Ca’ Foscari University of Venice has recently assigned a grant of € 26,500 for a research project in collaboration with the University of Warwick, led by Professors Luciano Pezzolo (Ca’ Foscari, Department of History) and Luca Molà (Warwick, Department of History and Director of the Warwick Venice Centre).

In 2024 Warwick FTV Studies introduced an innovative on-site undergraduate module based in Venice offering students the chance to engage with the past of Venice’s long screen history, today’s Venice Film Festival and the future water cultures of the wider lagoon.

This week is one of my favourites in the year. It's a chance to bring together academics, students, researchers and stakeholders from across to Europe and beyond for our bi-annual EUTOPIA Week. Hosted by EUTOPIA partner CY Cergy Paris University, the theme for this EUTOPIA week is innovation and collaboration – providing a platform to showcase the achievements of the alliance and to set the stage for future initiatives.

Congratulations to the Venetian Universities team that won the International Rowing Challenge yesterday during the Regata Storica di Venezia! Second place went to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. Third came the University of Warwick and fourth the Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro. In the afternoon the award ceremony for the Marco Polo Cup took place: the dragon boat race between the Dragon Boat Università Veneziane team and the Chinese team from the twin city of Suzhou was held on Friday.

On 22nd June 2024, Warwick Venice Centre participated in Art Night, an annual event coordinated by Ca'Foscari whereby organisations all over Venice extended their opening hours or specially opened their doors to the public.

ERINN’s annual conference took place between 3-5 June 2024 at the Warwick in Venice building, the Palazzo Guistinian Lolin.

Economic Research on Identity, Norms, and Narratives (ERINN) is a team of researchers from institutions across the world. The basic premise underpinning the team is that economic activity takes place in social contexts, which structure and co-determine people’s preferences, beliefs, and constraints. The role of this network of researchers is to bring these processes to the forefront of economic analysis.

The team have held annual conferences for the past 7 years, hosting speakers to talk about their world-leading research at institutions such as the Paris School of Economics, LSE and Georgetown University.

This year, we welcomed 12 speakers, 10 members of the core ERINN team, and 10 attendees to the Warwick in Venice building for the first time. The fantastic location of the venue in the heart of Venice, as well as the social experiences organised across different parts of the city, made this conference very popular and memorable for those attending.
