Dear Colleague,
from the Rector
Welcome to the city of Venice, and welcome to Ca' Foscari. Founded in 1868 as
the first business school in Italy (and the second in Europe) Ca' Foscari has always
remained faithful to its founding mission and natural vocation to promote research
and education well beyond our national borders.
Nowadays Ca’ Foscari is renowned worldwide for its excellence within and across
the disciplines of its tradition as well as for the international network of relationships
it has developed. At Ca' Foscari you will have an opportunity to work with world-
class fellow faculty members and brilliant young researchers. You will be exposed
to a rich population of high calibre students and to a variety of programs in which
different disciplines – in economics, foreign languages, humanities and sciences –
converge towards high-impact interdisciplinary research and education projects.
At Ca’ Foscari you will be offered a well rounded experience, mixing highest-quality
A word
academic life with cultural, artistic and athletic activities provided within the unique
Venetian context, as well as with a wide choice of scientific events involving Nobel
prize winners, world leaders, artists, scholars and researchers.
This Welcome Guide will be a companion for your stay in Venice. Our International
Welcome Unit will assist you in your enrollment procedures and the paperwork
required for your stay (residency permit request, social security, … etc). Our
Housing Office will help you find an accommodation in Venice. The guide will then
provide detailed information and contacts you might need during your first few
weeks in town as well as also throughout all your stay in the lagoon. You have
become part of Ca' Foscari community and we are really pleased that you have
chosen our university and the city of Venice for your professional experience. We
will always be at your side to make sure you find this experience at Ca' Foscari truly
fulfilling.
With my best wishes,
Michele Bugliesi
Rector of Ca' Foscari University of Venice
