Digital Photography Exhibition
The exhibition Memories, History and Heritage of Coastal Cities showcases the 26 winning photographs from the EU-CONEXUS photo contest of the same name, launched in autumn 2025. Bringing together contributions from across the nine countries of the EU-CONEXUS Alliance: France, Greece, Spain, Lithuania, Croatia, Romania, Ireland, Germany, and Cyprus; the exhibition highlights the rich maritime history and cultural heritage of coastal cities. Participants were invited to creatively capture locations and objects such as lighthouses, bunkers, shipyards, and historic ports, with the aim of raising public awareness of these important sites.
Open to students and staff from partner universities, the contest received an impressive 184 submissions. From these, three photographs per country were selected based on creativity, quality, and relevance to the theme, forming the compelling collection presented in this exhibition.
The event takes place at Canteen, College Street Campus, Waterford. All are welcome and free to attend.
