About

Summary

Fondazione Università Ca' Foscari is a university foundation under private law established in 2010 on the initiative of Università Ca' Foscari Venezia. Fondazione represents the direct result of the experience of Ca' Foscari Formazione e Ricerca S.r.l., a company established by the University during the Rectorate of Prof. Maurizio Rispoli with the aim of intensifying and expanding synergies and relationships with the surrounding territory. Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari has operated as an instrumental body of the namesake University since its establishment.

As such, it activates the most appropriate channels for the transfer and sharing of Ca' Foscari's research results through complex and multidisciplinary projects developed in collaboration with local entities, companies and institutions. 

The administrative headquarter of Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari is housed at the former Parisi warehouses in Santa Croce, a short walk from the main access points to the city of Venice from the mainland.
