Coastal Cities Mobility Renaissance – Insights from Young Professionals: Case Study Šibenik
Join us this summer for the Summer School final event “Coastal Cities Mobility Renaissance – Insights from Young Professionals: Case Study Šibenik”, which will take place on 24 July 2026, from 10:00 to 14:00, at St. John’s Fortress in Šibenik. Special emphasis will on the application of STEM knowledge in addressing real city challenges. Everyone is welcome! Please register by 22 July 2026.
Are you interested in how young professionals from an international Summer School imagine the future of mobility and public spaces in Šibenik? At the event, international teams of students and young professionals from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czechia and Slovakia will present the results of their work. They will share concrete proposals focusing on climate-neutral mobility, the quality of public space, inclusiveness, multimodality and green technologies and demonstrate how STEM knowledge can be applied to solving real coastal city challenges.
What can you expect?
As in previous editions of the Summer School, the aim is to provide young people with an opportunity to learn by working on real urban challenges, while encouraging cooperation between students, mentors, local government and other stakeholders.
During the Summer School, interdisciplinary teams will develop conceptual solutions that can serve as inspiration for further work on sustainable mobility and public spaces in Šibenik, as well as in other coastal cities.
The topics they will work on during the school are related to the intermodal transport hub, inclusive mobility and public spaces, living streets, micromobility, climate resilience and reducing car dependency.
Citizens will have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a discussion on how Šibenik can become a more pleasant city for everyday life and young people will be able to learn how STEM disciplines contribute to the development of more sustainable coastal cities.
A special part of the programme will be dedicated to the presentation of the ŠI@ALL application, a journey planner developed within the SPINE project, which enables citizens and visitors to plan their movement around Šibenik more easily and make better use of the available transport options.
