International scientific meeting was based on the concept of 'third party' as a player in the mediatory, mediation and reconciliation practices, which in various forms and in different ways act throughout history. The key question was to observe various aspects of the appearing of a third party, whose nomination requires covert or existing conflicts within a community or society. The symposium has contributed to highlighting the mediator practices in different historical periods and contexts (from 8th to 20th centuries, with particular reference to the Adriatic and in the wider Mediterranean area). The meeting's participants discussed around the following key issues: - The position of a third party - the conflict dynamics and risks, - the third party and criteria of decisions, - the protagonists of the conflict and their context, - viewers or witnesses (public opinion, gossip, etc., accompanying the conflict).

The project deals with the valorisation and promotion of shared cultural heritage of the Slovenian-Italian border area, which originates from the common historical influences of the Venetian Republic. One of the objectives of the project is the creation of the Inter-University Centre for Venetian history and cultural heritage. The scope of its operation will be studying, presentation and documentation of the material and intangible cultural heritage within the eligible area with the modern technology which will contribute to its protection. The topics covered will range in the history of institutions, society and economy to culture, language, art and architecture of the Venetian period. Colleagues at the University of Venice and University of Udine, in collaboration with colleagues of the University of Primorska will select and digitalize the historical materials.
