The preservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the ports of Ancona, Venice, Ravenna, Trieste, Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Zadar and Split is a fundamental step for the enhancement of their historical and cultural values, and for the creation of new social-economic activities. This WP allowed the realization of methodological tools that provided indications to the partners for the creation of the cloud-based tool that then became the ADRIJO platform, for the collection of cultural contents for the local virtual museum of each single port, for their realization as innovative digital products to be uploaded in the ADRIJO platform. Moreover, in this WP the partners drafted analysis and technical studies for the preservation of their tangible heritage that will be realized in the WP4 of REMEMBER project.

The joint promotion of the maritime cultural heritage of the 8 Italian and Croatian ports involved in REMEMBER is realized with the virtual platform Adrijo (www.adrijo.eu/en), a term that combines the Italian name of Adriatico and the Croatian one Jadransko, created in the framework of REMEMBER project with the aim to present the uniqueness of the Adriatic dimension as a single geographical ecosystem, which shares history, stories, expressions and experiences. Further objectives of Adrijo platform is to increase of the attractiveness of the involved ports and of the surrounding territories by spreading the knowledge and stories of the ports in the touristic offer, and support the creation of a new awareness about the role that ports play in the social, cultural and economic development of their respective communities.
