream and sea bass identified TVB-N as the reliable spoilage marker and set an acceptability threshold (<35 mg N/100 g) with ~12 days practical shelf life under tested packaging; packaging-innovation work (D.3.2.2) and microbial/physico-chemical characterisation of oysters (D.3.2.3) are ongoing. Consumer research (D.3.3.1) was finalised: cross-border surveys and guided tastings (Lim Bay, Italian Oyster Fest) engaged >130 participants and provided actionable insights for communication and SME tools. D.3.3.2 (cross-border communication plan) and D.3.3.3 (campaign performance evaluation) are in progress. Strategic marketing (D.3.4.1) initiated conjoint analysis and consumer segmentation steps using data from events and surveys.\n\nWP4: The PWA (D.4.1.1) is operational in pilot farms; LP and PP3 delivered on-site sensor installation and recorded online farmer trainings (Mattinata, Gallipoli, Marifish). D.4.1.2 documents trainings and early adoption.

["ITHR0200395","Strengthen the specialistic skills of the emergency services to response to the climate changes events","During the 7th European Civil Protection Forum held in Bruxelles on 28th and 29th June 2022, organized by the European Commission, experts highlight the importance of the training courses to raise standards, the strengthening of interoperability of teams, the improvement of the specialized equipment and the stimulation of exchanges of experts to other countries via equal partnerships. HANDY aims to respond to the common challenge at European level to strengthen cooperation between the civil protection bodies involved in the management of emergency events in the Adriatic area. This will be possible by improving the specialized training of operators and volunteers and strengthening the capacity for cross-border cooperation in case of emergency, in order to increase the mutual support in the field of the climate change effects and risks at Adriatic level. The imperative aim of HANDY is to focus on prevention and preparedness efforts in view of large-scale cross-border emergencies through the transferring of the scientific knowledge learned by other projects, together with the enhancement of specialized equipment, the training courses and joint capacity building facilitated by the Civil Protection Knowledge Network, that will help build a more resilient Adriatic. HANDY will boosts capacities to respond to crises in both countries, particularly in the case of forest fires, floods, oil spill incidents and earthquake. In addition, both the Split Dalmatia County and Puglia Region partners are implementing a specialized training centers to support all Adriatic area training needs in the long period. The cooperation between project partners and the strengthening of the specialized equipment to be made available to the centers, will allow the partners involved to become a reference point for cross-border training at the Adriatic level. The proposal contribute, also, to the two cross-cutting issues: digitalization and circular economy, improving the knowledge base for policies concerning climate change and the related application tools.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

The main achievements so far center on laying the groundwork for effective training, coordination, and collaboration among project partners, with a strong focus on engaging decision-makers, operators, and volunteers of civil protection.\nOne of the most significant accomplishments to date is the completion of the joint development of training modules under WP1. This activity brought together expertise from all project partners to identify innovative tools for climate change risk prevention and mitigation. A total of 21 tools were collected, analyzed, and five were selected to form the basis of the first two training modules. These modules are tailored to decision-makers and civil protection managers, ensuring the transfer of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Additionally, region-specific modules have been prepared to address unique risks, including oil spills, fires, floods, and earthquakes. This collaborative effort demonstrates the project’s commitment to leveraging diverse expertise to strengthen local resilience against climate-related challenges.\nThe project has also successfully launched preparations for specialized training courses and dissemination activities. During the Kick-Off Meeting in Bari in September 2024, partners established clear timelines for training implementation and addressed logistical challenges, such as transport costs or translation services. These discussions underline the shared dedication of all partners to ensure the active participation of the target groups, even under financial constraints. PP2 has already initiated preparations for the training sessions, which will expand the scope of knowledge transfer and engagement.\nCooperation among partners has been a cornerstone of the project’s success. Each partner has actively contributed to achieving objectives, from identifying innovative tools to drafting training content and preparing for implementation. The cross-border technical working group exemplifies the added value of collaboration, bringing together diverse perspectives to develop comprehensive solutions. This joint effort is not only enhancing the skills and capacities of local civil protection operators and decision-makers but also building a foundation for standardized approaches to training in addressing climate change risk management across the program area.\nWhile the project has encountered initial challenges, such as delays in signature of Subsidy Contract and procurement procedures, these have been addressed through coordinated action and clear planning. The foundation laid during this phase ensures that future activities, including specialized training sessions and communication efforts, will proceed smoothly and effectively. The HANDY project is already demonstrating its potential to create lasting impact by fostering cooperation and equipping communities with the tools and knowledge needed to respond to the evolving risks of climate change.\n\nIn communication activities, the LP developed a comprehensive strategy and monitoring tool for target group involvement. It designed the graphic layout for project materials, including posters and roll-ups for all five partners, and created a project description for publication on partners' institutional websites. The LP updated a project website and Facebook page with periodic content.\nDuring the second reporting period, the HANDY project continued to strengthen civil protection efforts and build cooperation between Italy and Croatia. Important progress was made in several areas: training activities were carried out, equipment was purchased, and collaboration between project partners grew stronger.\n\nPartners worked closely to share knowledge, organize joint training sessions, and make sure expertise from both countries was used effectively. One of the main accomplishments was the delivery of specialized training sessions (WP1, Activity 1.2) for civil protection staff, volunteers, students, and public officials.\nPP3, PP4, and PP5 conducted awareness sessions in schools, educating younger generations on emergency behaviors and basic disaster prevention. Meanwhile, PP2, PP3, PP4, and PP5 organized and delivered specialized training sessions in Split, L’Aquila, Aquileia, and Dubrovnik. These sessions covered essential topics such as risk assessment tools, practical application, and the operational principles of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. Each partner contributed to these efforts: PP2 and PP3 focused on fire risk management, PP4 on floods and earthquake risk, and PP5 on earthquake risk management. The final training, on oil spills, will be delivered by the LP in the next period (on May 14 and 15,2025 in Bari). In addition, on November 15, 2024, the PP5 organized the \"Readiness 2024\" command exercise in Janjina.\n\nAnother key milestone was the publication of a joint Catalogue of main innovative solutions for risk prevention and climate adaptation (WP 1, Activity 1.1), that presents useful tools and technologies to help communities reduce risks from natural hazards. This catalogue was used as the basis for the training sessions on common modules and was made publicly available through the Library section available on the projects website.\n\nAdditionally, a new Civil Protection Training Center was equipped and inaugurated in Preturo (Abruzzo), thanks to PP3. This new space will be used for future training and as a strategic hub for cross-border capacity building activities.\n\nImplementation of these activities help move forward to reaching the project’s main goal of improving the skills and readiness of decision makers, volunteers, and civil protection operators through special training and better equipment. By working together, PPs share knowledge, skills, and resources, which helps improve how well emergency teams respond to climate-related risks like floods, fires, and earthquakes, making cross-border cooperation during emergencies more effective.\nThe Associated Partner, Civil Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, actively contributed to this process by supporting and co-organizing PP4’s training activities, facilitating the transfer of regional expertise and best practices to local civil protection teams. Their involvement has reinforced capitalization activities, institutional collaboration and alignment with regional strategies, further promoting sustainability and transferability of project’s outcomes.\n\nIn parallel with training activities, procurement efforts were finalized or initiated to support the implementation of the project activities. PP5 completed its purchases of specialized equipment and promotional materials, while PP3 finalized the procurement processes for the setup of training classrooms. Partners PP2, PP3, and PP4 also launched tenders for acquiring specialized equipment (A.2.2) to support risk mitigation efforts.\n\nCoordination remained strong throughout the project, with regular meetings and communication ensuring smooth progress. A 2nd SC and partnership meeting was held in Dubrovnik on February 20,2025 to review achievements, refine communication strategies, and align the next steps across all work packages. Some delays were encountered, mainly in purchasing equipment and scheduling one of the training sessions, but these were quickly addressed with new timelines and improved coordination.\n\nCommunication activities also advanced considerably. Partners promoted the project through social media, institutional websites, press releases, and events to raise awareness among citizens and local communities. \n\nUltimately, this reporting period underscored the added value of cross-border cooperation. By co-developing training content, exchanging expertise, and leveraging shared experience, the HANDY partnership strengthened both its operational impact and its long-term sustainability. Working together across the borders of Italy and Croatia is important because it allows sharing of good practices and creating common training methods that fit the risks both countries face. This teamwork not only makes each partner stronger but also builds lasting connections to keep training and emergency support going even after the project ends. In this way, cooperation helps create a stronger and more prepared community to handle climate-related emergencies in the Adriatic area.\nDuring the third reporting period, the HANDY project made significant progress towards its objectives, strengthening cross-border cooperation between Italian and Croatian Civil Protection authorities and enhancing operational preparedness in the Adriatic area. Activities carried out by all PPs contributed to advancing both the technical and strategic dimensions of the project, with concrete achievements in implementation of specialised training courses, procurement of equipment, capacity-building planning, and dissemination of results to stakeholders and the wider public.\n\nA major focus of this period was the successful implementation of specialised training courses under WP1. All partners completed the delivery of their training activities, which targeted civil protection operators, volunteers, local authorities, and, importantly, young students, thus contributing to a culture of prevention.\n\nMoreover, all PPs, coordinated by the LP, jointly contributed to the development and finalisation of the Joint guidelines for cross-border standardisation of training on innovation systems (D.1.2.2.), creating a shared methodological framework and training catalogue for future Italian–Croatian cooperation in civil protection training. This document consolidates lessons learned, harmonises approaches, and supports long-term interoperability between institutions on both sides of the Adriatic.\n\nSeveral important training events were organised during this period:\n- Oil spill risk training (Bari, 14-15 May 2025), attended by all PPs, with contributions from national Italian authorities such as the National Civil Protection Department, ISPRA, and the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security.\n- Forest-fire preparedness and risk education activities, including school-based awareness sessions (organized by PP2 in Vučevica on 27 May 2025) and a 56-hour specialised course for AIB Analysts organised by PP3 and finalized in the month of May 2025.\n- Training at the National Civil Protection Gathering (Castellaneta Marina, 12 September 2025), organized by the LP, where tools from the HANDY Catalogue were disseminated.\n- Stakeholder dissemination events organised by the LP and PP4 and planned further actions by all other PPs to promote training results at regional and national levels.\n\nSubstantial achievements were recorded also in WP2, particularly in the procurement of specialised equipment that will enable partners to carry out joint capacity building and practical testing planned for the next period.\nThe LP finalised multiple procurement procedures, including thermal cameras for fire detection and maritime rescue, a rigid inflatable boat and cart, and oil-spill storage containers. Other tenders, such as informatic equipment, are ready to be launched in early Period 4. PP2 completed most lots of its large procurement for forest-fire and emergency equipment, with the majority of supplies already contracted. PP3 finalised the purchase of the oil-spill module and the UCL vehicle, while preparing the final tender for forest-fire module. PP4 successfully concluded all procurements related to A2.2 and ensured proper visibility of equipment delivered to its Civil Protection service. PP5 organised a public handover ceremony for the equipment procured under A2.2, raising awareness of the project’s positive impact on local preparedness.\n\nThe joint capacity-building sessions (A2.1) and practical testing exercises (A2.3) on the equipment purchased are already being planned in cooperation among PPs and scheduled to start in November 2025.\n\nThe reporting period was also characterised by strong collaborative efforts across the partnership.\nThe LP coordinated the preparation for the Mid-Term Review meeting, held with the JS on 4 September 2025. The review confirmed the overall positive progress of the project and highlighted the necessity to align with the spending targets.\nMoreover, PP3 hosted the 3rd SC and Partnership Meeting in Pescara on 30 September 2025, bringing together all PPs to analyse progress in WP1 and WP2, discuss procurement status, define timelines for capacity-building activities, and address management and communication aspects.\n\nAcross all PPs, continuous communication efforts through institutional channels, social media, websites, and public events increased the project’s visibility and improved public understanding of civil protection initiatives promoted by HANDY.\n\nThe results achieved in this period highlight the added value of a cross-border approach to disaster prevention in the Adriatic area. PPs have strengthened institutional collaboration through regular joint planning, improved the interoperability of equipment and procedures, and enhanced community awareness through targeted dissemination actions. At the same time, the PPs are working toward aligning training activities with cross-border needs, with the shared objective of further increasing preparedness and safety on both sides of the Adriatic Sea.","Dubrovnik, Aquileia (UD), L'Aquila, Split, Modugno (BA)","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},5]
["ITHR0200108","Promoting sustainable solutions for maritime cultural tourism","ADRIJOROUTES tackles the need to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of mass touristic flows in the programme area and to reduce the overwhelming dependence of the main Adriatic touristic destinations on massive coastal tourism, that put at risk the social and economic resilience of local communities. ADRIJOROUTES overall objective is to boost the sustainability, social inclusiveness and digitalization of the touristic sector of the Adriatic area, by promoting sustainable touristic experiences based on cultural assets of at least 16 Adriatic ports. ADRIJOROUTES engages cultural and touristic actors of the programme area and beyond in the valorization of ports cultural assets as gateway for green and digital cultural destinations consistent with the social wellbeing of local communities. The co-definition of a cross-border strategy and action plan with the involvement of Port Innovation Crews, local and regional partnerships on culture and tourism, allows to integrate the CB port cultural assets in the social and tourism policies and to valorize the ports cultural heritage of the involved ports as sustainable, alternative tourist experience and asset to boost social integration of port. The 7 co-developed ADRIJOUROUTES, composed of different experiences, physical and digital, of the involved ports and territories give a taste of the Adriatic as a cluster of cultures and destinations with common origins. The ADRIJOROUTES are digitally enhanced through the Cross Border living museum that allows a combination of offline cultural information and digital experiences, suitable in particular for disabled passengers and kids. The valorization of port cultural assets at cross-border and Adriatic-Ionian macroregional level allows to discover the connections between the ports cultural heritage and the common roots of the different local cultures, intertwined in a continuous social and cultural dialogue, showing the cultural richness of the Adriatic territories.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

Also, this context has been useful to provide any clarification about the project implementation phase and/or to point out any potential or actual criticality. The Central Adriatic Ports Authority, which has the role of Lead Partner, coordinated the meeting.\n\nFirst action in which project partners dedicated own efforts has been the engagement of the local Port Innovation Crews (PICs). In other words they created a sort of a community of stakeholders to be further involved and to collaborate with during the project implementation, in particular for the definition and elaboration of the Cross-border strategy and Action Plan, for the development of the ADRIJOROUTES and for the creation of the Immersive cultural experiences. Involed stakeholders have been primarily selected among those ones who already collaborated with the project partners in the previous IT-HR 2014-2020 REMEMBER project; in fact, one of the scope of the current ADRIJOROUTES project is to use and improve what it has been produced and delivered thanks to the REMEMBER project.\nThe draft version of the Cross-Border Strategy has been released and shared with the partners. During next weeks it will be further developed, also with the support of their PICs.\n\nWith the aim to identify and develop the ADRIJOROUTES (no.7 in total are expected) a pilot action guidelines have been drafted and released. It has been a joint work where project partners provided own inputs, discussed about the contents of the guidelines and made final review to adopt the document. Despite each ADRIJOROUTES will focus on a specific theme/topic, the pilot action guidelines will ensure a common way and method for their creation, able to bring them as a unique initiative to modify touristic flows and allow tourists to explore new and less-known areas and cultural attractions of the Italian and Croatian ports' areas and their surroundings.\n\nA significative and very impacting event was held in Ancona by the Central Adriatic Ports Authority. It has been an event organized with a cross-border and international approach, where speakers, who were invited to participate to the two foreseen panels and to have their speeches, came from different political, geographical and economic sectors. This ensured very interesting and deepen contributions for all the attendees. \n\nAnother project objective will be the realization of local Living Museums. In some cases, preparatory actions like executive design or agreements with other Organizations were still to be completed at the time of the project proposal submission; but significative progress were made during past months by the concerned project partners.  \n\nDuring this initial project phase, the Lead Partner has awarded the external assistance to ensure a good project management and partnership coordination as well as a sound financial management, in line with the expectations of the Italy-Croatia Programme.\nProject and Partners' Management Units have been created and appointed the communication managers.\nAll start-up activities useful to begin with the project implementation in the right way have been carried out with success and, in this sense, an \"Internal Regulation Plan\" was delivered in order to facilitate and support the partnership in adopting the proper the project management techniques, also by the financial point of view.\nFocusing on the risks in which the project could fall in, on how to avoid or mitigate them as well as on how to assess the relevance and the adequacy of implemented project activities, of the released deliverables and outputs, and of the achievement of expected project results, a \"Risk Management and Evaluation Plan\" has been drafted by the Lead Partner and then approved and adopted by the whole partnership. It contains all main information, instructions and tools able to give a clear project overview in terms of different kind of monitoring, quality assurance, risk analysis and risk management and project evaluation. \nDuring the period, the ADRIJOROUTES project continued its steady and coordinated progress, with all foreseen activities being implemented across the different work packages. Each Project Partner remained actively involved, either by delivering expected outputs or contributing to shared efforts. The Lead Partner ensured the smooth coordination of the partnership and the consistent advancement of activities.\n\nOne of the main aspects of the implementation phase was the strong and continuous collaboration with local Port Innovation Crews (PICs). These stakeholder groups played an essential role at the territorial level, actively supporting the identification of local Points of Interest (POIs) and selecting those best suited to be enhanced with new phygital content and to be included within the ADRIJOROUTES itineraries. Through participatory meetings and stakeholder consultations, potential collaborations with other regional or cross-border initiatives aligned with the goals of ADRIJOROUTES were explored with the PICs.\n\nA major milestone was reached with the finalization and official approval of the ADRIJOROUTES Cross-Border Strategy, formally adopted by all partners during a Project consortium Meeting. Following this key step, the partnership started focusing on drafting the Action Plan, which will guide the practical implementation of the strategy's vision and priorities.\n\nAnother significative achievement was the successful organization of the 2nd Cross-Border Event, hosted by PP7 – Zadar Port Authority on January 23, 2025, at the “Center for Creative Industries” in Zadar. The event, titled “Offering alternative tourist routes in cruise destinations in terms of sustainability and reducing traffic on the most frequented tourist routes”, was structured in two sessions: keynote speeches followed by a panel discussion. \nThe event attracted over 80 participants, including professionals from the tourism and cruise sectors, public authorities, cultural institutions, and academia, promoting dialogue on sustainable tourism practices and innovative approaches to cultural heritage valorization.\n\nThroughout the semester, the project’s communication and dissemination (C&D) activities remained vibrant and proactive, in line with the project's C&D Strategy. \nHighlights included: - The production and publication of a short promotional video on the Cross-Border Strategy, shared via the project’s YouTube channel; - The project’s presence at high-profile events such as the Adriatic Sea Forum and Sea Trade Cruise Med; - Regular updates on social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X) and on the official project website; - The publication of articles and promotional banners, both online and in printed formats, to increase project visibility.\n\nIn the framework of the Adrijoroutes Project partners worked intensively to identify and analyze relevant POIs through local meetings and surveys, involving stakeholders to ensure the inclusion of culturally significant and strategically relevant sites.\n\nA key moment was the technical meeting held on December 11, 2024, organized by KIP, as Work Package Leader. In this session, the consortium approved seven proposed tourist routes, summarizing the contributions of all partners. Clear definitions and thematic focus were assigned to each route. Following this meeting, a series of one-to-one online meetings with the PPs were conducted to ensure the harmonized adaptation of the seven routes to each territory’s characteristics. A dedicated digital tool was developed to consolidate all identified POIs at the route level. In addition, the partners defined which PP would contribute to each route and who would act as the “lead partner” for its implementation. \nThe finalized set of routes, including their names and assigned POIs, was presented and validated at the project meeting held on January 22, 2025, in Zadar.\nEach route integrates a resilient, digital, and green approach, responding to the growing demand for inclusive and sustainable tourism experiences and aiming to unlock the economic and cultural potential of the involved areas. The routes were designed to offer an engaging experience while promoting cultural heritage, environmental responsibility, and digital innovation.\n\nAlthough the practical implementation of the ADRIJOROUTES cultural offer is officially foreseen starting from next months, several partners have already begun with realization of some preparatory activities. These included for example: - Procurement of necessary equipment; - Initial stakeholder involvement; and - Conceptual development of digital content related to cultural heritage, such as videos, audio guides, written narratives, 3D models, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) products. Special attention is being given to accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that content will be suitable for children and people with disabilities.\nDuring the period, the ADRIJOROUTES project continued its steady and coordinated progress, with all foreseen activities being implemented across the different work packages. Each Project Partner remained actively involved, either by delivering expected outputs or contributing to shared efforts. The Lead Partner ensured the smooth coordination of the partnership and the consistent advancement of activities.\n\nClose collaboration with local Port Innovation Crews (PICs) was maintained, allowing for meaningful stakeholder involvement in identifying and selecting Points of Interest (POIs) to be enhanced through “phygital” contents.\nThe ADRIJOROUTES Action Plan was finalized and officially adopted. It outlines concrete measures to achieve the objectives of the ADRIJOROUTES Cross-Border Strategy by 2030 and it comprises 34 action \"fiches\" designed to promote the ADRIJO network and platform, and to enhance the cultural heritage of the Italian and Croatian partner ports as alternative cultural destinations in the Adriatic.\nEach fiche specifies how the action contributes to the Strategy’s objectives and to the horizontal principles of sustainability, accessibility, and social inclusiveness.\nConcurrently, significant work began to restructure and update the ADRIJO Platform, improving user accessibility and integrating new content such as the seven thematic routes. Each route now features a unique graphic design element to guide users in exploring content intuitively. Platform visibility requirements were also updated to ensure alignment with Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme regulations.\nThe platform was further enriched with updated content on both POIs and routes provided by partners.\nCommunication activities remained consistent with the project’s Communication & Dissemination Strategy. Highlights include participation in the Croatian Port Days in Dubrovnik, a cross-fertilization event in Ravenna (with another ETC project) and attendance at the Blue Marina Award in Pescara. \nSocial media platforms and the website were regularly updated, while the Lead Partner actively contributed to Programme communication campaigns.\n\nFinalization of the seven cross-border Adrijoroutes was completed, showcasing sustainable cultural experiences tied to Adriatic port heritage. The process was guided by clear POI selection criteria (final POI list was validated on February 2025) and a standardized On-Site Assessment Methodology to ensure accessibility, quality, and stakeholder input. Each partner played a specific role in route development being assigned of the coordination of a specific route:\n- LP (ADSPMAC) Route of Taste \n- PP2 (NASPA) Route of Architecture\n- PP3 (ADSPMACS) Naturalistic Route\n- PP5 (KIP) UNESCO Route.\n- PP6 (DPA) Historic Route.\n- PP7 (ZPA) Hidden Gems Route.\n- PP8 (RERA) Travellers & Trade Route.\nPP4 (PNAEAS) does not coordinate a route, however it participates in the realization of all the defined routes.\nBy the end of the Period all seven Adrijoroutes were published on the ADRIJO platform, advancing the project's mission to position Adriatic ports as inclusive cultural gateways, promoting sustainable tourism.\n\nRegarding the enhancement of content accessibility and creation of immersive cultural experiences. Partners launched tendering procedures to implement accessible solutions for diverse audiences and realize the Cross-Border Living Museums also basing on the CB Living Museum Methodology released at the beginning of the current period which provides unified implementation guidelines.\nPPs carried out different actions, all having the scope of creating a more accessible, inclusive, and digitally enriched tourism offer, preserving the hidden maritime heritage of Adriatic port cities and promoting long-term engagement through innovative cultural tools.\n\nThroughout the semester, the project’s communication and dissemination (C&D) activities remained vibrant and proactive, in line with the project's C&D Strategy. \nHighlights included: - The participation at the Croatian Port Days on 27–28 March 2025; - The organization of a joint public high-level event among ADRIJOROUTES and ADRIREC (IPA-ADRION project) in Ravenna; - The participation at the “Italian Cruise Day in tour” in Chioggia on 20 June 2025; - The Organization of a dissemination meeting to promote Komiža’s rich cultural and maritime heritage on 12 June 2025 and - The participation at “Blue Marina Awards” held at Marina di Pescara on 18 July 2025.\n\nA Steering committee meeting restricted to the partnership was organized in Venice in June 2025. It was the occasion to have an overview about progress in project implementation as well as to identify any criticality or potential risk that could affect the last phase of project realization.\nAlso, the mid-term review meeting was held in JUly 2025 with IT-HR Programme Authorities to check how the project was performing.

["ITHR0200390","Increasing coastal ecosystem resilience to climate change","ACTION develops joint cross-border actions to promote resilient behaviours with a spill over effect on the territory and relevant economic sectors, in parallel with actions to increase awareness of the populations living in the programme coastal areas. These areas are in fact particularly affected by climate change effects such as sea level rise and saline intrusion, with obvious repercussions specifically on the important natural and cultural heritage present in the project area: natural parks, Natura 2000 sites, and cultural attractors in the 4 project pilot areas. ACTION will analyse the risks on the pilot areas in terms of current ecosystem services useful for the minimisation of the effects of sea level rise and saltwater intrusion, as well as the means to increase them and identify common and shared actions based on the nature-based solutions principle. \nThus, the guiding principle for increasing resilience will be the ecosystem-based management (EBM). EBM aims at maintaining the ecosystem structure and functions while preserving and/or increasing the services produced over time. The project follows a precise logical and consequential structure of WPs through which, in a first phase, the 4 pilot areas are analysed and characterised to identify the main threats induced by climate change in a medium- and long-term time frame, secondly the ecosystem services that can increase the resilience of the pilot areas are identified, and then the most effective methods are developed, in line with the guiding principle outlined, to implement the 4 pilot actions on the territories. The experience of the project is finally systematised by sharing the identified solutions among the partnership and by developing a Joint Action Plan for the transferability of the shared methods and solutions to other territories.\nThe flow of data and results feeds in parallel and progressively into the extensive awareness campaign implemented in ACTION. The expected behavioural change requires a modification of our patterns in terms of how we live and produce goods and services and protect the flora and fauna that give us food and life. In order to achieve this level of awareness amongst the different project target groups, a two-phase pathway is implemented consisting of a first phase of representation of the situation in the pilot areas, and of a second propositional one, through the identification of the benefits that ecosystem services produce. The latter phase involves all project target groups and aims at developing proactive adaptation behaviours for the increased resilience of natural and cultural heritage. \n\nThe main project outputs are: 1) Ecosystem and socio-economic analysis of the 4 pilot areas (2 IT and 2 HR); 2) Analysis of the risks and threats that climate change may cause and their assessment; 3) Representation of scenarios of climate change effects through multimedia tools, videos and dioramas; 4) Identification of ecosystem services and possible benefits to increase resilience; 5) Cross-border awareness campaign targeting key stakeholders: general public, SMEs, policy makers from local and regional authorities; 6) Implementation of an exchange experience for students and teachers between the two countries aimed at developing adaptation projects; 7) Involvement of stakeholders from relevant economic sectors in the project areas to raise their awareness and promote adaptation actions: 12 Public events across borders jointly organized; 1 capacity building activity and several local engagement initiatives; 8) Implementation of 4 pilot actions; 9) Sharing of solutions identified in the 4 project areas and definition of a Joint Strategy and action plan; 10) Transfer of the Joint Strategy to the programme area. Through cross-border cooperation, the two countries can benefit from the co-sharing of resources and expertise, leading to more efficient and effective results.\nThe main elements of innovation are: 1) the methodological approach, based on coordinated knowledge building and sharing among scientific actors, local authorities and Park management bodies involved in the development of \"Nature based solutions\" approaches, unprecedented in the cooperation area; 2) the development of a large-scale cross-border awareness campaign targeting key stakeholders as a tool to increase the resilience of cultural and environmental heritage and related economic activities.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

At the same time, overall project coordination (PMu meetings, KoM, etc.) was ensured towards the achievement of the objectives thanks to the broader collegial meetings and the sharing of contact points and common criticalities among the partners. \nFirst steps in the achievement of the final project goal to a define a “Joint Strategy to increase the resilience of the territories to the climate change threats through the use of Nature Based Solutions”\nwere implemented, through the start of activity 1.2 regarding the characterization of the pilot areas in Italy (Po Delta Park, Coastal Dunes Park) and Croatia (Vransko Lake Park, Neretva Delta), the identification of common and also site-specific threats to be tackled, and the mapping of local stakeholders to be involved in project activities.  \n\nMore in details:\n- the characterization of the pilot areas has been started thanks to the development of shared and homogeneous data collection tools and methodologies for environmental and socio-economic data;\n-  stakeholders to be involved in the socio-economic survey and in the communication activities have been identified, and a preliminary calendar shared among partners for the awareness raising meetings due to start in Period 2 defined;\n- the capitalization process of projects/best practices linked to climate change issues in the project pilot areas has been launched, collecting in this first reporting period the available reports/case studies regarding the ecological characterization of the sites;\n- the planning of the interventions to be carried out at the 4 pilot sites has started, sharing common goals and methodologies.\nDuring the reporting period, the project work plan was successfully followed and implemented thanks to the efforts and contributions of all project partners (PPs). Several technical, collegial, and bilateral meetings were conducted which further enhanced the relationships and collaboration among the PPs. This ensured the effective technical implementation of project activities and the completion of deliverables within the planned deadlines.\nCooperation among the PPs was tangible both in terms of methodological exchange and operational planning during the preliminary phases of each activity, as well as in the division of tasks and collaborative creation of deliverables. While these deliverables are specific to each area, they effectively share a common methodological approach, structure, and objectives.\nDuring Period 2, this structured approach led to the completion of deliverable D.1.2.1 “Reports on the characterization of the pilot areas” (Po Delta Park and Coastal Dunes Park in Italy and Vransko Lake Park and Neretva Delta in Croatia). These reports include a quantitative and qualitative analysis from ecological and socio-economic perspectives for each of the four pilot areas. Simultaneously, deliverable D.2.2.1 “Capitalisation Report” was finalized, collecting and systematizing best practices and experiences from each partner, highlighting innovative and scalable solutions. Additionally, a first thematic workshop on “Natural Solutions” was held.\nThese milestones are crucial foundations for subsequent activities which will be implemented in the coming project periods, including the ongoing process of identifying hazards and threats in the pilot areas, assessing climate change effects and scenarios, and planning communication and awareness-raising activities targeted at selected groups.\nFinally, each responsible partner proceeded with operational planning and the necessary procurement related to the pilot actions to be implemented in the four target areas (foreseen under WP3), while project communication was implemented in a transversal manner to project activities.\nThese partnership efforts represent concrete steps toward achieving the overall project goal, i.e. to define a “Joint Strategy to increase the resilience of the territories to the climate change threats through the use of Nature Based Solutions”.\n\nDuring Period 3, the project advanced substantially across all Work Packages, strengthening both technical outputs and cooperation among the partnership. In fact, the project work plan was successfully followed and implemented thanks to the efforts and contributions of all project partners, and several technical, collegial, and bilateral meetings were conducted.\nUnder WP1, partners fine-tuned the ecological and socio-economic characterisation of all pilot areas (A1.2), integrating updated data on water systems, sediment conditions, habitats and species, as well as refined socio-economic analyses. Building on these foundations, partners developed the common methodology for identifying medium- and long-term hazards (A1.3) through the design of a matrix that analyzes system sensitivity to climate threats and the degree of exposure under different climate scenarios for each pilot site, enabling all responsible partners to produce four analytical reports. This work also allowed partners to analyze adaptive capacity and residual risks under different climate scenarios (A1.4), resulting in four reports, one for each pilot site.\nTechnical standards and harmonisation procedures were agreed for the geodatabase (D1.3.2), whose creation is in progress, while dataset preparation has been completed for all pilot sites.\nThe work on hazards and scenarios supported partners in defining the structure and concepts for awareness-raising tools and activities, to be finalised and implemented in Period 4. Under A1.5, the awareness campaign advanced with multilingual materials, sponsored posts on social media, four completed videos, and a wide range of local events (e.g. educational tours, conferences, guided visits and eco-cleaning events) reaching diverse stakeholder groups across Italy and Croatia. The cross-border event “Natural solutions” was also organized to address climate change mitigation and ecosystem conservation in different contexts, involving a wide range of stakeholders from 6 countries, both online and in presence in Comacchio (FE), Italy. \nWP2 also recorded important achievements. The methodological framework for assessing climate-related impacts on ecosystem services and identifying suitable Nature-based Solutions was finalised (A2.3). Using the CICES v5.2 classification and building on WP1 results, partners are conducting analytical work that will guide NbS selection, supported by tools selected through the Capitalisation activity completed in the previous period. Under A2.4, the “Guardians of Nature” educational kit (IT–HR–EN) and project’s gadgets were finalised, while preparations for the cross-border study tour have begun. Activity A2.5 established the common framework for awareness-raising activities, defining target audiences and planned initiatives, and the design of the related communication campaign.\nRegarding WP3, significant progress in the four project target areas aligns with the planned timeline for the pilot actions. In Ravenna (A3.2), the service for designing the new hydraulic management system was awarded and initiated, while the setup of the Climate Adaptation Centre advanced with its visual identity and procurement procedures for equipment and furnishings. In the Vransko Lake Natural Park (A3.3), the service contract for the Habitat Restoration Plan was signed, and plan development is progressing on schedule. In the Dune Coastal Park (A3.4), experts worked on an integrated proposal to mitigate climate-change impacts, to be validated through stakeholder consultations. In the Neretva Estuary (A3.5), PP8 finalised design recommendations, leading to the approval of a revised landscaping study and the launch of the corresponding public procurement.\nAcross all Work Packages, the added value of the cooperation is evident in shared methodologies, technical exchanges, harmonised processes, joint educational and communication actions, and coordinated pilot interventions. These elements provide a solid foundation for launching the activities of Work Package 4 – Strategies and Action Plan, a concrete step toward achieving the overall project goal. This work, starting in Period 4, will play a central role in shaping the project’s medium- and long-term impact and ensuring its transferability.","Ploče, Ostuni, Zagreb , Biograd na Moru, Ferrara, Ravenna, Comacchio (FE)","HR, IT",null,"Italia (IT), Ravenna, Via don Carlo Sala, 7, 48121\nHrvatska (HR), Ploče, Andrije Kačića Mišića Street, 1, 20340\n",null,null,null,9]
["ITHR0400244","Supporting local authorities to adopt measures to properly commit with the Covenant of Mayors","The EU Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy brings together thousands of local governments that want to secure a better future for their citizens. The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (CoM), which has been launched in 2008, represent the mainstream European voluntary movement involving local authorities in the development and implementation of sustainable energy and climate governance policies. Covenant of Mayors represents then an instrument useful to increase the sustainable governance policies of the territories involved in CO-MAY project proposal. The project overall objective is the to develop a joint collaboration process enhancing the institutional and strategic capacities of the three through the exchange of good practices, the support of less experienced cities, the building and upgrade of their skills on their sustainable governance policies of the partners in line with commitments requested by the Covenant of Mayors. In line with the project main objective, CO-MAY intends to realise a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and to produce the revision and the upgrade of the three project partners' Covenant of Mayors action plans. The project methodology approach emphasizes the cross-border nature of the project: it is based on a strong cooperation dimension, ensuring synergies and competencies of partners with particular regards to the exchange of experiences/best practices and the mutual and cross-border support according to the level of knowledge of the partners. Particularly, less experienced local authorities (Municipality of Mesagne and Municipality of Pietracatella) will be supported by Municipality of Labin building the needed skills to easily adapt the commitments requested by the CoM. This cross-border collaboration acts for the needed approach to achieve project goals, and at the same time represents the main innovative aspect as thanks to the project there will be an increase of governance policy capacities connected with the Covenant of Mayors.","2023-07-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

The project’s most important result was that all three municipalities successfully updated their Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs). These plans are the key local tools to reduce pollution, save energy, and make cities more resilient. The updated strategies now include concrete actions—such as energy-saving measures for public buildings, the redesign of green spaces, and stronger local cooperation. Most importantly, the project built long-term relationships that will continue to benefit each town beyond CO-MAY's duration.\n\nAt the beginning, each town shared a common challenge: how to turn climate promises into real actions. Many small and medium-sized municipalities across the Italy–Croatia area had joined the Covenant of Mayors, committing to reducing CO₂ emissions. But turning these commitments into action was difficult—due to a lack of funding, expertise, and coordination. CO-MAY brought together three public authorities with different levels of experience, encouraging them to learn from each other and work together.\n\nThe Municipality of Mesagne (Italy) led the project and coordinated activities. It carried out technical studies to improve energy performance in two key public buildings: the municipal stadium and city hall. These studies will help the town invest in clean energy and reduce consumption in the coming years.\n\nThe Municipality of Labin (Croatia) brought valuable experience to the group. It included a green redesign of Park Kature into its updated climate plan. The park project helps Labin adapt to climate change and gives people a greener, healthier place to gather. Labin also hosted a fun and creative community event called “Živa Placa”, where locals—especially young people—took part in recycling and energy-awareness workshops in the town square.\n\nThe Municipality of Pietracatella (Italy) revised its old energy plan from 2012 into a new, modern action plan that now includes climate adaptation strategies. Although smaller and less experienced, the town showed strong community spirit. It organized workshops on waste reduction, green spaces, and sustainable living. It also hosted a cross-border event to share ideas on energy communities—a promising way for citizens to work together to produce and share renewable energy.\n\nCitizens, schools, local associations, and public officials were involved throughout the project. Their interest and participation showed that climate action is not only for experts—it’s for everyone. As one local teacher in Pietracatella shared, “Thanks to this project, our students now understand how climate change affects their lives—and how they can be part of the solution.”\n\nAt the end of the project, the partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), committing to continued cooperation in sustainable energy and climate action. This agreement shows that CO-MAY wasn’t just a one-time project—it created a network and vision for the future.\n\nThe legacy of CO-MAY is already visible:\n- Each partner now has an up-to-date and realistic action plan to fight climate change.\n- Public buildings and green areas are ready for energy-saving improvements.\n- Citizens have a better understanding of what local climate action means.\n- Municipalities are better prepared to apply for future EU funding and continue implementing their plans.\n\nIn the coming years, the towns plan to follow up with investment projects based on the studies and strategies developed during CO-MAY. They will also continue working together, supporting each other through joint initiatives and experience sharing.\n\nCO-MAY proves that even small municipalities can lead the way toward a more sustainable future—especially when they work together.","Municipality of Pietracatella, Labin, Mesagne","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},3]

The common collaboration would also contribute to the reinforcement of institutional capacities of public authorities and stakeholders.\n\n The overall objective is to investigate, identify and contribute to solutions of cross border obstacles in risk management for natural disaster such as forest fires through cross border cooperation with 1 analysis and recommendation of administrative and legal obstacles hindering cooperation; an improved cooperation among organizations through a letter of commitment, 2 joint cross border common exercises, 1 training course on safety and 2 citizen’s campaign.\n\n The outputs of CICERO project are recommendations for alleviation of legal and administrative obstacles in cross border cooperation in risk management; a letter of commitment for risk management indicating the commitment to collaborate in case of natural disasters such as forest fires and joint cross border exercises and trainings.\n\n The approach to solving common challenges in the program area of the CICERO project will aim first to investigate and identify the cross border legal and administrative obstacles in risk management for natural disaster in order to propose solutions and recommendations for their alleviation and improved cooperation. The approach is also aimed to strengthen the capacity for institutional cooperation by encouraging the main actors of the civil protection to plan joint solutions in the event of natural disasters with the joint preparation measures and joint disaster response measures. \n\nA Transnational approach is needed because it is clear that natural disasters don’t stop on the Country border and a joint approach is indispensable. Moreover, Civil Protection volunteers are decreasing (in Italy) due, for ex., to people aging. In this context it becomes necessary to start a dialogue with other protection groups beyond borders. Veneto region in Italy and Istria in Croatia are geographically near and similar, so it is worth exploring differences and similarities between Italian and Croatian protocols in order to investigate the possibility of reaching a formal agreement on cooperation. \n\n The innovative aspect of CICERO remains the local dimension that allows a real joint operation with two teams from different countries that can interact in the same emergency scenario in a coordinated way.\nThe new territorial dimension constitutes also an innovative aspect because unlike in the past project in the area there is a Project Partner from Veneto Region, which will collaborate for the first time with the City of Labin.","2023-08-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

Climate change has extended the fire season and intensified extreme weather across the Adriatic. Despite these common threats, cross-border emergency response remained hampered by different regulations, training protocols, and communication barriers.\nThe Problem\nWhen disasters strike, every minute counts. However, Italian and Croatian civil protection units faced significant obstacles to effective collaboration. Administrative procedures for cross-border interventions were complex, equipment lacked compatibility, and volunteers had different training backgrounds. Decreasing volunteer numbers in Italy created additional pressure on local response capabilities. Most critically, despite close proximity, emergency responders lacked formal cooperation mechanisms.\nThe Solution\nCICERO developed a comprehensive approach to breaking down barriers between Italian and Croatian civil protection systems. Through systematic analysis of legal and administrative obstacles, partners created concrete recommendations for streamlining cross-border emergency response, formalized in a Letter of Commitment.\nThe project delivered specialized training courses on safety procedures, rope work and height operations for 25+ volunteers, while drone pilot certification enhanced aerial monitoring capabilities. Two major joint cross-border exercises in Labin, Croatia and Padua, Italy brought together over 240 participants to test collaborative protocols under realistic scenarios.\nA public awareness campaign reached 50,000+ citizens, including specialized approaches for vulnerable groups. The distribution of 15,000 informational leaflets in Italy linked to the national \"IononrischiO\" preparedness resources, while Croatian outreach included educational materials for schoolchildren.\nThe Cooperation\nCooperation between the Pratiarcati Union of Municipalities (Italy) and the City of Labin (Croatia) proved essential. Labin contributed experience in European project management and rescue operations from heights, while Pratiarcati brought specialized knowledge in forest fire prevention. The Croatian partner organized drone training for Italian volunteers, while Italian experts shared protocols for height safety and rope techniques.\nDuring joint exercises, teams discovered equipment compatibility issues that couldn't have been identified without hands-on testing. The Italian exercise incorporated innovative approaches for communicating with vulnerable citizens during evacuations, with Croatian participants contributing additional perspectives.\nThe Benefits and Change\nFor both organizations, CICERO delivered lasting benefits. Twenty volunteers received certification in specialized techniques, while twelve obtained drone piloting licenses. Both organizations significantly improved their capacity to communicate with vulnerable populations during emergencies.\nIn the targeted regions, CICERO transformed how civil protection units approach cross-border cooperation. The once-separate emergency response systems now have established coordination mechanisms and experience working together. Equipment compatibility has improved, communication channels are clearer, and both sides have enhanced technical capabilities.\nFor local citizens, the project has increased natural disaster risk awareness and improved preparedness. The focus on vulnerable groups has ensured emergency information reaches those who most need it, addressing a critical gap in previous communication strategies.\nDurability and Future\nThe Letter of Commitment ensures continued cooperation beyond the project timeline. Both organizations plan to conduct annual joint training exercises and maintain regular information exchange. The skills developed during specialized training remain within both civil protection systems, with certified volunteers able to train new members.\nPartners intend to develop a follow-up standard project to expand the territorial scope of cooperation and implement CICERO solutions on a larger scale. As climate change continues to increase natural disaster frequency and intensity, this cross-border cooperation model provides a valuable template for other border regions facing similar challenges.","-","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},2]
["ITHR0400329","INnovating public institutions as enABLers of the Ecological transition","Digitalisation and ecological transition are two closely-connected areas and are at the forefront of productivity and attractiveness for local communities and SMEs.\n\nTheir enhancement is strategic for territories and local authorities can play a key role in supporting local stakeholders, acting as enablers of the ecological transition through effective public digital services.\nHowever, there are still several obstacles hindering this potential positive role.\nItaly and Croatia need to clearly identify these common current legal and behavioral barriers to the fulfillment of public digital services as key tools for the ecological transition, increasing the knowledge base, while proposing innovative solutions.\n\nFor this reason, INABLE project aims to develop an approach able to fill the gap between cutting-edge research in the field of sustainable development and local authorities, through digitalisation. \n\nINABLE specific objectives are: \n1) Identify common legal and behavioral barriers to the fulfillment of public digital services as key tools for sustainable production and consumption;\n2) Develop a sustainable service design approach in local authorities to enhance their ability to support circular economy among SMEs;\n3) Elaborate a flexible common framework for an ongoing dialogue between research centers and small-sized municipalities about ecological transition pathways.\n\nMain outputs:\nJointly developed report for the identification of common legal and behavioral obstacles, with a set of possible solutions;\nJoint Trainings;\nPublic events across borders jointly organized;\nCooperation agreement signed by a public-private cross-border network.\n\nMain Beneficiaries: Municipalities; local SMEs; young entrepreneurs; NGOs\n\nThe approach proposed by INABLE shows some innovative features, notably the intertwined response to different but linked challenges, such as low digital performances in local public authorities and the need for sustainable innovation and more circular economies. At the same time a key added value will be the cross-border approach, allowing a wider perspective and the exchange of best practices as well as common hardships.\nFinally, another original aspect of the proposal regards the involvement of small municipalities, with two partners as newcomers.

Small municipalities, constrained by bureaucratic complexities and limited digital infrastructures, struggle to provide effective support for local businesses in their efforts to adopt sustainable production and consumption models. Recognizing these challenges, the INABLE project was launched to empower public institutions, enhance digital services, and foster cross-border collaboration for sustainability\n\nAt the heart of the project was a comprehensive effort to analyze and dismantle the administrative and digital obstacles that prevented public services from effectively promoting sustainability. \nHow? For instance, working on Project partners own websites' environmental performance, through a tailored assessment of carbon emissions associated to their digital infrastructure. This activity was useful also to raise public officers' awareness about the challenges deriving from digital emissions and the multifaceted approach needed to lead the Twin Transition.\nThrough extensive research and collaboration, the project identified key inefficiencies and proposed innovative solutions tailored to the needs of local governments and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). This involved not only the modernization of digital tools but also a fundamental shift in the way public institutions interacted with businesses and the community to support ecological transition.\n\nEducation and capacity-building played a crucial role in INABLE’s approach. The project introduced targeted training activities to equip municipalities with the necessary skills and knowledge to integrate sustainability into their operations. Through a series of  3 digital workshops, 3 Sustainability & Tech Labs and ongoing communication, stakeholders across Italy and Croatia engaged in meaningful dialogue, exchanged best practices, and co-developed strategies to enhance the effectiveness of digital services in fostering sustainability. This participatory model ensured that the solutions identified were both practical and widely applicable.\n\nOne of the most significant achievements of the INABLE project was the formation of a transnational network linking public and private stakeholders through a formal cooperation agreement. This network established a lasting platform for collaboration, allowing municipalities and businesses to continue working together beyond the project's duration. The signing of this agreement underscored the commitment of all partners to maintaining momentum in ecological innovation and digital transformation.\n\nDetailed reports on sustainability performance provided municipalities with actionable insights for improving environmental policies, while a three-year strategic action plan offered a structured roadmap for integrating digital public services into the ecological transition. In addition, training materials and event reports were made publicly available, ensuring that knowledge dissemination and skill development could continue to benefit a broader audience even after the project’s conclusion.\n\nTo ensure the durability of these achievements, INABLE’s three-year strategic action plan serves as a guiding document for future initiatives. This plan, along with continued training programs and the reinforcement of the transnational network, guarantees that the advancements made during the project will not only be sustained but also expanded upon. The project’s emphasis on knowledge-sharing ensures that new stakeholders can continuously learn from the experiences and insights generated by INABLE.\nAs the Lead Partner Manager Andrea Castiglioni states \"We are satisfied that we have achieved concrete results, including an in-depth analysis of obstacles in the development of public services accompanied by possible solutions, but also extensive training on sustainability issues and the organization of cross-border public events to stimulate dialogue, up to the signing of a cooperation agreement\".\n\nWhile the project has successfully laid the foundation for digital transformation in support of sustainability, challenges and opportunities remain on the horizon. The rapid evolution of digital technologies, namely AI, necessitates ongoing adaptation to keep public services efficient and effective. Additionally, there is vast potential to scale INABLE’s solutions in the Italy-Croatia region and beyond, extending the project’s benefits to other European municipalities facing similar challenges. Sustaining engagement among stakeholders will be essential, ensuring that the collaborative spirit fostered by INABLE continues to drive progress in ecological transition.\n\nAs municipalities and businesses continue to build upon its legacy, INABLE’s vision of a digitally empowered, sustainable future remains firmly within reach.","Montebello di Bertona, Červar-Porat, Poreč, Motovun-Montona, Rimini","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},4]

Additionally, PP2 - IUAV introduced the work planned for the first year under WP1 - Climate Change Scenarios of the UNESCO Sites and Risk Assessment, detailing the contributions required from the PPs.\nUnder the coordination of PP2 and using a standardized template, the partners collected the inputs from various target areas sectors (EU projects, environment, urban planning, culture, and UNESCO management), provided critical data, information, and documents for analyzing the potential impact of climate change on UNESCO sites (Activity A1.1).\nThe first in-person transnational meeting was held in Ferrara on May 24th 2024. The agenda was divided into two sessions:\nFirst Session: This session was conducted jointly with the Italy- Croatia project STRENGTH - STRategies for assessing climate change and natural hazards' impact on urban ecosystems, increasing resilience to ENvironmental hazards, and promoting territorial GrowTH, led by the University of Ferrara. The session provided an opportunity to identify potential synergies and collaboration points between the two projects.\nSecond Session (CAMPUS-specific): This session focused on administrative and financial matters discussed in the first Steering Committee, and on the first results and planned activities under WP1, planning the work outlined in Activities A1.2 and A1.3.\nFurthermore, the LP developed an Internal Quality Plan to support CAMPUS partners in managing the project effectively under common guidelines. Additionally, a Communication and Dissemination Strategy was created to enhance internal communication and establish the most appropriate channels for disseminating project results.\nEfforts to increase the project's visibility included updating the official website with general CAMPUS information and news. The LP also set up social media accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to ensure wide dissemination of CAMPUS activities and outcomes.\n\nThe CAMPUS partnership is currently developing preparatory materials to support the creation of the Monitoring System Tool for UNESCO sites—the project's first key output. This tool is designed to be integrated into each UNESCO site’s management system by the end of the project.\nDuring this second semester, the IUAV team completed an initial analysis of each local context based on data and information collected with the support of CAMPUS partners. They further refined this analysis to identify the primary climate change-related threats that the Climate Adaptation Plans will address. While this analytical and contextualization work is underway, RERA team is laying the groundwork for stakeholder engagement at the local level. A preliminary draft of the stakeholder engagement methodology and the framework for local events has been shared with the partnership for an initial round of feedback. In the third semester, all partners will initiate stakeholder engagement activities through a conference to present IUAV’s findings, followed by a series of workshops. These workshops will validate the results against stakeholders' real-world experiences and facilitate the co-design of solutions to be incorporated into the final Climate Change Adaptation Plans.\n\nDuring this second semester partners met in November 13-14 2024 in Venice, Italy. The event was organised and coordinated by IUAV and was useful in providing updates on the methodological approach that the work team is using for the analysis. In addition, other on line meetings have been held to share the state of the art of the planned activities.\nDuring the third semester, activities for the Climate change scenarios of the UNESCO sites and monitoring tool system implementation were consolidated and finalised, establishing the foundation for all CAMPUS project outputs. In particular, the analysis of potential impact and data collection, the vulnerability and risk analysisand as well as the climate change risk scenarios were completed. This enabled IUAV to begin developing the Monitoring System Tool, designed to be integrated into Climate Change Adaptation Plans and aligned with existing local tools. A first draft template has been shared with partners, who are currently reviewing it and suggesting adjustments to ensure compatibility with local implementation.\n\nUNESCO conferences were organised in nearly all target ares in order to raise the stakeholders awareness on the topic. All the partners organised the conference at local level and the Po Delta partner is planning its implementation in the next period.\nIn relation to the definition of UNESCO climate change Adapation Plans, coordinator RERA provided the methodology for stakeholder engagement, enabling partners to plan and launch activities within their Living Labs (LLs). All partners have now established their LLs, while the Municipality of Ferrara and RERA have already initiated co-design workshops.

["ITHR0200439","Governance of Wetlands in Italy-Croatia cross border region","Coastal wetlands of Italy-Croatia cross-border region are acknowledged as an high-value natural capital, screens of biodiversity, providing relevant ecosystem services for both local communities and visitors/users from a wider area. Climate Change (CC) is severely affecting the ecological condition of these important but fragile ecosystems, even threatening their existence itself, as deepened in the Interreg IT-HR 2014-2020 “Adriaclim” project (expected end by June 2023) and confirmed by recently released IPCC report (March, 2023). Wetland managers and relevant stakeholders are facing at local scale a wide array of challenges in terms of CC adaptation approaches, strategies and commitments.\nIn spite of all efforts currently lavished, both Italian and Croatian coastal wetlands have not achieved a satisfying level of resilience to CC impacts. Different socio-economic business models and environmental management approaches are still carried on as usual, thus exposing wetland communities to unprecedented crisis. Engaging local communities in active participation processes, raising awareness amongst all relevant stakeholders, sharing knowledge and responsibilities, adopting an integrated approach and taking action with Nature Based Solutions wherever possible is a CC adaptation strategy that can no longer be delayed.\nThanks to Interreg IT-HR 2014-2020 “Crew” project (ended up in 2021), a new governance tool – the Wetland Contract (WC) – has been tested in seven Italy-Croatia cross border wetlands in order to set up a robust and effective multistakeholder agreement for the integrated management of those key ecosystems. Starting from that experience, GREW project aims at achieving a joint advanced governance for Italy-Croatia cross-border wetlands, capable of providing an added value to place-based management approaches in terms of CC adaptation. GREW will enhance and upgrade the WC experience carried out in some of the most advanced CREW pilots (five out of seven, three in Italy and two in Croatia), capitalizing the lesson learnt (reinforcing strengths and overcoming weaknesses) and transferring it to three additional new pilots (one in Italy and two in Croatia).\nThus eight pilot WCs will be signed by the end of GREW project (expected in 2026) as voluntary-based negotiated agreements for the CC adaptation of eight Italy-Croatia cross-border coastal wetlands (WP1).\nIn order to proof the added value of WC governance model when implemented for achieving a CC adaptation strategy and building trust on it, one common CC adaptation measure and eight demonstrative site-specific CC adaptation measures will be implemented along with each WC process (totally sixteen solutions), engaging all relevant stakeholders and the broader community at local scale (WP2).\nLast but not least, a capacity building activity will be offered to managers and experts of other Italy-Croatia cross-border wetlands, together with the undersigning of a cross-border joint MoU for committing all parties to take action beyond GREW end up, in order to disseminate GREW outputs and facilitate the dissemination and transferring of the overall lesson learnt (WP3).\nEstablishing permanent multistakeholder decision-making arena, sharing a common knowledge and vision, interweaving responsibilities and commitments from both public and private sectors can be considered the basis for copying with CC challenges, providing a corner stone for effective and long-lasting place-based adaptation strategies. By implementing the foreseen actions, GREW will also promote the implementation of EU policies among Italy and Croatia. WCs particularly help to achieve the goals of Environmental Directives such as Habitats Directive, Birds Directive, Flood Directive and Water Framework Directive.\nA joint initiative is needed, in order to take into proper account the geographical features of Italy-Croatia cross-border wetlands, both environmental and socio-economic, and get to a robust approach to common challenges. Management responses to CC impacts cannot be designed with a recipe-book approach, but require tailor-made in initiatives that an Italy-Croatia cross-border “community of practice” can inspire and feed.\nGREW is candidate to be the first project at Mediterranean scale in which WCs will be tested as CC adaptation tools for coastal wetlands, thus providing a relevant benchmark and reference both at cross-border and inter-regional scale.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

Building on the successful foundation of the Interreg IT-HR “Crew” project, GREW is extending the WC model to address specific climate challenges across Italy and Croatia’s coastal wetland areas. By August 2024, the project has initiated the development of eight pilot WC agreements, engaging local stakeholders in shared governance frameworks to implement tailored climate adaptation measures. This phase has seen significant steps toward collaborative governance, including community engagement activities and workshops designed to foster stakeholder involvement in wetland management.\n\nProgress highlights include preparatory work for climate adaptation activities across the pilot sites, with certain site-specific adaptation measures already underway. Capacity building sessions have also been initiated, providing training and knowledge exchange for managers and environmental experts to strengthen regional expertise. Although a few activities are slightly behind schedule due to initial logistical adjustments, the project team is actively working to realign timelines to ensure that all objectives are achieved as planned. The cross-border memorandum of understanding (MoU) is also in development, marking a commitment to long-term collaboration beyond the project’s duration.\n\nThrough these activities, GREW is already demonstrating the added value of cross-border cooperation, particularly through Italy-Croatia’s “community of practice” approach. This cooperation not only promotes knowledge sharing but also sets a precedent for the integration of EU environmental policies at a local level, showcasing the potential of the WC model as a pioneering climate adaptation tool for Mediterranean wetlands. The GREW project is well-positioned to achieve its objectives, setting a benchmark for innovative and collaborative climate action in sensitive coastal ecosystems.\nOverall, partners are making progress in defining and implementing Wetland Contracts and in environmental monitoring and awareness-raising activities, with an increasing commitment to stakeholder collaboration and shared management to address climate change challenges.\nWetland Contracts: Almost all partners have initiated or updated Wetland Contracts involving strategic stakeholders and opening the discussion to the public.\nStakeholder Engagement: Over 300 stakeholders (public authorities, NGOs, schools, citizens, businesses) were involved across Italy and Croatia, reflecting strong community commitment to wetland protection.\nClimate Monitoring: Multiple pilot sites are now equipped with meteorological stations, data loggers, and environmental sensors to monitor the impact of climate change in real time.\nPilot Actions: Specific climate adaptation actions have begun, such as studies on saltwater intrusion, vegetation restoration, and plans for mechanical water control systems.\nCitizen Science App: Partners collaborated on designing the multi-language app to allow the public to report environmental changes in wetland areas, increasing awareness and local data collection.\n\nThe main outputs delivered are:\n- Reports on stakeholder analysis and regulatory frameworks in each pilot area\n- Technical studies on environmental conditions and climate risks\n- Communication materials: roll-ups, posters, infographics, and local media coverage\n- Public events and workshops, including over 20 participatory meetings across pilot areas\n- Joint SharePoint platform and steering meetings for continuous partner collaboration\n\nWe can also highlight at least three main achievements, relevant for the ovealla project:\nShared Methods: Partners exchanged tools and experiences, especially building on Croatia’s previous CREW project successes.\nJoint Learning: Institutions from different regions co-designed solutions, making the approach more flexible, replicable, and effective.\nStronger Voice: Cooperation across borders helps coastal wetland protection gain more visibility at national and EU levels.\nDuring this reporting period, GREW made important progress in protecting and adapting the coastal wetlands of Italy and Croatia to climate change. The project entered its most visible phase, moving from planning to concrete action in all eight pilot sites. Partners worked together to improve local Wetland Contracts (WCs), test new climate adaptation measures, and engage communities through education and communication.\n\nUnder Work Package 1, each partner updated or drafted its local Wetland Contract with a stronger focus on climate change. Local meetings, workshops, and consultations across both countries have been organised. These events brought together local authorities, farmers, tourism operators, and schools, building a shared understanding of how wetlands can act as natural buffers against floods, droughts, and rising sea levels. A particularly relevant result was achieved in Ferrara, where the Po di Volano Wetland Contract was officially signed by 28 local organisations, setting an example of collective action for climate resilience.\n\nUnder Work Package 2, partners focused on two practical achievements. First, the GREW Citizen Science App reached its complete functional version. Developed jointly by all partners, the app enables citizens, students, and visitors to observe and report simple environmental indicators such as water levels, vegetation, and biodiversity. This tool will help connect scientific monitoring with community awareness and participation. Second, all eight pilot sites advanced their local climate adaptation measures, addressing concrete challenges such as coastal erosion, water salinity, habitat loss, and waste reduction. For example:\n-\tIn the Venice and Marano lagoons, studies and stewardship actions involved local associations and SMEs to preserve the lagoon environment.\n-\tIn Palud Reserve and Neretva Delta, equipment was purchased and installed to monitor water conditions and improve accessibility.\n-\tIn Brijuni National Park, a “Zero Plastic Island” campaign was launched to reduce waste and promote environmental care among visitors.\nThese efforts demonstrate how the project translates plans into visible improvements for local ecosystems and communities.\n\nUnder Work Package 3, GREW partners continued to raise awareness on the importance of wetlands in climate adaptation. Communication actions included public exhibitions, educational events, and online campaigns reaching thousands of people. IUAV presented GREW at major international and national events such as the Venice Biennale and the COLOURS Summer School, while all partners produced local materials—videos, roll-ups, and leaflets—to promote the project in their territories.\n\nThe project’s added value lies in showing that climate adaptation can succeed only through cooperation. By linking science, governance, and community engagement, GREW has turned wetlands into living laboratories of resilience—places where nature and people work together to face the challenges of a changing climate.\n\nGREW laid the foundations for the project’s capitalisation phase, focusing on consolidating the methodologies generated under WP1 and WP2 as transferable models for other wetland areas in the Adriatic and beyond. Partners worked to ensure that outputs such as the common methodology for Wetland Contracts, the Citizen Science App, and the pilot adaptation measures are documented and ready for uptake by external stakeholders. IUAV coordinated the collection of materials and experiences to feed into the forthcoming Open Marketplace on Wetland Governance (A.3.1), which will serve as the main transnational platform for knowledge exchange and policy dialogue in the next reporting period.\nAlthough no WP3 deliverables were formally finalised in PR3, several preparatory actions strengthened GREW’s capitalisation potential. The Ferrara project meeting (May 2025) gathered institutions, technical experts, and practitioners from both Italy and Croatia, showcasing the Wetland Contract as an adaptable governance tool. Croatian partners, including NPB and PI DNC, extended cooperation with local municipalities, schools, and NGOs, building networks that will support replication of the approach at regional level. ANBO and IUAV worked jointly to link GREW results with other EU initiatives on coastal management and climate adaptation, ensuring alignment with the Interreg Italy–Croatia Programme’s thematic priorities.\nIn the next reporting period, capitalisation will progress through three main steps:\n1.\tOrganisation of the Open Marketplace (A.3.1) to present and exchange transferable outputs among wetland managers, policy institutions, and research bodies;\n2.\tPreparation of training and dissemination materials (A.3.2) targeted at regional and local authorities, NGOs, and educational institutions;\n3.\tDrafting of the cross-border Memorandum of Understanding (A.3.3) to formalise post-project cooperation on wetland governance and climate adaptation.\n","Pula, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Barletta, Ferrara, Latisana, Venezia","HR, IT",null,"Hrvatska (HR), Pula, Brijuni, n/a, 52100\nHrvatska (HR), metković, Sites Vid and Prud, n/a, 20350\n",null,null,null,8]

Early activities were primarily focused on organization, coordination, and preparation to ensure that all partners were aligned in both objectives and communication.\n\nThe first online partnership meeting was organized on April 4th 2024, to provide an overview of the project to all partners, discuss about the necessary modifications to insert in the Application Form during the condition clearing phase, and set the date for the kick-off meeting.\n\nAfter the finalization of the condition clearing phase, the partnership signed the Partnership Agreement on May 31st 2024, marking the official commitment of all partners to the project’s goals.\n\nThe project kick-off meeting was organized by the LP and held in Polignano a Mare, Italy, on June 20th and 21st 2024, gathering representatives from all partners (some partners were present in presence, others online due to the impossibility to travel). Kick off meeting included presentation of project partners, in depth analyses of project work packages, detailed activity plan and partner's responsibilities, communication from the assigned Programme Manager, development of project communication and management structure in order to ensure efficient project management and implementation. During the KoM, the PMU and Steering Committee have been established and first decisions about the progress of the project were made.\n\nIt is also important to mention that all PPs started internal procedures for the appointment of the staff and the first tender procedures, in order to guarantee an effective management of the project in accordance with the Programme procedures. PP2 finalized the tender procedure for the technical assistance; PP4 finalized the tender procedures for technical assistance and the expert for scientific supervision of the project, while the tender procedure for the appointment of the FLC has started; PP5 completed two procurement procedures (external expert for financial management and reporting procedures and external expert for overall coordination of communication activities).\n\nRegarding the communication activities, PP6, as Communication Manager, delivered to all PPs poster designs with their respective contact information, and all PPs printed out the poster and displayed it in their own office premises. Also, text with general information about the project was sent to the partnership for posting to their respective official institutional websites. PP6 also finalized the first draft of the Communication strategy, that is attached to this report under Report annexes.\n\nRegarding the technical activities conducted within WP1, PP4, as the leader of WP1, focused on preparing a work plan and establishing the methodology for the entire work package. PP4 proposed a mapping methodology and, in collaboration with PP8, developed a questionnaire for the cultural valorization of craft heritage and artistic practices. More information has been inserted in the Work plan progress.\nDuring the reporting period, significant progress has been made across various aspects of the SOCRAT project.\nThe territorial mapping of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) was carried out by all partners, with some of them finalizing the activity as well as the related deliverable, and others reaching an advanced stage of the analysis. \nIn parallel, the project made strides in building the methodology for the SOCRAT model. PP4 led the development of a comprehensive methodology that accommodates the unique characteristics of each region, ensuring the triangular collaboration between CCIs, artists, and civil society. This methodology will serve as the foundation for Creative Living Labs (WP2).\nPP5 (Region of Istria) also successfully organized a local event/press conference that brought together relevant stakeholders for the analysis part of WP1 and for the upcoming project activities.\nCommunication efforts have been ramped up, with PP6 (TZ Kvarnera) leading the way in promoting the project on social media platforms and the project website, reaching a wide audience and raising awareness about SOCRAT’s goals and activities.\nThe partnership has also maintained strong internal communication and coordination, ensuring alignment of all activities with the project’s objectives. In this regard, a Steering Committee meeting was held online on 18 February 2025, to address the state of the art, the delays in project implementation and the related decision to extend the project timelines.\nIn summary, the project has successfully laid a solid foundation for the upcoming phases, ensuring alignment and integration across all partner activities, while engaging local stakeholders in the development of cultural tourism initiatives.\n\nDuring the reporting period, the SOCRAT project made significant progress across its analytical and preparatory phases, consolidating results from Work Package 1 (WP1) and initiating the groundwork for Work Package 2 (WP2) implementation. The partnership, coordinated by the Lead Partner (LP), successfully aligned efforts through continuous coordination, joint meetings, and a shared commitment to recover from the delays experienced in the earlier stages.\nOne partnership meeting was held - in Opatija (6–7 March 2025) and one partnership and Steering Committee meeting was held in Venice (17–18 June 2025) - where partners jointly reviewed progress, agreed on a revised internal timeline, and adopted corrective measures to ensure coherence across work packages. These meetings marked a key milestone in restoring a coordinated implementation pace and in securing the project’s operational stability.\nUnder WP1, the analytical foundation of the project was completed. All partners finalised their territorial mappings and qualitative participatory analyses, identifying and engaging a wide range of stakeholders across the cultural and creative industries (CCIs), artists, artisans, and civil society organisations (CSOs). The collected data contributed to the development of two major documents coordinated by PP4 and PP8:\n- the SOCRAT Methodology, outlining the framework for triangular collaboration among CCIs, CSOs, and artists;\n- and the SOCRAT Strategy, defining the long-term approach to sustainable and special-interest tourism in the cross-border area.\nThese documents, together with the infographic package (coordinated by PP6), were the result of extensive cooperation, including several consultation rounds and joint validation meetings.\nBuilding upon this analytical groundwork, the project transitioned into the preparatory phase of WP2. The LP developed and shared the Expression of Interest (EoI) template and methodological guidelines for the selection of local participants in the upcoming Creative Living Labs (CLLs). Partners tailored and prepared their local versions of the EoI for publication, while discussions on the cross-border call for international artists/tutors were initiated. PP5 notably progressed by launching its EoI, organising participatory meetings, and starting logistical preparations for the first CLL planned in December 2025. Other partners are finalising their preparatory steps to begin implementation early in the next reporting period.\nIn parallel, the partnership began early planning for WP3, including initial discussions on the project’s digital platform (led by PP7) and on sustainability and dissemination activities. PP2 and other partners contributed feedback to ensure the platform’s usability and alignment with project objectives. Given the overall timeline adjustments, partners also re-evaluated the planned participation in the European Week of Regions and Cities (2025) and will discuss alternative visibility activities with the Joint Secretariat during the Mid-Term Review in the next period.\nIn terms of project management, the LP ensured overall coordination, administrative and financial supervision, and preparation for the Mid-Term Review, while PP6 continued to lead the project’s communication efforts through website and social media updates, a digital newsletter, and promotional materials.\nDespite initial delays, the reporting period marked a turning point for SOCRAT: the partnership delivered the key analytical documents, stabilised its internal coordination, and laid the foundation for the experimental and pilot phase. The added value of the cross-border cooperation lies in the creation of a shared methodological model and in the joint testing framework that brings together diverse territorial, cultural, and institutional perspectives to co-design sustainable and inclusive tourism models across Italy and Croatia.\n","Zadar, Opatija, Pula, Venezia, Bari, Polignano a Mare","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

The project was presented at several congresses (engaging the research community) and three different events were organized to promote the project, highlighting the ecosystemic importance of underwater forests, the need for monitoring, and innovative approaches to monitoring. Among the target groups foreseen were engaged, children (in collaboration with an NGO), undergraduate students, teachers and the general public. All project partners (PPs) published information about the project launch on the official websites of their respective institutions. All deliverables foreseen within this first reporting period were uploaded.\nThe final procedures for recruiting research personnel were completed during the second semester. The consortium has now employed a total of seven young researchers full-time to carry out the thematic activities foreseen by the project. The selection process respected gender balance, with three female and four male researchers, all from STEM fields.\nExternal experts were involved as scheduled, and the selection of the communication expert was also completed. However, due to the formalities required to finalize the procedures, the related expenditures will be covered in the third reporting period (3RP).\nAdditionally, during this period, procurement procedures for most of the thematic equipment necessary for drone development and at-sea testing activities with the sailing lab, as specified in the AF, were finalized. From a financial standpoint, the project has now caught up with the delays initially caused by the formal project start date being significantly later than the nominal one.\nThe launch of these activities also played an important role in team building, which was strengthened through frequent interactions and meetings held both in person and online. A steady and dynamic exchange of emails further helped maintain close collaboration among partners.\nNumerous thematic meetings, both online and in person, took place to support the development of the drone, its equipment, and the software for movement control, as well as for the collection and storage of monitoring data. Several field tests were conducted toward the end of the second period and the beginning of the next one (weather conditions are critical for field activities). These tests aimed to evaluate the drone's performance and identify any challenges related to its use at sea or areas needing improvement. These intensive testing activities fostered positive and constructive team collaboration and helped overcome initial challenges related to the diversity of skill sets involved.\nAt the same time, work is ongoing to build the new drone structure based on PP5's designs. Activities for WP3 have started, while those for WP4 have also partially begun.\nAs planned in the AF, the second project meeting (Steering Committee and General Assembly) was held during this period, organized by PP2 in Ancona (documents uploaded in the annexes), with all PPs attending and presenting the progress of their work. Before this scheduled meeting, an additional official internal meeting was held in hybrid format in December 2024 to review the administrative status of the project and plan activities for the final months of the second semester.\nRegarding project dissemination, nearly all partners organized or participated in events, both in-person and online, reaching various target groups—particularly university and high school students, the general public, regional authorities, and SMEs.\nAll deliverables due for this reporting period have been submitted: PP1, through its engineering and computer science units, and PP5 took the lead in their preparation. However, since the work focuses on observing submerged seagrass meadows, all PPs contributed to the document by providing their expertise.\nProject activities have progressed steadily this semester, focusing on the technological implementation of the autonomous catamaran, named Brigantine. This included its full equipment integration and control system optimization to ensure autonomous navigation and real-time data acquisition. This optimization phase involved rigorous validation in both laboratory settings and frequent sea trials. Subsequently, the core sensor and camera array was successfully transferred to a new, custom-built hull, which was jointly designed and realized by the consortium partners, and its stability with the scientific equipment onboard was confirmed through further testing. Following this optimization, the platform has successfully initiated core project activities, conducting several monitoring and sampling missions in various cross-border project areas during the summer season to assess the health status of submerged meadows. Concurrently, the integrated aquaculture pilot system trial commenced; this study involves placing aquatic plants in contact with effluent from fish fed both traditional and innovative formulations to investigate plant-aquaculture interactions under controlled conditions, monitoring water parameters and the health of both plants and fish, with all protocols now optimized and documented. Dissemination activities were actively pursued through participation in fairs and congresses targeting diverse audiences, supported by the creation of informational materials and gadgets. Analytical work continued in parallel, including the development of a sensor for heavy metal detection. Field activities yielded significant photo/video material, which is being processed into infographics and short informational videos to communicate the project's work and the ecosystem's importance. The website was regularly updated with events and news, and the CM and the external expert participated in extensive meetings organized by the JS, which were dedicated to communication aspects.  This period also included the mid-term review, and all Italian Project Partners underwent first-level control visits, which concluded without identifying any critical issues, confirming the project is administratively sound and financially aligned with projections. While no formal deliverables or the attainment of Result Indicator RCR85_1.1 (Participations in joint actions across borders after project completion) were foreseen for this semester, all activities aiming to fulfill these future objectives have started and are ongoing. In conclusion, the main achievement of this period is the successful finalization, validation, and deployment of the project's primary data collection tool—the autonomous catamaran integrated onto its custom-built consortium hull—and the subsequent commencement of core scientific monitoring campaigns.","Zagreb, Venezia, Rovinj, Ancona, UDINE","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},6]
["ITHR0200479","Subsurface WAter monitoring and Management to prevent drought risk in coastal systems","Climate changes induced droughts are relevant, up to date problems, affecting overcrowded, tourism oriented coastal areas at the Adriatic Sea. Sustainable agriculture in coastal areas relies on the assumption availability of water of appropriate quality which is identified as a high demanding challenge. Due to the climate induced changes primarily identified in: i) sea-level rise, ii) absence of precipitation iii) increase in air temperature, iv) changes in natural Hydrological regimes and v) changes of Adriatic Sea thermohaline properties, sustainable water management in coastal ecosystems becomes even more challenging. Relying on the climate change predictions and forecasting, reduction of available water quality and quantity emphasize the need for additional effort to be given to climate change awareness and adaptation as well as improvements in resilience of coastal ecosystems to climate change impacts which is the SWAMrisk overall- objective. \nSWAMrisk selected two study coastal areas (1 IT; 1 CR) located between the Venice Lagoon and Po River delta in Italy, and the Neretva River delta in Croatia. These areas are particularly sensitive to the climate change, especially by droughts and saltwater intrusion. SWAMrisk outputs are based on the systematic WP definition and cover for: i) “Hydro-cloud” database, which provides comprehensive data of two project sites, and represents a best practice and novel approach to make data available to broad interest groups and research institutions; ii) novel risk assessment approaches will be established based on comprehensive in situ investigations and modelling activities at the coastal system scale; iii) adaptation plans for climate change droughts; Short-term plans cover guidelines and technical rules for the operational water. Long-term plans cover climate change effects, water demand projections, projections of available groundwater from the subsurface on and offshore and guidelines for its exploitation and use.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

["ITHR0200370","CROSS-BORDER INTEGRATED STRATEGY TO REDUCE BIODIVERSITY LOSS DUE TO ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURES ALONG ADRIATIC COAST","BIOPRESSADRIA rationale develops from the chain reaction that is triggered by the loss of coastal biodiversity especially in terms of marine seagrass meadows degradation, due to beach-based and nautical tourism pressures. The ecosystem value represented by the meadows is huge and nowadays concerns direct and indirect economic effects.\nThe project targets endangered marine habitats, mainly Posidonia oceanica and other marine seagrasses meadows which undoubtedly represent a key element of the coastal quality, in terms of enhancement of biodiversity, self-purification capacity, morphological defense action, storage of carbon, and finally, ecosystem services. At the same time, they show evident stress and retreat as a consequence of growing uses of the coast, nautical traffic and anchoring, excess mooring.\nThe objective consists in testing and putting into practice a common cross-border strategy to achieve a toolbox of conceptual and practical solutions aimed to reduce impacts of beach and nautical tourism on coastal biodiversity, declined through a series of actions including rapid monitoring and assessment of site quality and pressures, engagement of a large stakeholder network including public managers, building capacities, raising awareness of public, actively mitigate habitat disturbance working on mooring and spatial planning to support decision makers.\nDespite existing knowledge, there is still a lack of proposals and methods to implement concrete local protective actions to solve the described specific issues. BIOPRESSADRIA intends to systematize a strategy, setting up a toolbox of different common Adriatic solutions, with the aim to set up a local coastal protection strategy, but with a cross-border wide and up-scalable conceptual procedural model, as assured by the uniqueness of the problems described at Sea level, by the intense crossing of the stakeholder engagement and training activity and by the cross model of joint biodiversity protection and restoration.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

During the kick-off meeting on 11.04.2024, each partner presented their own organization and role within the project. This was followed by a joint presentation of the project activities, aligned with the project implementation timeline, given by the WP leaders. The KOM also included detailed presentations on reporting and communication procedures, delivered respectively by the financial and communication managers.. \n\n2.Project external publicity: Information about the project was published on partners' website and social networks. Project posters were dispayed at the partners premises. Some partners put in place additional initiatives to promote the project. The Municipality of Monfalcone organised a press conference after the kick-off meeting to present the BIOPRESSADRIA project to the local press, with the presence of the mayor. The LP, with the BIOPRESSADRIA project manager, presented the project on 12.08.2024 in a roundtable organised in Monfalcone by NGO Legambiente entitled \"effects of the climate crisis on Mediterranean coasts\" with local experts. In June PP4 Corila presented the BIOPRESSADRIA project at the Venice boat show.  \n\nSeveral articles were written on the project. Some partners liaised with the local press to report the news on the launch of the project. The LP liaised with the main newspaper of Friuli Venezia Giulia, which reported the news of the launch of BIOPRESSADRIA (il Piccolo, il Goriziano, Il Friuli to name a few). PP5 - MPA Porto Cesareo liaised with corriere salentino and Lecce news 24 to name a few. Some partners used the website to write articles on the project. PP2 Sunce wrote a total of 5 articles (one of which is a project description), reaching a total of 335 people.\n\nThe project was also promoted on social media. Some partners reached very good results. The two posts on FB made by the LP, of the KOM and the repositioning of ecobuoys respectively, reached ....people. The 8 posts on several social networks made by PP2 SUNCE with a reach of 2157 people. PP4 - Corila also widely contributed to the project promotion through social media. SELC made promotion on Facebook.\n\n3.Project governance: the partnership approved the rules of the Steering Committee concerning its role, composition, vote and meeting. The PMT - Project Management Team, made of the project manager, the financial manager and the communication manager, was appointed. In the following weeks, all PPs nominated their own PMT.  A communication group was also set up. \n\n4.Project scope: the scope of the 5 pilot sites, not clear when the project was written, was clarified. The pilot sites are Panzano Bay (LP), MPA Porto Cesareo (PP5) , Kornati National park (PP6), Badjia and the islands around Kurcola (PP7) and Pakleni islands (PP8).   \n\n5. Project communication: the BIOPRESSADRIA communication group was set up, the communication group drafted the communication strategy. Communication templates were provided to partners; The BIOPRESSADRIA website is now fully operational; 3 social media accounts of the project were open: LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. The LP circulated the layout of the roll-up and prepared project infographics. \n\n6.Launch of first call for tenders (public procurement). The LP launched in July the call for tenders on the public procurement platform of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region in order to select the FLC (selection concluded at the beginning of September).  PP4 Corila conducted a public tender process to select the company responsible for bioacoustic monitoring, aimed at quantifying the biomass of marine organisms at the mooring fields in the two pilot sites—Kornati Islands (Croatia) and Panzano Bay (Monfalcone, Italy). PP5 also prepared and launched the procedure for identifying the external services and expertise, as well as for the identification of the project's first-level controller. \nIn Period 2 the BIOPRESSADRIA partnership intensified cooperation and made good progress in particular in the activities of WP1 and WP2. \n\n1. Progress in WP 1 \n\nMain progresses focussed on activity 1.1 Pilot areas characterization and pressures monitoring development. All pilot sites submitted their first draft site characterization reports to WP1 leader SUNCE. These contributions will feed deliverable D.1.1.2. As part of the pilot areas characterization and pressures monitoring development, some partners already engaged in field work (PP3 and PP4 in LP pilot site - Panzano bay - and in PP6 pilot site, in Kornati NP).  Progress was also made by partners in public procurement for monitoring boat pressures in their pilot sites. \n\nProgress were made in developing a stakeholder engagement methodology (activity 1.2) and in stakeholder event organisation (activity 1.3).  WP1 Leader  SUNCE elaborated, and circulated among partners, a first draft document “Methodology of the cross-border stakeholders’ engagement” along with supporting documents. In parallel, WP1 leader SUNCE elaborated, and circulated to partners,  a \"template for compiling technical reports from stakeholder engagement events\" that partners already started using for their stakeholder events. Some pilot sites disseminated a multilingual questionnaire for stakeholders, developed by PP4 Corila, aimed at understanding how stakeholders perceive the importance of seagrass meadows and the ecosystem services they provide. \n\n2 pilot sites out of 5 pilot sites have already held local stakeholder events in period 2 (activity 1.3): PP5 and PP8. Other pilot sites (LP - Municipality of Monfalcone, PP6 Kornati NP and PP7 PIDNC) will hold stakeholder events in period 3.  In Period 2, deliverable 1.3.2 has been achieved, in line with project timeline. \n\n2. Progress in WP2. \n\nIn a constructive collective effort, in period 2 all pilot sites submitted their plans for the implementation of pilot actions (Deliverable D.2.1.1) together with the report about the preparation and organization of the implementation of their pilot actions (Deliverable D.2.1.2). As a result, deliverables of both D 2.1.1 Report on the plans for implementation of pilot actions  and D 2.1.2 Planning report for pilot actions preliminary activities were achieved as per project timeline. \n\nPilot actions vary from partner to partner. Several pilot sites plan to engage in testing and applying spatial zoning as a tool to monitor leisure boating density and anchoring impacts (pilot action type 1).\n\nRE the implementation of pilot actions (pilot action type 2), some partners plan to install new buoy fields (PP6), others prefer to improve the existing buoy field (LP), others want to conduct feasibility studies for the installation of a buoy field in the future (PP8). One pilot site plans to intervene on the coast and restore habitats (PP5).  \n\nDuring period 2 WP2 leader SELC provided support and guidance for the preparation of the pilot actions plans. The guidelines circulated to the partners in December 2024 were fundamental to stimulate discussions and generate decisions accordingly. WP1 leader Sunce supported the development of cross-border plans of Croatian pilot actions.\n\n3. Initial progress in WP3.\n\nPP4 CORILA, responsible for the training design, collaborated with PP2 SELC and the external experts UNIVE to advance the design of training sessions aimed at strengthening skills and knowledge in habitat conservation (activity 3.1). Although the final content has not yet been defined, preliminary coordination led to the drafting of a proposed structure for the training programme.\n\nIn period 2 some partners presented BIOPRESSADRIA in external events. \n\nThe LP organised the participation of BIOPRESSADRIA in the 2024 Barcolana Village.  The Municipality of Monfalcone rented a booth which was equipped with posters and videos about the project. BIOPRESSADRIA partners were also present. Barcolana Village is  an international event very popular among the boating and sailing community so it was crucial to spread awareness about the high ecosystemic value of Posidonia and other type of seagrasses, the danger posed by unregulated anchoring and the need to use sustainable solutions, where available, like mooring on eco-friendly buoys. \n\nIn November 2024, PP3 SELC attended the Interreg Italy-Slovenjia ECO2SMART workshop and gave a presentation about BIOPRESSADRIA thereby creating synerigies between projects. \n\nIn Period 2 several partners' meeting were organised: 10 October 2024 , 11 November 2024 , 16 December 2024, 30 January 2025 and 26 February 2025. The Steering Committee was held on 10 Oct. 2024 in presence in Monfalcone. All partners attended.\n\n The LP  provided regular support to WP1 and WP2 leaders in stimulating contributions from other partners.\n\nThe LP coordinated communication among partners and submitted the communication strategy and the editorial plan to the Joint Secretariat in December 2024.\n\nDuring the third reporting period, BIOPRESSADRIA made substantial progress across all Work Packages, moving from preparatory and analytical activities to implementation and pilot testing. The partnership – coordinated by the Municipality of Monfalcone as Lead Partner and supported by a strong network of public authorities, scientific organisations and NGOs – worked cohesively to strengthen the joint monitoring, mitigation and management of nautical and recreational tourism pressures on coastal habitats in the Adriatic area.\nScientific and technical progress (WP1 and WP2)\nMonitoring activities continued in all pilot areas (Panzano Bay, Kornati National Park, Hvar–Pakleni Islands, Badija and Dubrovnik areas), with field campaigns focusing on mapping seagrass meadows, assessing the state of Posidonia beds and analysing boating-related pressures. In Monfalcone (Panzano Bay), the second campaign of seagrass and bioacoustic monitoring was carried out, complemented by the use of satellite imagery to evaluate boat density, along with field surveys aimed at detecting any anchoring-related damage to the seagrass meadows.\nThe Croatian partners (Sunce and Sea & Karst) jointly contributed to harmonising monitoring methodologies and validating cross-border protocols. The partnership finalised and shared the Methodology for cross-border stakeholder engagement and Local stakeholder event reports, consolidating comparable approaches across the Italian and Croatian coasts.\nUnder WP2, concrete pilot actions for habitat protection were implemented. In Monfalcone, the eco-friendly buoy field – originally developed within the SASPAS project – was maintained and upgraded, and administrative procedures were launched to allow its operation throughout the year. In Kornati National Park, the installation of 19 boat mooring buoys in the pilot areas (Anica Bay and Lojena Bay) has been completed, and monitoring of mooring impacts has started.\nOther pilot sites, such as Hvar–Pakleni and Dubrovnik, hosted awareness and engagement events to gather feedback on sustainable nautical practices.\nStakeholder engagement and communication\nAcross all pilot sites, numerous stakeholder events were organised to foster dialogue among local authorities, fishermen, marina operators, nautical associations and environmental NGOs. On the Croatian side the major milestones has been represented by a) the stakeholder meeting held in Hvar focused on the presentation of the analysis of nautical tourism pressures in the waters of the Pakleni Islands b) the participation of BIOPRESSADRIA at the 17th edition of the Croatia Nautic  Show 2025 in Marina Kaštela (from 3rd to 5th of April 2025) c) the audiovisual communication event in Hvar (29 August 2025). On the Italian side the major milestones has been the stakeholder meeting in Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area (26 June 2025) and the Monfalcone event “The buoy field for the protection of the marine ecosystem in Panzano Bay” (11 July 2025). During the meetings and the events hundreds of participants has been involved generating strong media coverage. Overall, partners reported extensive outreach: thousands of citizens were reached through social media campaigns, news portals, and direct dissemination of brochures, infographics and videos highlighting seagrass protection and responsible anchoring.\nCapacity building and cooperation added value (WP3)\nPreparation of joint training programmes advanced, with stakeholders consulted on preferred topics during local events. The draft training design was presented in the Steering Committee meeting in Hvar, setting the basis for implementation in the next periods. These activities fostered cross-border learning between Italy and Croatia, encouraging exchange of good practices between coastal municipalities, scientific institutions and marine park managers.\nManagement and coordination\nRegular monthly partner meetings and one Steering Committee meeting (Hvar, August 2025) ensured smooth coordination. The newly appointed Communication Manager (LP) reinforced the project’s visual identity and coherence of outputs across partners. Despite minor administrative delays, the project remains fully on track, with high partner engagement and expenditure levels almost aligned with the forecasted financial plan.\nAdded value of cooperation\nThe results achieved demonstrate the strong added value of cross border cooperation: the joint definition of methodologies and pilot actions allows partners to address shared environmental challenges of nautical tourism through coordinated monitoring, harmonised management tools and joint communication strategies. This combination of scientific research, local governance and stakeholder engagement is fostering an integrated Adriatic-wide approach to protect coastal and marine habitats.","Split, Dubrovnik, Murter, Porto Cesareo, Venezia, Marghera - Venezia, Monfalcone","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]
["ITHR0400291","Strategic Framework for Entrepreneurship in Rural Areas","SFERA project aims to overcome the cross-border legal and administrative obstacles and improve the institutional and strategic capacities of public authorities and stakeholders in the Programme area. The overall objective of SFERA is to promote an integrated governance model that fosters stronger cooperation among stakeholders. By adopting an integrated approach, the project partners aim to create a supportive ecosystem that goes beyond just providing funding or infrastructure, and that recognizes the complexity and multi-dimensionality of entrepreneurship.\nThe expected change that SFERA will bring to the current situation is twofold. First, the project aims to contribute to an increase in the number of organizations that cooperate across borders. Second, the project aims to alleviate legal or administrative obstacles across borders, developing a white paper with policy recommendations and identifying best practices and models for the promotion of rural entrepreneurship.\nThe project will produce two main outputs: a participatory governance model based on engagement of a wide range of stakeholders ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes, and a cross border network to increase business opportunities.\nSMEs represent \n\n99.9% of total number of enterprises in Italy and \n\n99.7% in Croatia. Italian and Croatian SMEs, especially in rural areas, face several obstacles to emerging in the thick jungle of bureaucracy and unleashing their innovative capacity.\nThis is why a cross-border approach is needed: a higher level of cooperation between SME could enhance their competitiveness and their innovation capacities.\nThe innovative approach of SFERA project represents a unique opportunity to promote rural entrepreneurship and cross-border cooperation in the program area, by fostering a more integrated and collaborative approach to governance and by building networks and partnerships that will drive innovation, growth and social cohesion in rural areas across borders.","2023-07-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_5) Integrated governance for stronger cooperation","ISO6.6.

Imagine small businesses in these beautiful, yet often overlooked, areas facing similar hurdles – slow growth, difficulty reaching customers, and not enough support. These problems are made worse by being far from big cities, lacking training opportunities, and local businesses not working together effectively. But these rural areas also have hidden strengths: unique local knowledge, beautiful natural resources, and rich cultural traditions, which often go untapped. The SFERA project tackled a key issue: the lack of connection between the small rural businesses, the local governments, and the organizations meant to help them grow. It was like everyone was working in their own bubble. Small business owners weren't really involved in making decisions that affected them, and they missed out on valuable connections that could help them expand, learn from others, and share good ideas.\nThe main achievement of SFERA was creating new ways for these different groups to work together. First, the project developed a clear plan, like a roadmap, for collaboration. This participatory governance model gave everyone – businesses, authorities, and support organizations – specific roles and suggestions on how they could contribute to making rural businesses thrive. By creating a platform for regular communication and teamwork, SFERA aimed to make sure that the voices and needs of rural entrepreneurs are heard when new rules and support programs are created. Second, SFERA built a bridge across the Adriatic Sea – a network connecting people and opportunities. Through events like a big cross-border forum, workshops, training for local leaders, and two public open days, the project made it easy to share knowledge, explore joint business ideas, and learn what works best in each country. During the open days, entrepreneurs from Italy and Croatia met face-to-face, discovered successful ideas from the other side of the sea, and figured out how to adapt them to their own businesses.\nMaking these solutions happen required everyone to work closely together. Each project partner brought their unique knowledge to the table, ensuring the solutions fit the specific needs of Puglia and Lika. For example, local authorities shared their understanding of how the regions are run, while business support organizations explained the real challenges faced by rural entrepreneurs. The cross-border forum was crucial, allowing everyone to discuss and improve the project's recommendations, making them even more practical and effective.\nThe benefits of the cooperation were clear. By sharing knowledge and working together across borders, the partners could overcome problems that would have been impossible to solve alone. The project also helped build trust and understanding between different groups, creating a shared commitment to the future of rural businesses. For the project partners, SFERA was a chance to expand their networks, learn about each other's regions, and become better at supporting local businesses by sharing successful ideas. Rural entrepreneurs themselves gained by connecting with peers facing similar challenges, learning new approaches, and building valuable relationships. Local leaders also benefited from training and discussions on how to best support their rural areas. And the impact didn't stop there – all the information and research from the project has been shared widely through podcasts, social media, and the project website, reaching an even wider audience.\nLooking to the future, the SFERA partners and key local players are committed to keeping this work going. Thanks to formal agreements (Letters of Intent), the project's recommendations for boosting rural entrepreneurship will be promoted when new regional policies are made. Plus, the cross-border network will continue to connect people and opportunities, with partners actively looking for ways to keep it running and expand its impact. They will continue to be a go-to source of information for rural businesses, offering ongoing support and linking them to new possibilities.\nWhile SFERA has achieved a lot, it has also opened doors for even more growth. The success of the cross-border network shows that working together can be powerful. This could lead to including other rural areas in Europe in the future, expanding the project's reach and helping even more rural businesses thrive in today's global economy.","Gospic, BARI","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},2]
["ITHR0400285","Co-creatiOn of inclusive sustainable tourisM itiNeraries and packages from coastal to Inner areaS","OMNIS is a project based on transnational cooperation between Italy and Croatia to increase sustainable and territorially balanced tourism in the coastal and inner areas of Italy and Croatia and assure inclusive access to tourism resources for vulnerable people. The project wants to encourage the discovery of inland areas, with limited tourist flows, through the development of more sustainable and inclusive tourist products (itineraries and packages) promoted by a collaboration between coastal and inner areas tourism stakeholders and focusing on a particular target of tourists composed of people who travel with their dog for leisure and visually impaired people, who travel with their dog for necessity. \n\nThe project’s outputs are: \n-8 itineraries and 16 packages following 10 sustainability trends for pet-friendly tourists and blind and visually impaired people; \n-An online training course about the creation of sustainable and inclusive itineraries and packages (contributing to the upskilling of local interdependent professionals, creating future jobs opportunity and stemming depopulation) for tourism stakeholders and young people of high schools and universities; \n-An online accessible platform to distribute the itineraries and packages, built following the criteria of digital accessibility, that will contain both the training course for tourism stakeholders and young people of high school and universities and the itineraries and packages for tourists that travel with pets especially guides dogs; \n-A cross-border OMNIS brand for inclusive and sustainable tourism itineraries and packages; \n-A virtual community of tourism stakeholders to exchange ideas and good practices on accessibility and sustainability beyond the project end date. \n\nThe OMNIS approach can be replicated and scaled up within the Adriatic-Ionian Macro Region, bringing benefits by reducing the environmental and social impact on the coastal areas (due to the strong seasonality shared by sea towns) and by enhancing an accessible tourism development for inland areas. Furthermore, the OMNIS approach can be later reproduced to develop tourist products for other targets and niches such as the elderly, and people with other disabilities thus fostering sustainable, quality-minded flows. \n\nThe original elements brought by the projects are: \n-its capacity to operate on a sensitive and growing market niche (people travelling with dogs for leisure or necessity); \n-its capacity to encourage direct collaboration among operators from coastal and inner areas of the two member states, to facilitate the involvement of these areas in the touristic flows and create new opportunities; \n-the direct involvement of the stakeholders and local communities in the co-creation of the touristic products, \n-a combination of inclusion, sustainability and cooperation to guarantee access for vulnerable people to tourism and at the same time foster economic growth in the interested areas.","2023-07-01","2024-12-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

In most of Italy and Croatia, tourism remains focused on the coast, with the interior zones under-touristed and off the beaten path. Meanwhile, most of what is available is not accessible for people with vision impairment, nor for those traveling with canines, such as guide dogs. Simple things—such as making a weekend break reservation—become difficult or even out of the question for them.\n\nOMNIS addressed this challenge with a powerful message: inclusion is not a nicety, but rather a fundamental part of responsible and sustainable tourism. The project aimed to prove that it is possible to build a more inclusive system—though it also revealed just how much work still needs to be done. Raising the accessibility of tourists doesn't just require ideas, but action—and a strong commitment to cooperation from public institutions and the private sector.\n\nTo fulfill these objectives, OMNIS constructed a series of practical, interconnected tools. In the first instance, it delivered a series of training sessions, as podcasts and videos, to help tourist operators improve the welcome and care of visitors with special needs Second,it advocated the co-design of accessible tourist services, with and for the visually impaired and for tourists traveling with dogs. Third,  it created a multilingual, fully accessible web platform (OT 2.1), on which individuals can access training materials, useful connections, and become part of a larger community. Finally, the OMNIS brand (OT 2.2) and online stakeholder community (OT 2.3) were created to carry the conversation forward—bringing people together, exchanging ideas, and inspiring action.\n\nIt was the individuals that made OMNIS special. Real voices were brought center stage for the project. From the start, local organizations of the visually impaired and the blind of Split and Pesaro-Urbino, and TripDoggy, a travel specialist voice for people with dogs, were at the forefront. Their experience, expertise, and insights shaped the materials, brought the content alive, and helped make sure that what was being produced would work on the ground.\n\nCrossing borders was also a strength. Italian and Croatian partners brought diverse—though perfectly complementary—perspectives. Together, they co-designed adaptable, culturally sensitive tools, and new ways of collaborating that will last beyond the project. For some, OMNIS was not just a project, but a learning experience: the opportunity to grow, to innovate, and to forge long-term professional connections. The impact was real. In the two zones, OMNIS opened the eyes of the local tourist operators to the potential—and value—of inclusive tourism. Some already started rethinking their services with new eyes. And for those usually outside the discussion—blind visitors, pet owners—the project opened up new horizons and made the invisible, visible.\n\nDurability was never secondary, but a guiding principle of OMNIS. The training content remains free on YouTube and Spotify. The project site, hosted by LP1 CNMU, will be online for five years, with access to best practices, training materials, and the potential for joining the network and sharing ideas. The OMNIS WhatsApp Community will continue as a hub for connecting the world of tourism, public institutions, and civil society organizations, with a simple yet effective platform for connecting and collaborating. The branding materials, also free, can be easily reused for future activities.\n\nThe partners convened for a final Steering Committee, not a goodbye, but a look ahead. They brainstormed potential future collaborations: targeting new niche markets like people with celiac disease or the deaf community, expanding and diversifying the services being provided, and targeting more inner neighborhoods and cultural accessibility. Some of the partners suggested adding technologies like augmented reality or AI for further accessibility, and others suggested targeting a specific audience for maximum effect. Finally, OMNIS proved that inclusive tourism is not just possible—it is necessary. It is a social innovation mechanism, a path toward balance for the territory, and long-term sustainability. The project's story doesn't end here. Its tools, community, and vision will continue to assist travelers with special needs, and inspire those who believe that tourism can be for everyone.","Split, Venezia - Venice, Cagli","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},3]
["ITHR0200487","Cross-border ICT Strategies for freight rail and port logistic integration, optimization, sustainability and security","The Italian and Croatian ports of the Adriatic, as key nodes of the regional logistic chain, have seen, in recent years, an exponential increase in the intermodal traffic linking the Adriatic ports to their hinterland through railway connections. However, this led to a gradual loss of efficiency which is mainly due to the multiplicity of stakeholders operating within the port area, which makes the integration between port operations, shunting and the last rail mile processes difficult to achieve. Last-mile operations, (within the port and in inland rail nodes close to ports), are in fact a critical element for the efficiency and competitiveness of rail services and consequently of the entire port-related multimodal traffic.\nTaking into consideration the results achieved by previous projects and the outputs produced, CROSSFREIGHT aims at testing and exploit digital ICT tools in a new, comprehensive project that will create common strategies to widen the field of intervention on intermodality in both countries.\nCROSSFREIGHT will tackle the identified Programme's common challenges with the strategic objective to improve the intermodal connection between logistic nodes in the regional hinterland and their reference ports located along the TEN-T networks:\n-\toptimizing port to inland nodes' rail connections and port-related rail last-mile processes \n-\timplementing innovative ICT tools for railway efficiency in 7 rail nodes linked to port areas\n-\tboosting cross-border strategies for regional and cross-regional rail freight transport through a transferability approach between these 7 nodes and others and\n-\tfinally achieving logistics improved accessibility to port areas and better environmental performances at a regional level. \n\nAll of these specific objectives will be supported by a set of communication and dissemination tools and with regular interaction with a large stakeholder’s platform at different levels: port and node level, TEN-T corridor level, national and macroregional level and EU level.\n \nThe main output will be at least 7 modernized intermodal connections (RCO54), 7 pilot actions developed jointly and implemented in projects (RCO84), and 1 strategic action plan jointly developed (RCO 83). \nAs an overall result, CROSSFREIGHT will deliver at least 12 solutions taken up or upscaled by organizations (RCR 104) and 1 joint strategy and action plan that will be taken up by at least 5 organizations during the project and at least other 10 in the next 3 years (RCR 79).\n\nCROSSFREIGHT is a 24 months project, that engages 8 key partners in the port and rail domains, 4 from Italy and 4 from Croatia, representing all the needed expertise to successfully reach the project outcomes and results.","2024-04-01","2026-03-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

During the meeting, the ongoing communication and management activities, and relevant tasks, have been presented, including the project reporting procedures and deadlines for the first reporting period. \nThroughout the period, the LP supported the partners in administrative and financial issues, providing clarifications on Programme rules and requirements. All Italian partners obtained the CUP (Codice Unico di Progetto) and started the procurement procedures to appoint the first level controller. Due to delay in the finalisation of the Subsidy Contract, Some partners couldn’t appoint the FLC before the end of the period; however, all managed to have the FLC assigned before the reporting deadline, except for PP4 ERF.\nRegarding Communication, the CM (Logoteam) accomplished all the required activities, using the project tool kit provided by the Programme, preparing templates and providing the information for the project website. The Project’s poster (A3 format) has been prepared, shared, and exposed by each partner at their premises. A Crossfreight social media account on the LinkedIn platform has been published and a first Roll-up prepared. The first version of the communication strategy has been drafted. All partners published news about the project through websites and social media channels.\nRegarding the technical aspects, the activities of WP1 have been launched under the overall coordination of the LP. In particular, A1.1 \"AS-IS analysis of the processes used for rail shunting management in intermodal and port nodes\" (the only one planned to start in P1), led by PP5 Logoteam, has actively progressed. The methodology for the development of the AS IS analysis has been developed by Logoteam, with the contribution of LP ITL, PP2 Adriafer and PP3 AIN, and distributed to pilot partners to collect information and data about the state of the art of rail shunting operations in the specific nodes addressed by CROSSFREIGHT. The document will serve as basis for D1.1.1 “CROSSFREIGHT Railway Business Process and ICT tools AS IS”, due in P2. PP2 Adriafer (for the node Port of Trieste), PP7 LUS (Port of Šibenik) and PP8 Transagent (Brajdica Container Terminal, Rijeka Brajdica railway station) already finalised the analyses, while LP ITL (responsible for the analysis on the rail terminal in the Port of Ravenna, AP of ITL), PP4 ERF (Marghera rail node) and PP6 Sangritana (Fossacesia-Val di Sangro rail node) are still working on them, being confident to meet the planned deadline (December 2024).\nAO2 - Port of Ravenna Authority (site of the pilot led by ITL), has been involved by LP for the AS-IS analysis (in A1.1) and for planning next pilot activities.  and for ensuring their engagement in the overall project implementation. ITL also involved AO2 - Emilia-Romagna Region from the project start-up, to getting input and feedback and ensuring their engagement.\nDuring Period 2, the CROSSFREIGHT project achieved substantial progress toward its overall objective of enhancing the efficiency, coordination, and digitalisation of shunting operations in intermodal nodes. The work laid a strong foundation for the upcoming implementation of pilot actions and the development of strategic outputs.\nThe first key milestone was the completion of the AS-IS analysis of rail shunting management processes. This provided a detailed mapping of current operational practices, identified bottlenecks, and revealed critical gaps in coordination, safety, and digital integration across the involved nodes. This effort enabled a shared understanding of existing workflows and challenges, which was crucial for building the next stages of the project. In parallel, a benchmarking study of ICT tools available on the market for shunting process management offered a structured overview of technological solutions already in use or emerging, guiding future investment decisions and supporting the definition of interoperable solutions for each node.\nBuilding on these findings, the project advanced into the TO-BE analysis phase. Future scenarios for optimised shunting operations were defined, including innovative and ICT- workflows that aim to increase efficiency, safety, and sustainability. A common methodology and shared system architecture were developed to ensure harmonisation across pilot actions and to support data integration and replicability. These elements are central to the project’s strategy of delivering scalable and transferable improvement models for shunting operations and port-inland terminals connections.\nThe planning phase for the Field Operational Tests (FOTs) also progressed significantly. A project-specific methodology was designed to guide the pilots through three structured phases: Planning, Execution, and Evaluation. This approach not only ensures a consistent framework for testing and assessment but also integrates safety, performance, and impact dimensions. Pilot partners started preparatory technical and administrative activities, with attention to aligning local conditions with the overall strategic framework of CROSSFREIGHT.\nWork carried out in Period 2, despite an initial delay, was fundamental for ensuring a strong alignment between AS-IS and TO-BE analyses and that all components of the project are methodologically coordinated and operationally ready for the implementation of pilots in the upcoming period.\nAt the same time, the project began laying the conditions for the transferability and the long-term exploitation of results, with activities including early-stage networking, and stakeholder engagement.\nA key moment of period 2 was the General Assembly held in Rijeka in March 2025, that served for strategic discussion on the TO-BE scenarios and the future direction of pilot implementation, reinforcing the collaborative dimension of CROSSFREIGHT. All Partners and the Port Authority of Ravenna (AO1) participated in the meeting. It included also a cross-fertilisation session with projects such as CRESPORT, TRANSPONEXT, and AUTOSUP, highlighting the added value of working in synergy across EU initiatives.\nThe cooperation among project partners has enabled an integrated approach, combining technical, institutional, and operational perspectives across different contexts. This has not only enhanced the quality of the work delivered but also ensured that the project’s outputs are relevant, applicable, and ready for transfer to other nodes and regions.\nThe results so far are enabling the smooth progression into Period 3, when pilot execution will begin, and the strategy for long-term impact and replication will be fully deployed.\nIn conclusion, the partners achieved significant progress towards the specific objective of WP1: the initial goal of describing the shunting operation processes in the current situation (AS IS) has been fully achieved. This accomplishment has enabled the subsequent activity aimed at defining how to improve processes (TO BE scenarios), leading towards the complete achievement of supporting a more coordinated sea-land approach among port stakeholders, expected in period 3. Specific objectives of WP2 and WP3 will only be fully achieved in period 4, but progress has been made: in WP2, the Field Operation Tests Plan (A2.1) has been launched, based on the AS IS analysis and structuring the three stages (Planning, Execution, and Evaluation) of the seven pilots of ICT solutions that will enhance the local rail networks. In WP3, the specific objective of assessing the transferability of the piloted solutions to other nodes has been initiated through activities aimed at cross-fertilisation and engaging target stakeholder groups to subsequently transfer the CROSSFREIGHT solutions.","Rijeka, Šibenik, Lanciano, Venice, Zagreb, Trieste, Bologna","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]

["ITHR0200330","ALIgning Efforts to control Non-indigenous species in the Adriatic sea","Non-indigenous species (NIS) are one of the greatest biological worldwide issues and the second most common cause of species extinctions. They can cause ecological and economic impacts through habitat modification and biodiversity loss, with subsequent impacts on ecosystem functioning. \nThe Adriatic Sea represents one of the areas of the Mediterranean where the most important fishing, tourism, maritime traffic from all over the world coexist. By the intensification of these maritime activities, the Adriatic Sea could become one of the most impacted areas from the introduction of NIS. \n\nThe project aims to build up a common knowledge and joint monitoring system to enhance biodiversity protection against NIS species, starting from the identification of target NIS which could represent a threat to local marine ecosystems, also affecting socio-economic activities. Joint Monitoring and modelling activities on target NIS will finally aim to develop solutions for early warning, useful for managing marine areas, protecting biodiversity and public health, and for providing additional tools for decision makers. It is expected that the project encourages the improvement of shared protocols for NIS detection, monitoring and management jointly developed, and also foresees the enhancement of the sensibility of stakeholders regarding NIS.\n\nThrough the outputs of the project, there are four Pilot observing campaigns set-up and carried out implementing both conventional and innovative methodologies, thus allowing to increase the technical skills of partners and acquiring new and valuable data on the ecosystem.\nA set of jointly developed solutions will provide indications and suggestions for the set-up and running of similar campaigns of monitoring and modelling, thus stimulating the dissemination of knowledge and good practices and enabling the replication of experiences and results in other contexts and to other organisations. Results from monitoring and modelling activities will be summarised in a jointly organised Summer School. An early warning protocol for different target NIS will be developed by project partners and diffusely tested during pilot activities. \nFrom the communication point of view, a transnational event will be jointly organised by partners around M18, presenting first key activities, outputs and achievements to stakeholders. Moreover, a series of other physical and on-line workshops, events at local level and a final public event will be organised.\n\nA cross-border approach for target NIS management, sharing data and harmonising monitoring procedures through the acquisition of innovative instruments, will improve the knowledge ground and the efficacy of public policies concerning the protection of biodiversity. The cross-border approach is necessary to elaborate a joint methodology and sustain an efficient monitoring of NIS, particularly for those species not yet monitored in some pilot areas.\nTo foster active cooperation and responsible behaviours, citizen science will also be used, sharing technologies for monitoring NIS that could be used both by the local population and by foreigners.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

This initial phase was marked by strong collaboration among the seven project partners, with each contributing to key milestones in research, coordination, and communication.\nOne of the primary objectives reached was the formal establishment of the partnership. The partnership agreement was signed in May 2024. Teams were organized within each partner institution, creating a solid framework for smooth and efficient cooperation. Another significant step was the successful organization of the project’s Kick-off Meeting and the first Steering Committee meeting, both of which took place in May 2024 in Bari. These meetings allowed the partners to fine-tune project objectives, timelines, and roles, ensuring that all participants were aligned from the outset.\nA major achievement during this phase was the development of a comprehensive Communication Strategy. This strategy defines how the project will engage with the public, stakeholders, and policymakers, playing a key role in raising awareness about the project’s goals. Additionally, the project’s social media presence was launched with accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, helping to enhance visibility and keep various audiences informed of project activities.\nIn terms of technical outputs, one of the most significant accomplishments was the creation of a database cataloging the non-indigenous species present in the Adriatic Sea. This database includes vital information on the characteristics, distribution, and potential risks of these species, forming the foundation for future monitoring and management activities. Furthermore, detailed reports on the project’s pilot areas were completed, providing critical insights into the ecological and environmental conditions in these areas. This information will guide upcoming efforts to protect local ecosystems from the impacts of invasive species.\nThe added value of the cooperation between the project partners has been evident throughout the reporting period. Each partner brought its own expertise, contributing to a rich exchange of knowledge across regions and scientific disciplines. This collaborative approach enabled the joint research efforts that have led to more comprehensive and accurate data on NIS in the Adriatic. Moreover, the partnership worked together to develop harmonized methodologies and tools, ensuring consistency and alignment in future actions across all regions involved in the project. This cooperative framework has amplified the effectiveness and reach of the project, making the partnership greater than the sum of its parts.\n\nThe ALIENA project has made significant progress during its first year of implementation, laying the foundations for a cross-border strategy to address the growing challenge of non-indigenous species (NIS) in the Adriatic Sea. These species, often introduced by human activities, represent a serious risk to marine biodiversity, coastal ecosystems, and economic sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture and tourism.\nThe first key milestone was the development of a shared knowledge base on the presence and potential impact of NIS in the Adriatic. Each partner identified the main target species for their respective pilot areas, selecting them based on ecological significance, frequency of occurrence, and risk potential. A harmonised methodology ensured consistency across regions. The species identified include microalgae, jellyfish and other marine organisms known to affect ecosystems or generate health and economic concerns.\nAlongside this, the project produced a comprehensive analysis of the driving forces—such as water temperature, nutrient levels, and human pressure—that influence the presence and invasiveness of these species. \nAnother major achievement was the review of existing management systems. The project mapped strategies currently in place at regional, national and EU levels and identified good practices and gaps. \nIn parallel, partners have started designing pilot monitoring campaigns for each site, tailored to their local needs but aligned to a common methodological framework. These campaigns will combine traditional sampling techniques with innovative tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) and real-time sensing. In Croatia, a new molecular laboratory was established to support these efforts. Sensor selection and modelling frameworks have also been prepared for the development of early warning systems, which will enable timely detection and response to new NIS appearances.\nOn the modelling side, advanced work is underway to simulate the short-term dynamics of key NIS. Bluefarm and ARPA FVG are developing Agent-Based Models for two target species, while CMCC and other partners are working on integrating physical and biogeochemical modelling approaches. \nFrom a communication perspective, the project launched and maintained its website and social media platforms, project partners participated in public events, and delivered awareness-raising activities, particularly in schools and scientific fairs. The Advisory Board members have been appointedand stakeholder engagement has begun. The first steps for creating a digital Ocean Literacy hub have been undertaken. The added value of ALIENA lies in its cross-border cooperation, which has ensured shared methodologies, knowledge transfer, and complementary technical expertise. Through joint meetings, bilateral coordination, and collaborative tool development, the partnership has created a solid and unified framework to address NIS challenges at the Adriatic scale—something that would not be achievable through isolated regional efforts.\n\nDuring this period, the ALIENA partnership made major progress in putting its plans into action. After the initial research and preparation phase, the project moved decisively into real-life implementation, combining fieldwork, data analysis, communication and citizen involvement on both sides of the Adriatic Sea.\nAcross Italy and Croatia, coordinated pilot monitoring campaigns were launched to track and study several non-indigenous species (NIS) that threaten the Adriatic’s marine ecosystems. Sampling and laboratory analyses began in all pilot areas — Rocky coast areas of Puglia Region, the Gulf of Trieste, the Western Istrian Coast, and sites in Kaštela Bay and Šibenik Bay area using shared methods and instruments. This joint approach allows scientists to collect comparable data across borders, providing a much clearer picture of how and where these species are spreading.\nAt the same time, the basis for an early-warning system has begun to take shape. The research teams worked together to build the first components of advanced computer models designed to predict the behaviour of two major invasive species: Ostreopsis ovata (a harmful microalga) and Mnemiopsis leidyi (a jellyfish-like organism). These models use real data from the monitoring campaigns and combine expertise from several partners, showing how cooperation can turn scientific knowledge into practical solutions for early detection and prevention.\nThe partnership also strengthened collaboration with institutions, researchers and citizens. An Advisory Board was set up, bringing together scientific experts and policy representatives to support decision-making and ensure that the project’s results are useful for coastal management. Stakeholder involvement reports and participation in external events further expanded the project’s network.\nDigital outreach advanced through the expansion of the Adriatic Ocean Literacy platform, which now hosts dedicated ALIENA content, including interactive maps, articles, and educational materials about non-indigenous species. In parallel, the citizen science app “Crafting the Sea” was finalised and translated into several languages. The app will allow citizens, divers, and schools to record sightings of invasive species, linking local communities directly with scientific monitoring efforts.\nPreparations also began for future knowledge transfer actions, such as an international Summer School on NIS monitoring and forecasting, and a new framework for assessing the economic impact of invasive species in the Adriatic. These initiatives connect science, education, and socio-economic analysis, ensuring that ALIENA’s results are durable and relevant.\n","VENEZIA, BARI, Split, Lecce (ITF45), Rovinj-Rovigno, TRIESTE, Bari","IT, HR",null,"\n",null,null,null,7]
["ITHR0200152","Improving the Cyber REsilience and Security of Adriatic PORTs","CRESPORT aims at tackling the challenge of guaranteeing to the ports of the area a more secure and resilient IT infrastructure. The Adriatic ports represent a key player in the current and future transport scenario not only for Italy and Croatia but also for Europe as a whole. In the transport sector, digitalization is a key factor for the competitiveness of the supply chain. The use of digital systems exposes the ports' infrastructures to major risks: a cyber attack on a large port could massively disrupt the supply chain and consequently the country's economy. Hence, considering the ports as vulnerable and critical infrastructures, CRESPORT wants to cope this common issue with cooperation and joint actions, essential to empower territorial cohesion. This will require a change in the approach, through the adoption of a common strategy to assure compliance with the main international frameworks for cybersecurity (e.g. EU Directives, National legislation, IMO recommendations).\nThe following outputs will be achieved and the ports involved, as well as their stakeholders, will have direct benefit from them:\n- joint actions and training\n- new tools and/or solutions related to Information Technologies and data exchange;\n- common strategy and masterplan.\nA cross-border approach is needed, in order to create a synergy between port authorities and balance their diversities. Herewhy CRESPORT will start by improving the awareness and technical skills on cyber resilience and security of participating ports. Then a joint strategy to carry out two pilots devoted to test and evaluate technics, technologies, and countermeasures in general. The final object is to define a common strategy for the improvement of cybersecurity of the ports.\nSo, the original element of this project is the new approach to IT security, which never before has needed a new key: ports with a stronger base, more aware and more integrated that work in a coordinated sea-land approach are capable of strengthening maritime connections, essential to ensure the economic growth and, by consequence also the well-being of the population that will benefit from it.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_3) Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport","RSO3.2.

CRESPORT project involves the ports of Italy and Croatia, who have started working together and with strong commitment at the first activity of the project, having in mind the general objective of the project: to improve the cybersecurity awareness through the use of innovative IT systems and solutions. The timeline of the activity 1.1 foresees the starting phase at the first month of the project (March 2024) and its end phase at the 12th month (March 2024) with the two related deliverables to be finalized at the end of the first RP, with the achievement of 1 Target Group per each of them. However, as it is detailed explained in the deviation section, during this first part of the activity implementation, a critical aspect arose, which brought to a slight delay. More specifically: during this period the efforts of all the partners were concentrated in starting to work at the “Cross-border cyber resilience and security assessment” (D.1.1.1), planned to be reached within the 6th month of CRESPORT life cycle. Here, under the guidance of the Ports of Venice and Chioggia (appointed as WP1 Leader) it has been initialized an assessment of the state-of-the-art of cyber security strategies of the partners, identifying the as-is scenario, and plans previously adopted, based on which it will be decided what the best actions to adopt to raise awareness and knowledge about cyber resilience and security (through the D.1.1.2).\nCRESPORT project embraces the Cyber security aspects, where the data treatment takes a relevant role in all the related activities. Indeed, this assessment must be carried out with high attention to guaranteeing the necessary high level of confidentiality about the data and information collected. For this reason the drafting of the deliverables has requested more effort than was expected, exactly for the need to ensure a deep level of confidentiality to the critical data and information collected among the PPs; it was only in the more specific phase of this activity, with the cooperation of all partners, that this critical aspect of data processing became clear, leading some of the partners to consider whether or not to share their detailed data, especially in compliance with the NIS2 UE Directive coming into force right in October 2024, which requires a high level of care and prevention when sharing data. Therefore, it is necessary to proceed with the drafting of a single document providing a generic picture of the ports involved, rather than a detailed one for each of them (as originally foreseen in the Application Form). This minor change has been reported to the project Secretariat and will not affect or impact any activity, output, and results.\nAlso, as foreseen in the application form, the targets there described (Service provider, Public authorities, SME, General public, research organizations) will be reached starting from the 2nd Reporting Period, through the achievement of the Output 1.1 and so on. \n As explaned above,  the first part of CRESPORT project is setting the baseline for the future actions to be taken, emphasizing the value of the cross-border cooperation in developing a common framework to be able to react and protect the port when a cyber risk pops up. Cyber diplomacy can promote cybersecurity, protect national interests, and foster mutual trust among nations in the digital sphere by capitalizing on possibilities and reducing threats.\nIn the framework of the common challenge to make ports more resilient and secure through CRESPORT, the tasks related to this first reporting period have been implemented with a strong focus on the common need to increase the cross-border connectivity and cooperation: the steady dialogue between the partners, the sharing of experiences and expertise, the mutual learning, has created mutual benefits for all the ports of Italy and Croatia involved. \nIn organized meetings, the partners exchanged experiences in the relevant field and assessed potential challenges and solutions and agreed on categories of stakeholders to be involved and common KPIs to be adopted. However, seen that this first assessment is focused on an analysis of the cyber aspect of each partner (port Authority) the stakeholders and territories at this stage, have been only informed about the birth of the project and the start of the activities and they will be involved during the second reporting period.\n\nThe first and the second Reporting Period were devoted to the assessment of the security posture of the Adriatic ports involved in CRESPORT project, fully in line with the Priority 3 - Sustainable maritime and multimodal transport and its Specific Objective 3.1. Developing and enhancing sustainable, climate resilient, intelligent and intermodal national, regional and local mobility.\nThe activity 1.1 Assessing state-of-the-art and best practices  and Activity 1.2 Training on cyber resilience and security of ports,  have been completed during the 2nd RP, contributing to the achievement of 2 important Results:\n- Cybersecurity assessment of the Adriatic ports \n- Training on cyber resilience and security of ports \nreaching the output 0.1.1 and the related result RCO85_3.1: Participations in joint training schemes participations. \nThese results have been reached through networking activities and synergies among port authorities;  the partnership has been working with commitment and strong cooperation for the production of:\n- Deliverable 1.1.1 CBC Cyber resilience and security Assessment: AS-IS Scenario of the ports involved, through a questionnaire which gave a general picture of the cyber posture of each port. Only knowing the current situation of each port, it can be clear which solutions and action are needed in order to make port more resilient and secure. Status: completed. .\n- D.1.2.1 CBC Training for a shared awareness: organization of 3 training sessions, a perfect occasion of sharing of expertise, knowledge and all the cyber security aspects of the port as a critical infrastructure. Status: completed.\n\nThe 3rd document foreseen is the D.1.1.2 Best practices at international level analysis, still work in progress, that will be completed during the 3rd Reporting Period, this because it will include the results of the last training session and follow-up organized on April 2025 (3rd RP). Status: partly completed.\nThese documents will serve as baseline for the Activity 2 - Joint First Pilot action for the enhancement of the cyber resilience and security, responding to the need to develop and to implement more sustainable and technologically advanced solutions in the maritime transport and port sectors in order to make ports more secure and strong when a cyber-attack occurs.\nHowever, as stated in the first Reporting period report, the completion of the D.1.1.1  took longer than originally foreseen, because of the complexity of the topic reported and the treatment of sensitive data. Also, the entry into force of the new European Directive NIS 2, and its implementation, was taken into consideration while analyzing the relative scenario. Therefore, this deliverable was completed by all the partners, putting in place all the necessary measures to avoid any spread of sensitive info.\nWhile having clear the current cyber aspect of each port, the work package 1 had as objective the development of a shared awareness of the cyber security topic devoted to all the port community and operators. Indeed, with the collaboration of the Ports of Venice and Chioggia (PP6 and WP1 Leader), 3 training sessions were organized (participant list and pictures in attachment):\n- 2 in presence, in Venice, on 27th of January\n- 1 held on line, on 19th of February\nThe cyber space represents a challenge for all the port community and the awareness in this sense is crucial when talking about making port more strong and secure. Also, the main regulatory framework on cybersecurity were shared, explaining the legal evolution and the new Directive NIS2 and its characteristics. \nAll the partners participated to the involvement of the port community and the dissemination of the results of these training sessions, through media and website. On the first and second training session, 46 people attended in person, while 77 participated remotely for a total of 123 attendees. This activity represented also a relevant cross border activity, creating a collaborative environment that goes beyond just skill development; indeed it enhances Knowledge,  Best Practices and sharing; it helps to build stronger relationships; it creates consistency in standards and practices.\nThe value of cooperation is also underlined by the dialogue created between the partners and its stakeholders: indeed web call meetings and communication activities helped to mantain the dialogue and ensure the quality of CRESPORT. The 2nd Steering Committee was organized on line on 30th October 2024:  all the strategic plans were shared. Furthermore, all PPs carried out the following communication activities:\n- News on social media and on both official and institutional website were published\n- social media account updated\n- CRESPORT website updated\n- Stakeholder meetings and participation at several events from all the partnership: opportunities to\nexchange views, experiences, project ideas, as well as information on digital tools and methodologies.\nCRESPORT project is taking concrete actions in enhancing the awareness and technical capabilities of participating ports in the area of cyber resilience and security. One of the primary objectives of the project is to equip port stakeholders with the knowledge and skills necessary to address evolving cyber threats. The awareness is outlined in the Application Form as a first key element in order to make all the port’s actors able to face any cyber-related issue. The first output was the delivery of the “Training on Cyber Resilience and Security of Ports,” These training sessions successfully engaged port authorities, operators, and relevant stakeholders through a series of coordinated events led by PP6 – Ports of Venice and Chioggia.\n\nThe training program was conducted as follows:\n\n1.\tSession 1 (27 January 2025, Venice Tower Heritage, 4 hours): Cybersecurity experts from the National Cyber Agency (ACN-Italy), universities, and private cyber companies shared insights on current challenges in cyberspace and practical solutions for port operations. RP2\n2.\tSession 2 (27 January 2025, afternoon, same location, 4 hours): Continued discussions and knowledge-sharing on cybersecurity strategies. RP 2\n3.\tSession 3 (19 February 2025, online): A follow-up session allowing participants to share experiences, provide feedback, and pose questions to experts. RP 2\n4.\tSession 4 (28 April 2025, online): Featured leading international cybersecurity specialists who presented best practices and actionable recommendations for Adriatic ports. RP 3\n\nTogether with the training activities, in the first work package all the partnership dedicated its collaborative efforts to the assessment of the vulnerabilities related to software and hardware components of IT systems, an AS‐IS scenario on cyber resilience and security of the respective ports, in terms of compliance with the main frameworks at the international level, completed during the thirsd reporting period with the production of the Deliverable D.1.1.2  – Analysis of best practices at the international level. So, during this reporting period the first work package was successfully completed, yielding key results.\n\nThe specific objective of the first work package was the increase of the technical competences of port ICT in order to better react and protect the port when a cyber risk pops up. The SO 1 was successfully achieved during the third reporting period, with the commitment and collaboration of all the partnership.  As regarding the SO 2 and SO 3, they will be reached in the next reporting period. More in details: the SO 2 is to test and evaluate co-design solutions, based on tools and technologies for the improvement of the cyber resilience and security of the Ports. The activities for the achievement of this has started during this reporting period and further development will be reported during the next reports.\n\nBuilding on these achievements, partners have initiated Work Package 2, focusing on the development of pilot actions to enhance cyber resilience and security across the network of participating ports. During the 3rd Reporting Period, methodology for the pilot actions was established and refined during the 3rd Steering Committee Meeting  (held in Trieste on March 2025). \n\nThe Activity 2.1 involves the design and implementation of joint pilot actions, aimed at testing sustainable solutions to improve the cybersecurity of port hardware and software infrastructures. While the draft designs of the first and second pilot actions (Deliverables D.2.1.1 and D.2.2.1) were finalized under the coordination of the WP2 leader, Port of Ploce, their full implementation and evaluation will occur in the coming months. These pilot actions represent a tangible step toward establishing strong cyber resilience practices for Adriatic ports.\n","Ploče, Venezia, TRIESTE, Ancona, RIJEKA, DUBROVNIK – NERETVA COUNTY, RAVENNA","HR, IT",null,"Hrvatska (HR), Dubrovnik, Obala pape Ivana Pavla II, 1, 20000\nHrvatska (HR), Ploče, Trg kralja Tomislava, 21, 20340\nHrvatska (HR), Rijeka, Riva, 1, 51000\n",null,null,null,7]
["ITHR0200056","ARCHAEOlogical DIGITal paths for an inclusive and sustainable tourism","Croatia and Italy are rich of archaeological sites of priceless historical and cultural value, sometimes located near seaside destinations, more often in inland areas.\n\nIn both countries, this heritage shares an extraordinary potential to generate significant tourism flows, nevertheless exploited in a very limited way. Indeed, current ways of preservation and valorisation still rely on elitist practices, able to attract essentially archaeology lovers and school classes, thus excluding many categories of potential visitors.\n\nARCHAEODIGIT will respond to the need of modernising current management practices, by producing an innovative and effective Methodology of preservation, interpretation and valorisation of archaeological areas. The Methodology envisages an integrated strategy – involving all stakeholders from the territorial tourism ecosystem - to attract new visitors: online promotion of off-season itineraries with on-site interactive exhibits and applications; use of appealing interactive and immersive technologies (e.g Metaverse, AR); creation of digital cultural path combining archaeological goods with intangible assets and tourist information.\n\nThe project also foresees activities providing (future) cultural and touristic operators with the advanced skills needed to effectively use the Methodology and the other main project outputs (digital Platform and Joint Strategy).\n\nThe adoption of the new Methodology will lead to the growth of visitors to archaeological areas, fostering cross-border archaeological itineraries, thus contributing to: 1) enhance the competitiveness and resilience of the tourism sector; 2) sustain its recovery from the Pandemic; 3) mitigate the high seasonality pressure characterizing the coastal tourist areas, diverting tourism flows to neighbouring inland areas and promoting off-season itineraries.\n\nCross-border collaboration and co-creation approach ensures immediate applicability and replicability of outputs in other territories.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

These activities are crucial to understand the existing conditions, problems, needs, challenges and development opportunities in the partners’ territories. The outcomes enable effective sharing of information, knowledge and experience among partners and stakeholders regarding the three thematic project areas. This will contribute to achieving Output 1.1, the ‘Joint Methodology’, which should be based on a participatory approach, and be fully integrated with the needs and opportunities of partners’ territorial touristic ecosystem, as analysed and mapped through the very Existing Situation Analysis and Good Practices. \n\nCross-border cooperation took place through common discussions, also through project meetings such as the kick-off event and other meetings to discuss work methods and content. The added value of cross-border cooperation is reflected in the outcomes of the ESA and Good Practices, which represent truly joint work with contributions from all partners. In the upcoming periods, this will allow for further exchanges, comparisons and solutions to different problems also with the help of already existing and successful practices to be capitalised. \n\nAnother important objective and main achievement in this period is the establishment of transnational frameworks for joint cooperation. In fact, one of the key challenges of ARCHAEODIGIT is its commitment to a participatory and interdisciplinary approach, where a series of project activities will be co-designed not only among project partner but also by involving different stakeholders from the partner territories. In particular, WP1 objective and Output 1.1 aim to jointly develop a common methodology among partners, with the support of stakeholders in the territory. Dialogue with relevant actors in the partner territories has started, involving partners across borders to be part of transnational thematic working groups and various stakeholder organisations in the Co-creation Workshop activities. This is an important achievement as Output 1 should be based on a participatory approach built on genuine cooperation through co-design and union of different skills (archaeology, cultural tourism and ICT).\n\nFinally, ARCHAEODIGIT has achieved significant milestones in project communication. In particular, communication strategies for the ARCHAEODIGIT project have been developed, formulated, and included in a comprehensive plan to effectively communicate with the project’s various target groups. This plan outlines communication objectives, tools, channels, and key messages, tailored to the target groups and their expectations. Additionally, the plan also includes a stakeholder list with over 260 stakeholders from the partner territories, who will be engaged through project communication and dissemination activities. Tailored communication tools, channels, and messages will enable effective outreach to the specific audiences the project aims to address. The project has generated interest from the very start, as demonstrated by the enthusiasm of various stakeholders to participate in e.g., the co-creation workshop activities.     \n\nSuccessful work in this period was made possible by efficient project management from all partners, achieved through day-to-day coordination of activities and project meetings, such as the Kick-off event, which included participation from all partners and two Associated Partners. \n\nARCHAEODIGIT has successfully achieved a major project objective: the definition of a joint common Methodology for preservation, interpretation and valorization of archaeological areas within a touristic ecosystem. A crucial step towards this objective was the preparatory work, which included a comprehensive analysis of the existing situation in the partner territories and the identification of good practices in the project’s key sectors. Exchange, comparisons and problem-solving were facilitated, leveraging existing successful practices through capitalisation of good practices including the TRANSFER project. These activities were essential in understanding the current conditions, challenges, needs and development opportunities in the partners’ territories. The outcomes facilitated effective exchange of information, knowledge and experience among partners and stakeholders across the three thematic project areas, which was crucial for subsequent development within the thematic Working Groups (WGs). \nThis collaborative effort resulted in the Joint Methodology, which serves as the foundation for the development of management plans, a process that has recently been initiated, along with the establishment of Local hubs in the partners territories to ensure local needs and requirements are met.  \n\nCross-border cooperation was fostered through discussions, exchanges and collaborative development in project meetings, technical board meetings, WGs, and Co-creation Workshops (CWs). The added value of cross-border cooperation is reflected in the outcomes of the ESA, Good Practices, and the Common Methodology–true joint efforts built on contributions from all partners and APs. Furthermore, cross-border cooperation was also realised through Transnational Masterclass sessions, which engaged local stakeholders and partners across the borders, aiming to upskill relevant actors, as well as to provide those involved in the pilot actions to have the needed knowledge and competencies. This is an important step towards achieving WP2, which seeks to ensure effective use of the Common Methodology, and WP3 to provide the partners and stakeholders with the knowledge and competencies to carry out the pilot actions. \n\nAnother key objective and major achievement thus far is the implementation of a participatory and interdisciplinary approach, not only among partners but also through the active involvement of stakeholders in the partner territories. Notably, Output 1.1 is the result of a participatory and interdisciplinary joint development process achieved through co-creation, within the framework of three transnational WGs, which operated in parallel and cross the borders throughout the entire development process. Together with co-creation activities and CWs this ensured the involvement, input and feedback from stakeholders and APs, ultimately leading to the Joint Methodology (Output 1.1). This participatory approach – built on genuine cooperation through co-design, the integration of diverse expertise including archaeology, cultural tourism and ICT, and capitalisation of existing knowledge and practices – has brought clear added-value to the project outcomes, reflecting local expectations and needs. \nLocal hubs, established, or in the process of being established in the partner territories, will continue to ensure such participatory approach at local level. The first local hub meetings have been implemented in view of WP3 objective “To elaborate a joint smart transnational strategy for better preserving, interpreting and valorising the archaeological heritage of the programme area, within the context of touristic ecosystems”. In fact, local hubs have started to collaborate with their respective test areas for the Management Plans and the preparation of the Pilot actions.\n     \nFinally, ARCHAEODIGIT has achieved significant milestones in project communication. In particular, communication strategies for the project have been developed, formulated, and incorporated into a comprehensive plan to effectively engage the project’s various target groups. This plan is currently being implemented with the support of communication tools, such as the project brochure, the project website, social media platforms, the project video, and tailored outreach activities addressing different target audiences, to support and promote project activities (WGs, CWs, masterclass, local hubs, etc.). In fact, through continuous communication the project has generated interest from the very start, and is continuing to draw interest, as demonstrated by the enthusiasm of various stakeholders to participate in CWs, masterclasses and local hubs. \n\nThe success achieved so far has been made possible by efficient project management by all partners, facilitated by day-to-day coordination of activities and project meetings, such as the kick-off meeting, SC-meetings, and technical board meetings, with the participation of project partners and Associated Partners. \n\nARCHAEODIGIT has successfully achieved a major project objective: the definition of a joint common Methodology for preservation, interpretation and valorization of archaeological areas within a touristic ecosystem. A crucial step towards this achievement was the preparatory phase, which included a comprehensive analysis of the existing situations in the partner territories and the identification of good practices across the project’s key sectors. This process enabled effective exchange, comparison, and problem-solving, drawing on successful experiences and capitalising on good practices—including those from the TRANSFER project. These activities were essential for understanding the current context, challenges, needs and development opportunities in each territory. The outcomes facilitated meaningful exchange of information, knowledge and experience among partners and stakeholders across the three thematic project areas, laying the foundation for further development within the thematic Working Groups (WGs). \nThis collaborative effort culminated in the Joint Methodology, which has enabled the creation of initial management plans, containing actions and strategies for more modern, attractive and sustainable archaeological parks. These plans were enriched by the involvement of local stakeholders and citizens through Local Hubs in each partner territory, ensuring that local needs and priorities were addressed. \n\nCross-border cooperation was actively fostered through discussions, exchanges and collaborative development during project meetings, technical board meetings, WGs, and Co-creation Workshops (CWs). The added value of this cooperation is reflected in the outcomes of the ESA, Good Practices, and the Common Methodology–true joint efforts built on contributions from all partners and APs. Transnational Masterclass and Study visit sessions, further strengthened this cooperation by engaging local stakeholders and partners across borders. These sessions have upskilled relevant actors, equipping them with the knowledge and competencies needed to participate effectively in the pilot actions. These efforts are key to achieving WP2 - which focus on the effective application of the Common Methodology, and WP3 - which seeks to empower partners and stakeholders to implement the pilot actions, through the application and use of the Management Plans. \n\nAnother major achievement has been the implementation of a participatory and interdisciplinary approach, not only among partners but also through the active involvement of stakeholders in each territory. Notably, Output 1.1, is the result of a joint development process achieved through co-creation within three transnational WGs, which operated in parallel and across borders throughout the entire development phase. \nCo-creation activities and Co-creation Workshops furthermore, ensured the involvement, input, and feedback of APs and stakeholders from partner territories, ultimately leading to the Joint Methodology (Output 1.1), and Initial Management Plans. This participatory approach – built on genuine cooperation, co-design, integration of diverse expertise (including archaeology, cultural tourism and ICT), consideration of stakeholder priorities, and the capitalisation of existing knowledge and practices – has added clear value to the project outcomes by reflecting local expectations and needs. Local hubs, currently active across the partner territories, continue to uphold this participatory approach at the local level. Numerous Local Hub meetings have been held in support of WP3 objective “To elaborate a joint smart transnational strategy for better preserving, interpreting and valorising the archaeological heritage of the programme area, within the context of touristic ecosystems”. These hubs are working closely with their respective test areas to further develop the Management Plans and prepare for the pilot actions.\n     \nFinally, ARCHAEODIGIT has reached significant milestones in project communication.\nA comprehensive communication strategy has been developed and is now being implemented to effectively engage the project’s diverse target groups. This strategy is supported by tools such as the project brochure, website, social media platforms, video, and tailored outreach activities targeting specific audiences to promote and support project initiatives (WGs, CWs, Masterclasses, Local Hubs, etc.). From the outset, continuous communication has generated strong interest in the project as shown by the enthusiastic participation of stakeholders in CWs, Transnational Masterclasses and Study visits, and Local Hubs.\n\nSuccess achieved so far was possible thanks to efficient project management by all partners, incl. financial management, facilitated by day-to-day coordination, monitoring of activities and project meetings, including regular SC-meetings, technical board meetings, and informal/extra meetings with participation of both project partners and Associated Partners.\n","Ancona, Pula, Macerata, Kaštel Sućurac, Omišalj, Sepino","IT, HR",{"$nulls":5},8]
["ITHR0200454","Adopting WASTE as Resource","The preservation and protection of nature and biodiversity is a key challenge for ensuring a sustainable and acceptable environment in the programme area. One of the major sources of environmental pressure is related to waste production. The impact of increasing waste production, particularly plastic, implies negative ecological and socio-economic impacts. It contributes to the overconsumption of natural resources and is a source of pollution for soil and water, which increases the ecological footprint of economic activities. The project includes organizations where coastal tourism is a key or significant economic activity, which is highly impacted by the generation of a significant amount of waste, of which a part ends uncontrolled in the Adriatic Sea. This is a cross-borders issue, and it cannot be effectively mitigated by the actions implemented solely on west or east Adriatic coastline. This is why it is essential to develop a common approach in all included regions but also work to disseminate it to other concerned areas in both countries. Marine litter represents an emerging global issue, and the effects of plastic waste are particularly devastating in the marine environment. It is estimated that 80 percent of marine litter comes from land-based sources and it is crucial to act in terms of reducing the amount of produced waste. \nTo reduce quantity of produced waste, there is an urgent need for a transition from the traditional linear economic model (take-make-dispose) to widely accepted sustainable alternatives such as the circular economy (CE) approach. The promotion of CE approach identified as one of cross-cutting challenges for the Programme area, together with the identified need to improve the knowledge base on environmental protection will be the two main challenges tackled by the project.\nThe project overall objective is to minimize waste generation by promoting circular economy approach through the organisation of educational courses and the exchange of experience in the Italy-Croatia coastal areas. The project improves the consumer, focusing on younger population, and economy sector knowledge base on waste collection managing, promotion of recycling and waste reuse, thus contributing to the protection of biodiversity and fight against pollution.\nOn the basis of regional analysis and detection of cross-border challenges to minimize waste generation, the partners will jointly develop and implement Action Plan and innovative training scheme aiming to foster the sustainable use of resources and promote adoption of CE principles through the organisation of workshops, trainings and testing innovative solutions on reusing the collected waste and promoting low resource economy schemes by implementing two Joint Pilot Actions. The first action will be related on returning the collected waste to the economic cycle by establishing small-scale EcoLabs in five cross-border regions and co-developing with high-school students innovative viable products. Through EcoLabs, the students will be working on activities, e.g. processing the plastic waste and producing new products by using 3D printers. The second Joint Pilot Action will be performed in the form of the organization of waste-free events, jointly developed by using examples of cross-border good practices and combined with the pilot action to promote the innovative solutions resulting from EcoLab workshops.\nThe project results and solutions will be disseminated at the project's Final International Conference, gathering relevant actors aiming to further capitalize and transfer the project approach and ensure its durability.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

At the beginning of the project, LP prepared the project Partnership Agreement (PA) in which all the procedures and commitments among the project partners were set. The PA was signed by all the partners and uploaded in JEMS. \nProject activities officially started with the Kick-off conference (D.1.1.1), organised by LP on 23 and 24 April 2024 in Labin (HR) and with the participation of all PPs. The Kick-off conference was organised in the scope of the conference “Green and Blue Energy Transition Days” where project manager Mr Andrea Poldrugovac (IRENA), and Mr Marin Miletić, representative of Interreg Italy-Croatia Joint Secretariat presented the project, its activities and expected outcomes, together with peculiarities and by emphasizing the importance of cross-border cooperation. Besides the project conference, LP organised the Technical and Steering Committee meeting, during which all the project management structures were established (AWASTER Technical Group, Steering Committee, Communication group). After the project conference, PPs published a press release which was sent to local and regional media and the announcement of the project start was published on all institutional websites. The project consortium developed the Communication strategy and monitoring of communication activities (managed by PP2-Sunce) and the  Quality management and risk plan, Internal communication plan and Evaluation plan (all managed by LP-IRENA, all PPs contributed). Both documents are uploaded as annexes to this report.\nDuring the reporting period, the focus of the joint partner's work was on activities A.1.1 and A.1.2 of the respective WP1. Besides the joint work on the organisation of the project conference, in parallel, project partners started working on a regional analysis of the waste management system and situation with recycling and use of recycled materials in the regions. In May, LP prepared the templates for D.1.1.2 Regional Waste Management Report and D.1.1.3 Regional Secondary Market Report, and project partners worked during the period on collecting data and preparing the reports. The reports have been prepared for 5 regions. LP worked on preparing the reports for Istria County, PP2 for Split-Dalmatia County, PP3&PP4 for Veneto Region, PP5 for Apulia Region and PP6 for Dubrovnik-Neretva County. The reports have been finalised and uploaded on the project's website. \nAs regards activity A1.2 Sustainable resources use guidelines, LP coordinated the development of the draft version of D.1.2.1 Guidelines for establishment of models aimed at early adoption of circular economy principles (prepared by PP2 Sunce) and Guidelines for low resource economy (prepared by PP3 Sinloc). \nIn the reporting period, the partners started working on the preliminary activities for the development of A.1.3 Joint Strategy and Action Plan by providing inputs for the Guidelines for the organisation of D.1.3.3 workshops. The guidelines were developed by PP3 Sinloc and will serve for the organisation of workshops which will help to collect inputs for the development of A.1.2 and A.1.3.\nTo coordinate the progress of the activities, LP organised several online coordination meetings (6/6/2024,1/7/2024,26/8/2024).\nThe first period was a serious test for all PPs if the activities foreseen in the AF could be performed on time and deliver planned results. All PPs have put in significant effort and have proven that the consortium is strongly moving forward to reaching project outputs and results. \nThe second period was mainly characterised by conducting activities related to A1.2 and A1.3 in the scope of WP1, and activity A2.3 from WP2. \n\nIn WP1, in the context of A1.2 Sustainable resources use, PP2 created Guidelines for the establishment of models aimed at early adoption of circular economy principles (D.1.2.1), project partners commented, the lead partner checked and supplemented with details about the implementation of the educational activities. Suggestions were accepted, D.1.2.1 is finalised in February 2025 and ready for implementation. For the finalisation of D.1.2.2 Guidelines for low resource economy, PP3 was responsible, and PPs have contributed with their inputs. At the end of the period, activity A.1.2 and related deliverables (D.1.2.1, D.1.2.2) were finalised.\nIn A.1.3 during this period, LP as the responsible partner, has started with the elaboration of the content of the AWASTER Joint Strategy (D.1.3.1) and has provided support to PP3 who is the responsible partner for AWASTER Joint Action Plan (D.1.3.4). The first draft of the Strategy structure was presented to the project consortium at the 2nd Project and SC Meeting which was organised by PP2 in Split from November 13 to November 14, 2024.\nAs one of the inputs for the development of the Strategy and Action Plan, PPs worked on collecting inputs for D.1.3.2 Best Practice Catalogue, and also worked on the organisation of two regional workshops in each involved region under D.1.3.3. (10 workshops in total).  At the end of the period, deliverables D.1.3.2 and D.1.3.3 were finalised.\n\nIn the scope of WP2,  activities in this WP started in this period instead of originally planned in period 3, with the organisation of the first A.2.3 workshop in Split in the scope of the 2nd Project and SC meeting. In the first AWASTER Joint training session, PP2 took the lead in presenting innovative methods for participative learning, providing participants with valuable insights and practical tools to enhance their content development processes as part of organised joint training on November 13, 2024. One press release was issued related to the first training course, and PP2 has also prepared the report from the training session.\nDuring this period, PP were working on the preparation for the implementation of A.2.1 Early Adoption of Circular Economy Principles educational schemes, which will begin mainly in April 2025. Due to the fact that schools in their region have expressed interest in organising activities at the end of February, PP5  has organised two D.2.1.1 activities in the Puglia Region. \n\nAs already mentioned in the previous paragraphs, during the reporting period, PPs have participated in the 2nd Project and SC Meeting, which was organised by PP2 in Split from November 13 to November 14, 2024. The meeting was the occasion to evaluate the current progress of the activities and to discuss further steps. It was attended by all PPs and by relevant stakeholders invited by PPs.\nDuring the reporting period, LP was in charge of the organisation of 4 online partner coordination meetings (30/9,30/10,19/12/2024,4/2/2025).\nThe reporting period was characterised by intensive work on finalising two main deliverables under WP1 (Joint Strategy and Action Plan), by organising a significant number of educational activities within WP2, and by successfully holding the High-Level International Conference in June in Portogruaro, Italy.\n\nWithin WP1, partners focused their efforts on developing and finalising the D.1.3.1 Joint Strategy and D.1.3.4 Action Plan for the sustainable use of resources through the adoption of circular economy principles. The Lead Partner (LP) was responsible for drafting the Strategy, while PP3 SINLOC led the preparation of the Action Plan. Progress was achieved through regular online coordination meetings held on 4 March, 18 April, 19 May, and 27 August 2025, as well as through continuous exchange of ideas and feedback via email communication.\n\nThe highlight of the third reporting period was the organisation of the High-Level International Conference “AWASTER for a Circular Future: Youth Empowerment and Business Innovation,” held on 24 June 2025 in Portogruaro, Italy. Organised within the framework of the EU Green Week, the conference served as an opportunity to present the Joint Strategy and Action Plan and to bring together project partners from Italy and Croatia, representatives of the business sector, educational institutions, and civil society organisations. The shared message was clear: for environmental protection and a sustainable future, the transition to a circular economy is essential. The conference programme included two engaging panel discussions featuring experts from both countries and the presentation of D.1.3.2 – Catalogue of Good Practices, showcasing 35 examples of sustainable business solutions from Italy and Croatia. In conjunction with the conference, the project partnership organised Project and Steering Committee meetings on 24–25 June, as well as a Mid-Term Review meeting with the Joint Secretariat (JS).\n\nBy the end of Period 3, both the Strategy (D.1.3.1) and the Action Plan (D.1.3.4) had been completed. However, the delivery of Output O1.1 and Result 1-RCR79_2.2 has been postponed to Period 4 to ensure that both documents receive the necessary endorsement and uptake prior to final submission.\n\nBoth documents have been developed in a way that can be easily replicated and capitalized in later stages. The associated partner, 1.Maj d.o.o. was involved in the development. As soon as the O1.1 and Result 1 will be finalized, they will be reported through the Template for reporting outputs suitable for capitalization to the JS capitalization officer.\n\nDuring the third reporting period, activities under WP2 intensified across all five participating regions. Under A2.1, project partners implemented various educational and awareness-raising activities, including D.2.1.1 educational activities in schools, D.2.1.2 clean-up actions, D.2.1.4 knowledge transfer events, and preparatory work for the D.2.1.5 pilot actions. The LP organised an additional D.2.1.1 activity with the local kindergarten Kockica in the Municipality of Kršan on 21 May 2025. PP2 carried out workshops in two elementary schools, organised a beach clean-up activity for schools and the business sector (D.2.1.2 & D.2.2.1), implemented child-to-parent knowledge transfer actions (D.2.1.4), and initiated procurement of 3D printers to strengthen Ecolabs (D.2.1.5). PP4 continued preparatory work for A2.1 activities, including workshops, clean-up events, and school-based activities. PP5 held internal coordination meetings with external experts to plan activities under D.2.1.2, D.2.1.4, and D.2.1.5 for implementation in Period 4. PP6 organised two D.2.1.1 workshops, both supported by an external expert in environmental protection.\n\nDuring this period, partners also finalised the D.2.1.3 Waste Footprint App, a digital tool designed to support educational activities and raise awareness among young people. Developed by IRENA with contributions from the entire AWASTER partnership, the app represents a small yet meaningful step toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\nUnder A2.2, several regional and thematic workshops were conducted. The LP organised the D.2.2.1 Workshop within the Academy of Sustainable Tourism (4–5 and 11–13 April 2025). PP2 held a regional workshop on resource efficiency in the economic sector (D.2.2.1), complemented by interviews and questionnaires (D.2.2.2), and organised an additional online educational workshop. PP3 developed templates and guidelines to support partners in administering the business sector survey and organised one workshop under D.2.2.1 in early April 2025. PP6 held a D.2.2.1 workshop on 15 May 2025 in Korčula.\n\nDuring the reporting period, the LP submitted an official Major Change Request to the JS in relation to PP4’s budget modification. PP4 requested the transfer of EUR 20,000 from the “External Expertise” budget line to the newly created “Equipment” budget line.","Korčula, Casarano, Portogruaro , Padova, Split, Labin","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},6]
["ITHR0200543","Blue Economy sYnergies fOr sustaiNable Development","Project BEYOND promotes acceptance of offshore wind energy in Adriatic regions through development of solutions that make offshore wind power farms (OWFs) stimulating factor in development of other blue economy sectors, rather than competing actor. Off-shore wind resources in Adriatic sea exist in hotspots available on both sides of Adriatic basin and offer significant energy potential which can be captured to secure new type of renewable energy resource thus fostering green transition in both countries. Project aims to analyze those hotspots in more detail and determine future best suited micro locations for potential OWF installation. \nTraditionally, OWFs are facilities with a singular purpose, electric energy production. Outside of that scope, infrastructure required to do so, especially part placed underneath sea level line, is viewed with no particular interest. BEYOND proposes different approach in Adriatic regions, one that would enable system planners to fully comprehend and acknowledge the importance of marine ecosystem that existed before the OWF pillions were installed and that could continue to do so and even thrive in improved conditions if proper planning procedures are implemented. This ecosystem is shared resource of both countries and it is essential to define common approach of its preservation and utilization. Thus, in cooperation of actors representing all elements of quadruple helix from both Italy and Croatia, BEYOND will be developing common OWF design model not focused on maximization of electric energy production but instead, primarily on overall health of marine ecosystem and then on maximization of sum of outputs of all concerned blue economy sectors.\nFour regions situated in north, middle, and south Adriatic are defined as project pilot regions in which such systems will be modelled. This will be done in micro locations most suitable not only for synergetic development of blue economy sectors but also for offshore green hydrogen production and inclusion in current and future European green hydrogen valleys. Possibility to minimize risk of marine transport related pollution in highly sensitive environment of semi closed Adriatic Sea via transition to green hydrogen as marine transport energy source, is of a particular interest to project BEYOND and it represents an approach that has high future capitalization value.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_1) Sustainable growth in the blue economy","RSO1.1.

In this period, the partnership was focused on finalizing start-up activities (including  BEYOND management bodies establishments and Rules of proceedings) which are very important to ensure the successful implementation of the project from start to completion. BEYOND technical board was established to secure coordination of technical activities and quality of results but also manages and monitors stakeholders’ participation in the delivery development process. LP started drafting Working methodology guidelines, a very important document that will be developed to assure the quality of all technical deliverables; the document will define the scope, logic of approach, content, available tools, etc. for each technical deliverable resulting in high quality and usability level of deliverables. Project management team was appointed to ensure proper financial and administrative management. Communicational manager was appointed to manage the implementation of communication activities and ensure proper dissemination of project results. CM prepared and presented Communication strategy and tools for monitoring communication results. All PPs printed the project poster and included info about the project on their institutional website. CM started preparing info and texts for BEYOND project website.\nPartnership finalized Stakeholders mapping and Stakeholders involvement strategy, two deliverables important to help partners in recognizing important stakeholders who should be invited to participate in later activities (most importantly Transregional and Regional SBE labs and other project events) and define a proper way of engaging them. \nA very important deliverable achieved in Period 1 was the BEYOND Interregional conference that involved more than 100 persons including representatives of policymakers, Local/regional government, National public authority, public institutions and agencies, sectoral agencies, Higher education and research organizations, Enterprises, SMEs, Fishery associations (e.g. FLAGs), Environmental associations, etc. The project Interregional conference was organized on the 23rd of April 2024. in Labin, by LP - IRENA - Istrian Regional Energy Agency.  The conference was organized together with a project kick-off meeting and within a three-day event named “Green and Blue Energy Transition Days. During the event, besides the BEYOND Interregional conference, a one-panel session was held dedicated to the offshore wind where multiple experts discussed possible OWF-s in the Adriatic area. The event managed to present the start of the project to high number of important stakeholders. Together with the conference, a Kick-off meeting was organized. Associated partners AO1 and AO1 participated at KoM and Interregional conference.\nBEYOND partners started working on technical deliverables Pilot regions marine ecosystems analysis, Pilot regions physical natural conditions analysis, and Legislative and regulatory framework for OWF and offshore BES installation. The first step was that PP from four pilot areas (Istria County, Split-Dalmatia County, Region of Veneto and Region of Puglia clearly define the pilot areas; sea areas where future OWF-s will be planned. After pilot areas were defined, PP2-OGS started to collate initial sources and data it currently has at its disposal from which to build upon to produce a detailed overview of fishing and aquaculture potential adjusted to reflect the positive effect of OWF infrastructure. During this period, PP3 developed a methodology for one pilot location in Istria, which will later be applied to the remaining three locations. Bathymetry was the first element to be examined, as it plays a crucial role in determining the feasibility of wind farms. As part of the study, the sea depths across the entire observed region were mapped. It was investigated which foundation types are appropriate for installation depending on sea depths. Besides the mentioned activities, PP discussed and planned multiple next activities (Transregional SBE labs, Regional SBE labs, other technical deliverables that are planned for Period 2, etc.).\n\nIn this period, the partnership was focused mainly on WP1 and partially start od activities in WP2 and WP3.  BEYOND technical board, established in previous period, ensured coordination of technical activities and quality of results but also manages and monitors stakeholders’ participation in the delivery development process. LP finalized D 1.1.3 Working methodology guidelines which establishes a structured methodological framework for the development of technical deliverables within the BEYOND project, including scope, logic of approach, content, available databases and tools for technical deliverables, assuring the quality and usability of each technical deliverable. \nD 1.2.8 Cooperation and Joint Planning – First Regional SBE lab were organized together in four cities; Zagreb (LP), Split (PP5), Bari (PP4) and Rovigo (PP6-PP7). \nLP organized SBE lab in Zagreb (27/09/2025) in cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB) and the Hrvoje Požar Energy Institute (EIHP), currently leading organizations in the field of offshore wind energy development projects. As part of the regional conference, several key organizations participated. PP6-PP7 organized lab in Rovigo Italy (13/11/2025). Discussions were focused on maritime spatial planning (MSP), offshore wind energy potential, stakeholder engagement, and strategies to foster sustainable blue economy growth in the Veneto region. PP4 organized Regional SBE lab in Split (03/10/2025) as an informal meeting of regional stakeholders. Emphasis was placed on legal regulations and models of application and the degree of construction of offshore wind farms. PP5 organized first Regional SBE lab in Bari (04 /10/2024). The event had the objective of presenting the BEYOND project, the planned activities and the pilot areas identified by Puglia Region where detailed analyses will be carried out. The event represented an important moment of debate between the various national and regional stakeholders with in-depth on the regulatory, legislative, technical and cooperation aspects.\nAlso, D 1.4.4 First Transregional SBE lab was was organized by PP5 Split-Dalmatia County, 15th-16 th October 2024.\nThe two-day Transregional SBE Lab included a diverse range of stakeholders. Stakeholders contributed to the objectives of the project with their expertise and unique perspectives, which are crucial for basis for development of crossborder guidelines for planning of OWFs and set of proposals for changes in policy instruments dealing with blue economy sectors in Adriatic regions.\nTechnical deliverables were finalized;\nD 1.3.1 Pilot regions marine ecosystems analysis\nThis deliverable contains the analysis of marine ecosystems components in pilot regions using the most detailed and complete information available. The deliverable in composed in 4 sections that are the 4 regions, thus it is built as 4 reports that was done by PP2 with assistance off PPs from pilot regions.\nD 1.3.2 Pilot regions physical natural conditions analysis\nThis report examines two key natural factors that significantly impact OWF installation and energy production, namely wind conditions and water depth. From wind analyses, lower wind speeds in each of the four locations can be observed, compared to the usual design wind speed of OWFs. \nHowever, these wind speeds are fairly consistent throughout the year, which is a positive aspect, as there are no significant deviations, allowing the OWF to operate under nearly identical conditions most of the time. Additionally, the changes in available wind speed are quite similar across all four locations, with only minor variations. \nD 1.3.3 Legislative and regulatory framework for OWF and offshore BES installation\nThis report provides an in-depth analysis of the legislative and regulatory frameworks governing OWFs and SBE installations across Italy and Croatia, with a particular focus on national and regional policies that influence energy transition strategies\nD 1.4.1 Pilot regions preliminary offshore wind energy potential analysis\nA preliminary offshore wind energy potential analysis was carried out for the four pilot regions to identify favourable positions of wind turbines within each pilot region, to examine the suitability of selected wind turbine models, and to estimate their annual energy production based on long-term hourly wind speed data.\nD 1.4.3BES synergies - best practice review\nThis deliverable presents a catalogue of best-practice examples integrating offshore wind farms (OWFs) with other Blue Economy Sectors (BES)\nAlso, PP started working on multiple other deliverables that will be finalized in PR3 or later stages of the project.\nRegarding communication; BEYOND Newsletter mailing list, BEYOND Newsletter and Introductory BEYOND leaflet and brochure were finalized. D 1.2.7 First regional conference were organized together with four First Regional SBE lab.\n\nIn this period, the partnership was focused mainly on finalization on WP1 and WP2.1, and partially started other  activities in WP2 and WP3.  BEYOND technical board, established in previous period, ensured coordination of technical activities and quality of results but also manages and monitors stakeholders’ participation in the delivery development process. Physical project meeting was organized in Bari and online meeting were organized when needed. \n\nFinalized activities;\nD 1.3.4. OWF technology and pilot regions infrastructure analysis concluded that the existing spatial plans, in which renewable energy sources and hydrogen are still rarely mentioned or limited to onshore projects, highlight the need for clearer strategic direction and alignment with European decarbonization goals. Both Italy and Croatia face similar challenges, particularly in harmonizing national energy planning with Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) and recognizing the offshore wind and green hydrogen potential of the Adriatic Sea. \nConsidering regulatory and institutional framework, in Italy, the hydrogen sector is undergoing rapid development, yet still faces challenges such as fragmented regulation, lengthy permitting procedures, and uncertainties regarding the integration of hydrogen into existing gas networks. However, recent measures, including the simplification of authorization procedures for renewable hydrogen facilities and exemptions from grid fees for renewable electricity used in electrolysis, indicate gradual improvement of the regulatory framework. By extending measures like those applied for offshore wind projects up to 50 MW, Italy can further accelerate hydrogen deployment and attract new investments. Croatia, on the other hand, is still in the early stages of developing its national hydrogen strategy, which provides an opportunity for timely removal of regulatory barriers and strengthening institutional capacities. Parallel to the development of national infrastructure, it is essential to plan for cross-border energy integration, given the shared Adriatic space.\nD 1.4.2 Pilot regions preliminary fishing and aquaculture potential analysis\nhis constitutes a preliminary analysis of the fishing and aquaculture potential in the four pilot regions, which will inform discussions with stakeholders on the value of the areas under investigation. The analysis considers the maximum available current and future production potential in the regions to calculate the potential sector value. The report is based on existing data at the highest possible resolution and is prepared for integration into the BEYOND GIS platform.This information will be essential in the next steps of the project to determine the potential impacts of offshore wind farms (OWF), in relation to environmental issues, marine ecosystem-specific requirements, and the benefits to other blue economy sectors, particularly fishing and aquaculture. The results may be used to identify optimal OWF locations. \nD 2.1.1 Guidelines for sustainable OWF planning recomend proposals and instruction for future development of offshore wind use sector in Adriatic regions in sustainable way that should seek to avoid confrontations and establish connections with both environment and other blue economy sectors. \nGuidelines present model that is established to satisfy two main demands:\n1. Protection of marine ecosystem \n2. Optimization of economic and financial performance potential blue economy sectors.\nModel aims to create synergies and co-dependency’s between various blue economy sectors, most notable offshore wind energy production, aquaculture and fishing, but also with interest of other sectors, both well-developed ones such as tourism and coming ones based on new technologies such as green hydrogen production. Guidelines represent solution that will be tested and improved upon on the basis of four pilot actions carried out in activity 2.2. \nThe guidelines consolidate and critically analyze the results of Activities 1.3 and 1.4 in order to transform technical findings into actionable proposals for policymakers, developers, and stakeholders. \nD 3.1.2 Transregional SBE labs report – Second Transregional SBE lab that was organized at 14.05.2025. in Bari. On May 14, 2025, the BEYOND project partners convened in Bari, Puglia,for the 2nd Transregional SBE Lab. The event centered on transregional exchange around sustainable blue economy synergies and offshore wind futures, featuring presentations on offshore wind technology, power grid integration, marine ecosystem analysis, and best practices, followed by open discussions and networking to foster future collaboration.\nTwo Regional SBE labs were organized;  by LP-IRENA and by PP4 - Region of Puglia. PP5 and PP7-PP8  plan to organize their second labs in Period 4.\n\nAlso, PP started working on multiple other deliverables that will be finalized in PR4 or later stages of the project.\nRegarding communication, CM posted news on project websites.","Zagreb, Padova, Rovigo, Split, Bari, Rijeka, Sgonico (TS), Labin","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},8]
["ITHR0200316","Reducing Food Waste and its Environmental Footprint through Sustainable Food Systems","Food waste is a major contributor to environmental pollution and has far-reaching impacts on our planet. It is now evident that food waste is a key determinant of, inter alia, the loss of biodiversity, the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the waste and pollution of water, soil and other resources. Thus, it is a necessary systemic approach to structural prevention and reduction and therefore the cross border cooperation is mandatory and must be part of a wider set of synergic initiatives. Wasting food is not only an ethical and economic issue but it also depletes the environment of limited natural resources. Additionally, methane emissions from improper food waste management cause high greenhouse gas emissions. According to Wrap (The Waste and Resources Action Programme) each ton of wasted food is responsible for \n\n4.5 tonnes of CO\n\n2.\nThere are several common challenges that the project will need to tackle. One such challenge is the lack of a coordinated approach on a political level to tackle the issue of food waste. This can make it difficult to develop effective local strategies and initiatives to reduce food waste. Another challenge is the lack of educational programs focused on preventing food waste. Many people may not be aware of the impacts of food waste on the environment and may not know how to reduce their own food waste. Finally, changing people's behaviour and attitudes towards food waste can be difficult, and this can be a major challenge in reducing food waste. \nECOFOODCYCLE project will address the food waste issues by promoting sustainable practices and solutions for improving food waste prevention and management in selected Programme areas which will lead to a reduction of environmental impacts (especially in GHG emissions). Project results will contribute to raising knowledge and implementation capacity regarding food waste management of all target groups along the whole food supply chain (including private persons, local authorities, gastronomes, retailers, teachers, waste management authorities, etc.). A real change in the prevention and reduction of food waste along the Adriatic basin will be reached by the following:\n- Implementation of different pilot actions and various awareness-raising events;\n- Establishment of an appropriate cross-border Adriatic stakeholder network;\n- Implementation of a web-based support tool tailored to different users to provide best practice guidelines and training.\nThe focus on the regions of the Adriatic basin is new and not least due to the common cultural and culinary roots reasonable. The innovative approach is not only to focus either on food waste prevention or waste treatment but to see waste management as a whole following the waste hierarchy as described in the European waste framework directive.\nCross-border cooperation is crucial to achieving the project objectives and results because food waste is a complex issue that transcends national borders and requires a coordinated effort to address. While each country and region may have its own unique challenges and solutions for managing food waste, a collaborative approach is necessary to develop sustainable waste management practices and raise awareness about the environmental impact of food waste. The benefits of taking a cross-border approach are numerous for project partners, target groups, project areas, and programme areas. These benefits include increased knowledge sharing and learning, more effective use of resources; changing mindset, greater visibility and reach; innovation and improved economic and environmental outcomes: By reducing food waste, the project can help to protect the environment, conserve resources, and reduce economic losses, to benefit both project partners and the wider community in the Programme area.","2024-04-01","2026-09-30","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

["ITHR0200497","Nature based solutions for flood prevention","We are witnessing the impacts of climate change on a daily basis. Extreme weather effects such as floods, heatwaves, costal erosion and damages caused to agriculture and infrastructure is becoming increasingly common. Even though great efforts are being made to combat climate change through mitigation, these actions will not suffice, more activities in the field of climate change adaptation and resilience are needed. Unfortunately, adaptation and resilience are still not fully understood and are rarely implemented in a systemic and coordinated way, actions are mostly taken reactively. Local and regional governments do not have the capacity to develop high quality Climate change adaptation and resilience strategies, nor do they have the needed resources to adequatly prepare projects for the deployment of suitable measures. \n\nThe AcquaGuard project aims to tackle these issues and support two regions, one in Croatia and one in Italy, in the set-up and development of a systemic approach to dealing with flooding and the damages it causes. The project will build on the outputs and learnings from the STREAM project, financed by the Italy-Croatia Interreg programme 2014-2020, to assess key climate hazards responsible for flooding in the Karlovac County and Veneto regions and identify and set-up investment ready nature based solutions to combat these hazards.\n\nTo do so, the project will:\n-\tDevelop a climate risk database relevant to the project are as well as specific risk databases for the two project regions;\n-\tDevelop a database of nature based solutions to combat, primarily, flood risks;\n-\tDevelop and implement a decision support matrix for the prioritization of actions for risk and hazard mitigation;\n-\tCo-create prioritization strategies for flooding risk mitigation for the project regions;\n-\tDevelop studies and technical documentation for key measures and projects identified in the prioritization strategies;\n-\tPrepare the ground for the deployment of the selected measures and project by integrating them in key strategic and planning documents on the local and regional levels;\n-\tIdentify potential funding and financing sources for the realization of the identified measures and projects;\n-\tBuild capacity with the local and regional governments in the aspects of climate change adaptation and resilience, development of climate risk profiles and climate risk mitigation prioritization strategies;\n-\tEngage and raise the awareness of all key stakeholders at the local, regional and national levels;\n-\tEnsure the long term exploitation of the project outputs and setup the long term monitoring of its results.\n\nThe cross-border cooperation will enable the AcquaGuard consortium to leverage the knowledge, learnings and best practices in terms of the planning, development and deployment of nature based solutions and flood protection from both sides of the Mediterranean Sea. The project will foster a joint development approach with regards to the project methodology and tools and will rely on co-creation and co-development with all relevant stakeholders in the project regions. Finally, the cooperation of different regions from different member states facing similar issues and challenges will empower the consortium to deliver meaningful change in terms of policy governing the need to combat the identified risks and hazards on all levels.\n\nThe proposed approach which relies on the utilization of nature based solutions for the combating of flood risks as well as builds on the results of previous actions funded under the Italy-Croatia Interreg programme provides a novel set of solutions with significant potential for synergies. The reliance on nature based solutions as opposed to conventional construction, will provide additional benefits in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as biodiversity. The utilization of natural solutions will provide the project regions and all future replicators with additional carbon sinks, elements to reduce heat islands and natural coverage for the development of flora and fauna. Besides this, the proposed approach addresses the entire solution chain from the initial planning to the integration with strategic and spatial plans and the development of technical documentation to the identification of finances and future monitoring. With this method, the AcquaGuard project will provide a systemic and fully integrated solution to the regions flooding challenges.","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

Partners and local actors worked together towards the main project RESULTS: accessible tourism experiences such as events, multisensory tours, educational services for disabled tourists and digital tools to increase accessibility to cultural sites, ensuring that tourism experiences include everyone having the chance to enjoy tourism based on their unique needs. \n\n \n\nCReAIT was a collaborative journey, built on professional relationships and close cooperation between organizations supporting vulnerable tourists and tourism businesses. The co-development and co-creation approach were fundamental to enhance tourism services and to make them accessible to everyone, regardless of abilities or limitations. \n\nThrough training sessions, the actors involved gained a greater awareness of diversity and learned to co-create solutions at a shared table. Results of this cooperation were eight micro-projects, tourism experiences implemented in the two target cities by organizations from both the social and private sectors. \n\nOne of these consisted of the creation of an educational outreach service, led by professional educators placed in a holiday center and 4-star hotels. All tourists involved in this experimental service were thrilled and reported experiencing the holiday in an atmosphere where hospitality, respect, dialogue, and relief were the key words. This service was highly appreciated and involved several beneficiaries who often experience the long-awaited holiday not as something to 'live,' but rather something to 'organize.' \n\nA two-day event named “Inclusiveness on the Move” was organized, with the Adriatic Sea as a backdrop. Many people with disabilities enjoyed the experiences through “special needs boats and bikes.” This event not only enriched the summer city tourist program but also highlighted a potential social need to focus on. A participant said that she had travelled almost 150km to allow her daughter, who has a severe motor impairment, the chance to go on the boat tour and treat herself to a different day amidst sunshine and smiles. Other experiences focused on sensory communication and promoted the improvement of sign language and tactile experiences. Multisensory experiences were included in the Palazzo dei Priori (City of Fermo) and Kamerlengo Castle (City of Trogir), designed to enhance both the navigation and the overall experience of the cultural sites for individuals with perceptual disabilities, such as those with visual or auditory impairments. \n\n \n\nThe project legacy consists of the commitment to plans for the coming years (2025 and beyond), including extending summer services, creating new ways to experience museums and planning new joint projects. A strategy was elaborated and endorsed by partners, Italian and Croatian stakeholders, outlining a set of possible actions to be implemented so that the CReAIT project can leave a lasting mark and ensure continuity in its work. The strategy focused on long-term goals, fostering a space for creativity and collaborative actions that adhere to EU values and principles, based on three key areas: \n\nStrengthening cooperation between partners and territories. \n\nRaising awareness and providing training to promote truly inclusive and accessible tourism. \n\nEmpowering communities and expanding the network to include more Adriatic municipalities and organizations. \n\nThanks to the cross-border network effort, partners and local stakeholders experienced firsthand the importance of cooperation, which transcends geographical borders and can develop innovative solutions for common problems and challenges. \n\n \n","Trogir, Split, Fermo, Ancona","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},4]
["ITHR0200313","Shaping Inclusive Tourist Experiences","The SITE project faces as a common territorial challenge the diversification of tourist flows through the promotion of a more inclusive tourism ecosystem. In Europe, as well as in the Program Area, 25% of the adult population have some form of disability and the old-age index is 136 old people for every 100 young people, and these numbers are increasing. Moreover, almost everyone sooner or later in life experiences, directly or indirectly, difficulties related to permanent disabilities, temporary or situational circumstances, with the risk of being excluded from full participation in society and from travel because of the lack of accessible information, services and facilities. The raising demand for accessible tourism tailored to accommodate the highest number of people represents a key driver for this economic sector and a great business opportunity: more inclusive tourist destinations allow to expand and diversify the number of customers (including people with special needs and requirements such as families, children, elderly, and with disabilities) and overcome the seasonality of tourism flows.\n\nThe SITE project aims to increase the attractiveness of tourist destinations in the Programme area and to foster tourism across the year through the cross-border dissemination of the culture of Universal Design (UD) in the tourism ecosystem by promoting social inclusion, participation and sharing also using ICTs to reduce barriers (architectural, sensorial, communicative) that limit access to people with disabilities or other needs, as families and the elderly, favoring non-discriminatory solutions.\n\nProject beneficiaries belong not only to tourist offer (professionals, private and public providers in the tourism industry who can increase the attractiveness of their services) and demand (tourists who can find more welcoming and inclusive destinations) representatives, but also to higher education and research organizations and NGOs (one of them participates in the project as Associated Partner). \n\nProject activities will lead to different outputs: training activities and cross-border visits to align the partnership and build in the Programme area an educated community on UD culture; tools such a catalog of theories and practices on UD , handbooks, and assessment instruments upon which a methodology to analyze, evaluate and manage a co-design process to improve multi-level accessibility in terms of communication, wayfinding and public spaces also through ICT is derived. This strategy is tested through the development and implementation of pilot actions to deliver four inclusive and innovative solutions. Project outputs and results are expected to provide useful indications to other tourist destinations (within and outside the Programme area) for the ex-ante and ex-post evaluation and enhancement of accessibility interventions respecting the UD approach.\n\nThe project approach is centered on UD as a framework to create accessible, usable and understandable environments by the greatest number of people independently from their specific characteristics and abilities. UD principles will be the common thread with which to conduct research activities, accessibility assessment and co-design of innovative solutions for the creation of more inclusive tourist destinations, to go beyond the concept of disability of a person and focusing on the disabling environments (UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 2006). The project, following a participatory approach, will involve all partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries in a co-design process to develop more inclusive and place-based solutions, to raise awareness and to strengthen their analytical, management and design skills. The project setting approach symbolically follows what a tourist destination should do to become universally welcoming, focusing on three key moments in a tourist experience: the search for information before the departure, the ability to orient oneself once at the destination, and the possibility to enjoy public spaces or services. Through academic and market research, participatory workshops, joint analysis, study visits, hackathon and training the partnership will develop a joint strategy and innovative solutions and tools for enhancing accessibility in different contexts (transport hubs, museums, seashores, historical hamlets).\n\nThe tourist locations in the program area face increasingly similar challenges and therefore a cross-border approach is needed in the exchange of information, expertise and good practices for the promotion of a global view to tourist accessibility, which does not yet exist between Italy and Croatia.\n\nTo the best of our knowledge, it is the first time not only in the Programme (cross-border) area but also at the transnational and inter-regional level that the shaping of inclusive tourist destinations and experiences looks for the benefits that can be obtained only by following the UD principles.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_4) Culture and tourism for sustainable development","RSO4.6.

The adoption of UD in tourism is essential to ensure the creation of inclusive and high-quality travel experiences. This approach not only benefits people with special needs, but also improves the overall travel experience for all, thereby supporting the broader goals of sustainable tourism development.\n\nGiven that UD culture is not yet firmly established in Italy, Croatia, or other European countries, it was necessary to develop and provide an overview of the state of the art and systemise the most up-to-date knowledge relating to the following elements: meaning of accessible tourism and tourism for all; universal design and its applicability; past projects and best practices; instruments to be adopted for the programmed activities.\n \nThe activities resulted in an analysis of demand and the necessity to implement UD in the context of tourism. In particular, the groups of people who would derive the greatest benefit from the adoption of UD were identified. 1) People with disabilities and impairments, who represent a substantial and growing demographic within the tourism sector. This group includes individuals with mobility issues, sensory impairments, cognitive disabilities, and other conditions that can affect their travel experience.\n2. The elderly. The global population of the elderly is growing rapidly. By 2050, it is projected that one in six individuals will be aged 65 or above. This demographic is of particular importance to the tourism industry, as older adults often have the time and resources to travel.\n3) Families with children represent a significant segment of the tourism market. Travelling with children, especially young ones, presents unique challenges that can be alleviated through UD.\n4) People with food allergies and special dietary requirements represent an important and often overlooked demographic in the tourism sector. This group includes individuals who must adhere to specific dietary restrictions due to allergies, intolerances, or health conditions. Each partner provided materials and data useful for the study of the current situation.\n\nAn overview of tourism trends since the onset of the COVID pandemic was also provided, noting a shift towards more responsible, sustainable, and quality tourism. There is a growing focus on quality, inclusive and sustainable tourism experiences. Accessible tourism is regarded as a model for future development, offering support to sustainable businesses and providing quality experiences for all travellers.\n\nA study was also conducted to assess the promotion of destinations that have committed to becoming more inclusive by adopting an UD approach. This outlined a conceptual model for moving from an 'ordinary' to an accessible/inclusive destination, and highlighted the importance of developing promotional tools. \n\nIt was also beneficial to understand the experiences of previous EU-funded projects in accessible tourism, which have primarily focused on the target group of persons with disabilities, with some projects also addressing the elderly or children. It is notable that few of the projects mapped are fully aligned with the UD approach. However, without applying it to the entire tourism experience, as SITE intends to do, this will remain a challenge. This is a crucial point, as it allows for experimentation with new methods and the discovery of innovative accessibility strategies that are inclusive of all.\n\nThe development of assessment methods and tools to investigate the accessibility of pilot sites has enabled a comparison of different methodologies and approaches typically used in other countries where UD culture is already established. This has highlighted a number of critical issues that we will seek to avoid in SITE. \n\nThe activities, managed by LP as coordinator of WP1 and VEASYT as coordinator of WP2, were carried out thanks to the contribution of all partners, who provided valuable input in the form of knowledge, data and references. This enabled the team to keep track of the state of the art and to correctly set all tools.\n\nAt last, all management activities for the establishment of the project and its subsequent operation were completed in a timely manner. Additionally, considerable effort was dedicated to the implementation of effective communication strategies, encompassing the creation of dedicated accounts on key social media platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, specifically for the project.  \nThis reporting period has been dedicated to the following activities carried out in cooperation: 1st visit to Fano; 1st visit to Sibenik; UD Training in Venice; webinar on UD. In addition, PPs participated in several other events where they disseminated the SITE project.\n\n1st visit to Fano (12-13 September) was the first workshop planned and described in A2.3 to map the current situation of the pilot, to check adherence with UD principles of some specific elements, and to co-design improvements. The workshop has been organized by UNITS in collaboration with MoF, who hosted the activities. Two preliminary meetings were held with CMI as communication manager to agree on the following: agenda, areas and elements to be mapped according to AF, characteristics of the venue that would host the workshop, materials to be produced also to communicate and spread the event. UNITS prepared all materials for conducting the various steps during the two days. All PPs actively participated in the assessment and analysis of the real conditions of the areas, also providing useful insights for co-design. All the materials collected (answers to surveys, completed grids, post-its collected during co-design and all posters) were analysed and recorded in a dedicated report (and will be part of D 2.3.1), which contains a description of the activities and all the data.\n\nCROssing-ITA-SLOwly organised in Brussels (9 October 2024) UNITS took part to the event organized by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Local Policies and the Committee of the Regions, to foster innovative collaboration between different programmes (Interreg Ita-Slo, Interreg Ita-Cro) and to promote synergies.\n\n1st visit to Sibenik (17-18 October) was the second workshop organized in collaboration with CoS, PP who hosted the two-days activities. As in Fano, the planning of activities and communication were agreed with UNITS and CMI. All PPs actively participated in the assessment and analysis of the real conditions of the areas, also providing useful insights for co-design. All the materials collected were analysed and recorded in a dedicated report (and will be part of D 2.3.1), which contains a description of the activities and all the data.\n\nAdriatic Sea Forum (25 October 2024): CMI participated at the RoundTable 1 – Sustainable Maritime Tourism, presenting the SITE project and UD principles to stakeholders.\n\nUniversal Design International Conference held in Oslo (20-22 November) was the first opportunity to present SITE at a scientific conference (activity foreseen in WP4, specifically in D 4.2.1). UNITS presented a paper titled “Universal Design to build a more inclusive touristic ecosystem. The SITE project approach” with a dedicated speech as part of a panel on Tourism at the conference. The paper was published in the Conference Compendium of the Seventh \nInternational Conference on Universal Design (UD2024), Shaping a Sustainable, Equitable and Resilient Future for All.\n\nTraining on UD: in November (26-28) VEASYT hosted all the project partners in Venice for an internal training on UD, then in the meeting agenda was also included a public event to disseminate the SITE project and the principles on which it is based, starting from the UD principle but also with the presentation of some useful tools for effective communication using easy language. The agenda was agreed with UNITS, which took responsibility for the more specific content on UD theory, while VEASYT took care of the communication content. The external training session was attended by the contact persons from the Veneto Region Managing Authority who, given the topics covered were of great interest and versatility, asked UNITS to organise a webinar for beneficiaries of other Interreg projects working on sustainable tourism. \n\nOn 21 February UNITS therefore organized a morning webinar on UD attended by around 70 external participants.\n\nAlthough some activities will start in P3, PPs in coordination with UNITS also focused on the preparation of elements for WP3 and WP4 for creating the basis for key deliverables that will be produced there. VEASYT is working on text and language simplification of the materials provided by the PP. DURA and DBV started planning activities for the first visit to Dubrovnik (31-3rd April). MoF and CoS started with a market research among different technicians to be involved in planning the investments in the pilot area identified on the basis of the process and results of the Activity in WP3. CMI created a questionnaire to assess stakeholders' knowledge of UD. The questionnaire will be distributed in P3 to enhance awareness and dissemination efforts. FTHM started to prepare scientific publication, by presenting and submitting abstracts to scientific journals or for presentation at scientific conferences, all in line with the planned activity A4.2 and corresponding deliverable.\nThis reporting period has been dedicated to the following activities carried out through cross-border cooperation: 1st visit to Dubrovnik; UD webinar on Effective Communication; organization of the Hackathon planned for the fourth period. In addition, PPs participated in several other events as documented in the 3rd communication report. Although some activities will be carried out in P4, PPs in coordination with UNITS also focused on the preparation of elements for WP3 and WP4 for creating the basis for key deliverables that will be produced there and in P5.\n\n1st visit to Dubrovnik (1-3 April 2025) was the third workshop organized in collaboration with DURA and DBV, PPs who hosted the three-days activities. As in Fano, the planning of activities and communication were agreed with UNITS and CMI. All PPs actively participated in the assessment and analysis of the real conditions of the areas, also providing useful insights for co-design. All the materials collected were analysed and recorded in a dedicated report (and are part of D 2.3.1), which contains a description of the activities and all the data.\n\nTraining on UD (10 June 2025). UNITS, CMI and Veasyt organized the second webinar on UD and Effective Communcation attended by around 33 participants.\n\nMid-Term Review (24 July 2025) all PPs contributed to the preparation of the meeting which took place online.\n\nDissemination: UNITS + CMI were involved in organising and managing a scientific dissemination event as part of the Trieste NEXT festival which took place at the beginning of P4. FTHM and UNITS continues to prepare scientific publication, by presenting and submitting abstracts to scientific journals or for presentation at scientific conferences, all in line with the planned activity A4.2 and corresponding deliverable. FTHM presented SITE project also by promoting the scientific book devoted to the accessible tourism “Breaking barriers : designing inclusive tourist destinations” ((https://urn.nsk.hr/urn:nbn:hr:191:906613).\n\nTGs meetings: PPs conducted meetings with local and regional authorities as target groups and introduced them to SITE project and expected results in order to initiate cooperation on future implementation of UD principles in planning of tourism and other infrastructure. \n\nPPs linked to pilots continued with market research for investment planning and implementation of works in the pilot area identified based on the process and results of the activity in WP3.","Opatija, FANO, Venezia, Trieste, Cilipi, Dubrovnik, Šibenik","HR, IT",null,"Hrvatska (HR), Dubrovnik, Od Rupa, 3, 20000\nHrvatska (HR), Čilipi, Dobrota, 24, 20213\n",null,null,null,8]
["ITHR0400375","BRAND NEW ADRIATIC - European Management Skills for Newcomers","The project \"Brand New Adriatic, European management skills for newcomers (BNA)\" aim to challenge the great difficulty to enter in the European Project design of the small public institution and organization of the partner rural and inland territories of Molise, Abruzzo and Istria County and in general in the programme area. Lack of network, poor resource for training and under-skilled staff represent the reason behind the missing of opportunities. One common challenge is opening opportunities for Local Authorities and small organizations to cooperate across the boarding. The multi-level governance represents the key strategy for implementing the Territorial Agenda 2030 and the Cohesion Policy for the programming period 2021–2027; when it comes to the “territorial governance” the risk of fragmentation becomes higher. Four main gaps has been identified in the partner territorial governance to improve participation in European Project in rural and inland areas: \n\n1. Information gap Information \n\n2. Capacity gap (Ability to act) Insufficient scientific, technical, and infrastructural capacity of local actors \n\n3. Administrative gap \n\n4. Accountability gap.\nThe overall objective of BNA project is the organization of trainings course in partner countries to develop skills among the territorial public governance in the field of euro planning (writing, management, dissemination, reporting) and to connect municipalities and micro enterprises across borders with the creation of a Cross Border Cluster. \nExpected changes 1) BNA project will raise the number new institution and some and association that will cooperate across the border with the creation of a cross border cluster. Small territorial reality doesn’t allow a big network and a big fund possibility. European Found can be crucial to improve public service and organization to be able to create and funding new idea that can impact positively on the small reality that are away from big city, where the cultural proposal is not to big, there are no found to improve service in accessibility, o to create a more sustainable business. Cluster will help organizations with finding opportunities, training, assistance, and networking. 2) Capacity building will increase skills of local public authorities and organizations staff in Euro Project Design, planning and management. Such training course can respond to the increasingly pressing demand from by local institutions, businesses, non-profit organizations, ecc. in the field of training and education at all levels, for European funds to initiate or implement the supply and quality of their own services.\nThe main output is a Brand New Adriatic cross border cluster. The cross border European social cluster can guarantee the need of institutional support for small municipalities and organization as a working cloud and local solution, the establishing of a stable network of partners and a referring point to organize training and events that represents opportunity to public body and organizations. Territorial public governance very often do not have the resources and skills to succeed in intercepting European funds, to deal with multi-level governance administrative issues, nor do they have the skills to succeed in creating cross border partnerships.\nWith organization cooperating among the borders the territory can improve his social cultural and economic offers. Dissemination can give more relevance of European institution in small local public authority and small organizations. A cross border approach is needed to create the BNAdriatic Cross Border social cluster. The activities of the project are focused on the creation of a cross border cluster for small reality, cross border cluster that can give institutional support and training and networking, gaining strength to different skill among partners and with remote working do deal with difficulties of project call. In 2020 Eu funded an Interreg Seed call to pilot a “Social entrepreneurship incubator call” winner is project LIASED, to create an European cluster of enterprises . The creation of cross border cluster that can be useful to start a more complex network of little reality cooperating on the web.

The problem? A lack of specialized knowledge in European project management and multilevel collaboration. This gap left many initiatives underdeveloped and hindered the growth and cohesion of communities across borders.\nThe BNA Project—short for Brand New Adriatic – European Management Skills for New Users—set out to change that narrative. With a clear mission, the project tackled the issue head-on by designing and implementing a targeted capacity-building program. Its goal: to empower public administrators, NGOs, and training associations with the necessary skills to manage complex projects and build enduring partnerships across borders.\nAt the heart of the solution was structured training that didn't just deliver knowledge but transformed it into practical skills. This hands-on learning enabled participants to confidently navigate the intricacies of European funding mechanisms and project design. A key innovation of the project was the creation of the BNA Cluster—a sustainable, cross-border network that united Italian and Croatian stakeholders under a shared vision.\nCooperation was the project's cornerstone. Italian and Croatian partners worked hand in hand, exchanging best practices, pooling resources, and learning from each other's experiences. This synergy enriched the program and ensured it reflected the real, on-the-ground needs of both regions. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding further solidified this collaboration, laying the groundwork for continued partnership beyond the project’s lifespan.\nThe impact of the BNA Project was tangible and transformative. Local communities are now better equipped to design and implement cross-border projects. Administrative hurdles are being dismantled, and previously underrepresented municipalities and NGOs are finding their voice—and their partners—on the European stage.\nPerhaps most importantly, the project fostered a mindset shift: from isolation to integration, from local focus to regional vision. The BNA Cluster stands as a living legacy of this change, offering ongoing support and collaboration opportunities for those striving for a more connected and prosperous Adriatic region.\nLooking ahead, while the project has closed an important gap, challenges remain. Sustaining momentum, adapting to evolving EU frameworks, and scaling the model to other regions will be key. Yet the path is clearer now, and the opportunities—especially for small municipalities and civil society groups—are more accessible than ever.\n","Rovinj, Spoltore, Červar-Porat, Poreč, CAMPOBASSO","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},4]
["ITHR0200425","Integrated waste reduction strategies and solutions in protected and Natura 2000 areas","THE COMMON CHALLENGE OF THE PROGRAMME AREA\nWASTEREDUCE is the first Interreg Italy-Croatia project that supports EU and local environmental protection policies and practices related to waste management in protected areas and Natura 2000 sites. The cross-border challenge is reducing waste's impact on green and blue areas and improving waste management in protected and Natura 2000 areas. The emphasis is on aquatic and coastal areas, specifically vulnerable areas affected by anthropogenic waste.\nWASTEREDUCE brings together eight key public and private partners from Italy and Croatia. With their knowledge, experience, and the transfer of knowledge on this subject, the partnership will work in synergy to fight against pollution, i.e., reduce the impact of waste on the environment of protected and Natura 2000 areas and, indirectly, to preserve their ecosystems.\n\nTHE OVERALL PROJECT'S OBJECTIVE AND THE EXPECTED CHANGE THIS PROJECT WILL MAKE\nThe Project aims to improve waste management in protected areas and Natura 2000 sites by implementing concrete and joint actions to address the waste phenomenon from different angles and intervention methods. To this end, the Project will implement concrete actions to monitor, prevent, reduce, and mitigate waste's impact. The expected change includes a) improving the existing waste management policies and practices, b) raising awareness and changing visitors' and other stakeholders' behavior, c) reducing the environmental, socio-economic costs of waste management and related impacts, d) improving the cooperation between stakeholders at the cross-border, national, regional and local levels in the field of waste management.\n\nOUTPUTS AND ITS BENEFICIARIES\nThe main outputs will be:\na) joint reports, policies, strategies, and solutions for monitoring, preventing, reducing and mitigating waste's impact in protected and Natura 2000 areas\nb) pilot-protected areas and Natura 2000 sites with implemented WASTEREDUCE approach to waste prevention and reduction\nc) participatory waste governance and awareness-raising/capacity-building activities, \nd) network of protected areas and Natura 2000 sites and key stakeholders, and the waste management mechanism where WASTEREDUCE approach is replicated\n\nThe Project will directly or indirectly address the needs of a wide range of target groups at cross-border, national, regional, and local levels (public authorities, sectoral agencies, enterprises except for SME and SMEs, higher education and research organizations, interest groups including NGOs, the general public). The Project's end users are institutions managing and operating in protected and Natura 2000 areas and visitors.\n\nWASTEREDUCE APPROACH\nThe Project will develop, test and implement a new, integrated participatory, and holistic landscape-level WASTEREDUCE approach, adapted to the specificities of protected and Natura 2000 areas to minimize the harmful effects of waste with specific regards to rivers and coastal areas. The approach will follow the impact mitigation hierarchy, working on four levels to achieve integrated waste management: Measuring, Avoiding/Preventing, Reducing, and Mitigating the impact of waste. The four levels will integrate governance, socio-economic, technological, and cultural domains to achieve the expected results. \n\nA CROSS-BORDER APPROACH\nItaly and Croatia share the Adriatic sea but also challenges/problems such as its pollution. Due to the increasing number of visitors, waste in protected and Natura 2000 areas accumulates on land uncontrollably and leads primarily to environmental pollution of these areas (green areas). Furthermore, waste (e.g., carried by the river and created by coastal tourism) often goes into the Adriatic Sea, severely threatening the aquatic environment (blue areas).\nThis problem is one of the most significant environmental problems with cross-border effects, and there is a need for joint waste management. Cross-border cooperation is vital as any waste reduction measure in common Adriatic sea areas must be cross-border coordinated to avoid one-sided approaches that are not efficient and could potentially endanger the other side.\n\nPROJECT ORIGINALITY\nThe Project is original due to its comprehensiveness in terms of the following:\n\n\n1.\tspatial coverage (terrestrial, freshwater, marine and coastal areas)\n\n\n2.\tthe scope of measures covering a) the four-level approach to waste management (monitoring, prevention, reduction, and mitigation) applied at the landscape level (it's the first time looking at diffuse source waste pollution, using a landscape level approach and not only the point source level), b) different levels of analysis (policies, behaviors, technologies, communication), and various actions\n\n\n3.\tcollaboration (institutions that manage protected and Natura 2000 areas; protected and Natura 2000 areas management authorities with waste utilities, academic institutions, local, regional and national authorities, business companies and NGOs)","2024-02-01","2026-07-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.7.

We achieved and exceeded many communication targets. So far, we engaged 102 stakeholders, 24 in Period 1 and 78 in Period 2, from Italy and Croatia. All partners together reached the target values for all target groups. In total, we have involved 103883 targets (institutions, bodies, individuals).\n\nThe project aims to establish new waste management solutions, detailed in a report that encompasses methodologies, research, and community involvement regarding waste issues. \nReports in this WP will consolidate all knowledge, documents, and achievements from the project so far. Seven deliverables (D1.6.1., D2.7.1., D2.13.4., D2.13.5., D2.15.1., D2.15.2., D2.15.3) were shifted from Period 3 to the Period 4.\n\nOutput 1.1, Cross-border participative strategy designed to prevent and reduce waste in protected and Natura 2000 areas, is completed in the Period 2. \n\nIn the WP 2 four outputs are predicted. Their progress is described below.\nOutput 2.1 Training tours and workshops through the organization of excursions in the pilot areas has been finalized in the third period.\nOutput 2.2 Waste reduction action plan is in progress, but its delivery has been postponed to a later stage. The development of the Action Plan was too early, as the Action Plan should also incorporate the results of the following activities and deliverables whose delivery is in the next (4th) period: D.2.8.1, D2.9.1, D2.11.1, D2.16.1, A2.14 and 2.15. This will not affect the whole realization of the project and will contribute to the more quality realization of the Action Plan.\nIn order to reach the Output 2.3 Established pilot-protected and Natura 2000 areas that have implemented the WASTEREDUCE approach all the activities on the pilot areas must be completed.\nOutput 2.4 Report on methodologies, research and solutions on the waste issues and involvement of civil society foreseen for the period 4 is a collection of documents created during all previous periods.\n\nSpecific objective „implementation and test of best practices and identified approaches“ was partly achieved through P3. We produced through deliverables the following documents: D2.5.1, D2.6.1, D2.10.4, D2.10.3, D2.13.1, D2.13.2, and D2.13.3. Several activities still need to be completed in the upcoming period to finalize the S.O. The deliverables that will further contribute to the achievement of this specific objective are planned for the fourth reporting period (D2.7.1, D2.8.1, D2.9.1, D2.13.5, D2.14.1, D2.18.1, D2.18) and the fifth period (D2.13.4).\n\nRegarding communication efforts, IPTPO has implemented the Communication and Dissemination Plan, and all activities outlined in the plan have been carried out successfully. We achieved and exceeded many communication targets. So far, we engaged 120 stakeholders, 24 in Period 1, 78 in Period 2, and 18 in Period 3 from Italy and Croatia. All partners together reached the target values for all target groups. In total, we have involved 470 975 targets (institutions, bodies, individuals).\n\nDuring the P3, the project focused on improving coordination, communication, and outreach. WP1 activities concentrated on maintaining coordinated project implementation, including compiling a database of waste accumulation sites and types (D1.9.2) and producing a brochure presenting project achievements as a cross-border communication tool (D1.12.1). WP2 emphasized awareness-raising, stakeholder engagement, and field monitoring through educational excursions (D2.5.1), stakeholder analyses (D2.6.1), ecological days, plogging races, seabed clean-ups (D2.10.1–D2.10.3), and gastronomic events (D2.10.5). Key achievements also include updating the project’s website (D2.3.1), quality assurance documents (D2.2.1–D2.2.4), and stakeholder database (D2.3.2). Media visibility increased via newsletters (D2.12.1), press releases (D2.12.3), and social media posts (D2.3.4). Innovative monitoring methods, such as video surveillance (D2.13.1), image analysis, and satellite imagery (D2.13.3), were tested and implemented to track waste in pilot areas, supporting joint methodologies and cross-border impact. The stakeholders have increased in the third period reaching the total of 120.\n\nDuring the P3 the project achieved progress toward its specific objectives, delivering key outputs that include educational and professional excursions, stakeholder analyses, formal agreements with municipalities and associations, and seabed cleaning activities in Natura 2000 protected areas. Innovative monitoring methods were implemented, such as video surveillance to combat illegal waste dumping, image analysis of waste disposal sites, and the development and testing of satellite-based marine monitoring techniques. The main output delivered in P3 was Output 2.1 – Training tours and workshops.\n\nThe cross-border added value was achieved through shared pilot actions and the transfer of best practices, supported by activities such as educational excursions (D2.5.1) in Natura 2000 areas and stakeholder analyses (D2.6.1) to identify effective waste reduction measures.\n\n","Pula, Split, Padova, Cittadella (PD), Trieste, Poreč","HR, IT",null,"Italia (IT), BASSANO DEL GRAPPA - VICENZA, LARGO PAROLINI, 82/5, 36061\n",null,null,null,8]
["ITHR0200175","impRoving landslidE riSk preventiOn aNd mAnagement iN Coastal arEas","Landslides and erosion processes have an important impact on coastal areas of the Adriatic Region. These phenomena represent an important risk for humans and infrastructures and might also have negative impact for tourism, thus regional economy. Being controlled by many factors, the analysis of these processes is a complex task, especially considering the effect of climate changing. In this context, RESONANCE aims to decrease the risk for humans and infrastructures by improving the understanding about the factors controlling coastal landslides and erosion processes in the Adriatic region and, at the same time, the civil protection procedures/guidelines. The project will take advantage of the recent advancements on the fields of geophysics, remote sensing, computational analysis and virtual-mixed-augmented reality (VR, MR and AR), and will be developed through the following stages: i) Select four representative pilot case studies (two in the Italian and two in the Croatian coasts) to be used as pilot test sites where to develop a multidisciplinary and multitemporal survey system (the pilot areas will be selected in four regions of the Adriatic area commonly affected by landslides/erosional processes, Marche, Region, Puglia Region, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and Istrian County); ii) Perform numerical analysis of coastal behaviors to potentially predict the future processes in relation to climate variation and weathering processes and create a vulnerability and risk maps of the pilot areas; iii) Create a virtual database containing the research results e define new guidelines for managing hydrogeological risk in Adriatic coastal area.\nThe use of VR, MR and AR will play a key role in the project. The virtual database has the purpose of promoting the cooperation and communication between public authorities, research institutions and stakeholders during landslide hazard/risk management and civil protection operations. Through the virtual database it will be possible to visualize (in the lab through VR and MR or in the field through AR) the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) models/videos and results of multitemporal surveys, numerical simulations and monitoring data in real-time. This will remarkably improve dissemination methods, data sharing and tourism promotion. The integration of all the surveys/analysis/visualization techniques represents an innovative methodology for landslide risk analysis and will be used for defining a new coastal vulnerability plan and civil protection guidelines for coastal analysis, monitoring and risk prevention (selection of equipment, data recording and sharing, quality and precision control etc). Furthermore, the virtual tools will be also used for tourism promotion through the development of i) VR and MR tourism tools where drone videos and coastal 3D models could be visualized by tourist in a virtual world (to be used by local and regional authorities, sectoral agencies and stakeholders); ii) smartphones/tablet/smart glasses AR applications that could be used by excursionists and tourist in the coastal areas to visualize trails, beaches, tourism facilities and landslides restricted areas.","2024-03-01","2026-08-31","(VI-A_I-Hr_2) Green and resilient shared environment","RSO2.4.

This phase officially concluded on April 16th with the submission and signature of the Application Form by the Legal Representative. The Partnership Agreement was drafted and signed by the partnership, followed by the review and signature of the Subsidy Contract by the LP on June 17th.\nThe initial implementation phase successfully established key project elements, including the identification of the PMU and Steering Committee members, creation of a project description poster, and publication of project details on official institutional websites and social media platforms. Throughout the first reporting period, LP maintained effective partnership communication through emails and virtual meetings using Microsoft Teams and Google Meet platforms.\nOn March 26th, 2024, LP-UNIURB attended the LP seminar in Venice, which covered crucial topics such as reporting, project management, and communication strategies. This was followed by the online kick-off meeting on April 18th, 2024, organised by LP-UNIURB and the whole partnership participated in. During this meeting, the Joint Secretariat presented insights on the Interreg Italy Croatia Programme, while LP introduced the partnership project's comprehensive overview, including activities, outputs, methodology, deadlines, responsibilities, and administrative procedures. WP Leaders detailed their specific work packages, outlining activities, outputs, partner involvement, and methodological approaches.\nTo initiate WP1 activities, an online meeting was held on March 11th to discuss pilot case selection and initial survey planning. Following the selection of pilot cases and the completion of deliverable 1.1.1, two field surveys were conducted: the first at Monte Conero promontory (IT) from June 18th to 19th, and the second across Croatian pilot areas from July 2nd to 5th. In addition, PP2 conducted some surveys in the Roca pilot area between June and July 2024.\nThe survey data was successfully integrated into a webGIS database, designed to be continuously updated with new information and made accessible to project partners and risk management authorities. The final version of this deliverable was completed on August 30th, 2024. The project's progress was further evaluated during the first Steering Committee meeting, held online on August 27th, where completed activities were assessed and upcoming initiatives were discussed, including dedicated sessions on project management and reporting procedures.\nA Facebook page was open and the website updated. In addition, PP4 published some press releases regarding the project initiation.\nIn this reporting period, the RESONANCE project evolved considerably owing to a very integrated partnership between all the partners. The work was centered on field surveys, data processing, modeling, communication, and public outreach, laying a strong foundation for the future stages of the project.\n\nThe project launched extensive integrated monitoring surveys in the four case study areas — Conero and Roca (Italy), and Havišće and Brovinje (Croatia) — with a multidisciplinary strategy integrating geomorphological, geomechanical, UAV, remote sensing, and geophysical methods. Geophysical surveys included resistivity, seismic, and radar measurements to quantify rockmass quality and fracture intensity. Advanced remote sensing technologies were also utilized, such as drones fitted with thermal cameras, LiDAR scanners, and high-resolution imaging systems, which allowed for the capture of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), slope maps, exposure data, and geological interpretations.\n\nFieldwork was complemented with logistic and technical support from local authorities, facilitating access to areas difficult to be reached and the collection of high-quality data. Surveying data was utilized for initial/preliminary slope stability modeling and for the development of two interactive WebGIS applications, offering dynamic visualization potential to both project partners and external users.\n\nBesides scientific and technical activities, the project invested heavily in outreach and dissemination to recover the delay accumulated during the first period. \n\nIn parallel to the fieldwork activities, press campaigns were accorded extensive coverage in national and regional media, particularly in the Marche Region,  making the general public aware of coastal geological hazards.  Moreover, CRP started to develop the 3D and multimedia room in the Conero Regional Park Visitor Center, which will be an interactive space for citizens, schools, and professionals to interact with the scientific deliverables of the project.\n\nAt the same time, the project consolidated its online presence. A comprehensive communication strategy was implemented through the project website, social media, and a dedicated project YouTube channel, with periodic updates on milestones and activities. Participation in international conferences, such as CESE 2024, further raised the profile of the project within the scientific community.\n\nManagement, internal communication, and coordination mechanisms were successfully incorporated, with frequent contact among partners, regular meetings, and collective solving of technical and operational problems. The Second Steering Committee meeting, held in Lecce in February 2025, was a milestone of collective evaluation and strategic planning of future activities.\n\nOver the past months, the RESONANCE project has made great progress thanks to the close teamwork between all partners. The focus was on finishing our coastal field surveys, analyzing the results, improving models, and sharing our findings more widely. These efforts helped us better understand how coastal landscapes change — and how to protect them in the future.\n\nFieldwork is now complete in the four case study areas: Conero and Roca in Italy, and Havišće and Brovinje in Croatia. Our teams used a mix of modern techniques — from drone mapping and LiDAR scanning to geophysical surveys with resistivity, seismic, and radar tools — to study the structure and stability of coastal cliffs. This approach allowed us to create very detailed 3D maps and slope models, giving us a much clearer picture of how these coasts evolve over time. The work was supported by local authorities, who helped our teams reach difficult coastal zones safely. The finding can be found in the D 1.2.1- Report describing surveys methodology.\n\nAll this data has now been brought together in the project’s interactive WebGIS platform available online at the following link https://resonance.uniurb.it/ . The platform lets users — from researchers to local planners — explore maps, survey results, and models directly online.\n\nOur partners are also advancing the slope stability analyses, which help predict landslides and erosion patterns along the coast. With new simulation software now in use, the next stage will involve more detailed modeling of how these landscapes may change in the coming years. \n\nCommunication and outreach were another strong point this period. 13 news were posted on the website, 15 posts shared on Facebook and LinkedIn and 14 on Instagram.  \n\nFinally, project coordination has remained smooth, with regular meetings and constant collaboration among all partners. The third Steering Committee meeting, held in Rijeka in July 2025, was a key moment to review progress, share lessons, and plan the next stages together.\n\nIt is important to highlight it was possible to achieve the results thanks to the strong cross-border cooperation between the PPs. In fact, the survey undertaken in collaboration with all PPs (in Italy and Croatia) and the data acquired allowed to better understand the dynamics of Italian and Croatian coasts. Furthermore, all these data were studied in cooperation with PPs and used for coastal analysis of retrogression and stability. This will important, at the end of WP4 in understanding the cross-border factors controlling coastal stability. Finally, also the creation of the WebGis and immersive tools was possible only thanks the cooperation between PPs and local institution.\n","Pula, Sirolo, Rijeka, Lecce, Urbino","HR, IT",{"$nulls":5},5]
