This year we welcomed presentations from over 300 undergraduates from institutions across six continents. In a new development for 2024, ICUR was broadcast live from the Warwick Venice Centre where students participated in several research sessions.

On 22nd-23rd June the University of Warwick and Shanghai Jiao Tong University held a joint conference to mark the occasion of the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo's death. Keynote speeches included Professor Luca Mola, University of Warwick.

A collaborative project setup by Dr Luca Mola, University of Warwick, between the Venetian State Archives and the Museum of Asian Art in Venice will aim to restore and re-evaluate an important testimony on the Venetian merchants who followed in the steps of Marco Polo in the decade after his death
