Locations

City of Rijeka has a lot to offer when it comes to attractive venues for hosting the first edition of Republika. Central location for educational programs is certainly the most important complex of industrial heritage in Rijeka - “Rikard Benčić”, and more precisely, its abandoned 6000 square meters engine factory with preserved impressive atmosphere, this time occupied for talks, discussions and interactive knowledge exchange. Additional, more in-depth programs of SHARE Cyberpunk Academy will be held at soc-real navy ship “Seagull”, docked in the port of Rijeka for this occasion. Seagull (Galeb) was used by the late President of the Yugoslav Republic, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, on his numerous foreign trips and for the entertainment of worldwide renown people. The ship attained an iconic status among the people of Yugoslavia, as well as among the many diverse nations and members of the Non-Aligned Movement. More info on night program locations will be available as soon as music lineup is announced.
