Project description
Fellowships in Venice, for excellence in dealing with global challenges
Since 2014, the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (UNIVE) has organised international, inter-sectoral individual fellowships within the framework of its own strategic plan, investing in its leading position in Europe as a research-intensive university and becoming a top host Institution with more than 60 Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship awarded. In 2019, UNIVE founded six ambitious Research for Global Challenges Institutes to promote interdisciplinary research in most-challenging contemporary missions in the following subjects: Complexity, Digital and Cultural Heritage, Social Innovation, International Studies, Green and Blue Growth, and Innovation Management. The EU-funded GLOBAL_AT_VENICE project has been established as a 60-month new fellowship programme co-funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme. It offers 15 fellowships, over 24 months, in interdisciplinary research at Research for Global Challenges Institutes. It provides excellent, international, inter-sectoral training to boost fellows’ future careers and attractive working conditions.
Objective
The Global at Venice - Research and Training for Global Challenges is a new 60-month Cofund Fellowship Programme implemented by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (UNIVE) that aims at exploiting the full potential of UNIVE’s and its strategic partners to offer to 15 Fellows a truly international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training.
The G@V programme will strengthen the Fellows’ curricula, providing Europe and the world with a pool of researchers capable of bridging the gaps between academic and applied research, and between research to market. In 2014 UNIVE launched an ambitious Strategic Plan aimed to boost its position to become a leading research-intensive university. Huge investments together with a radical mind-shift led to the following initiatives:
·2014: BRAIN GRAIN programme
·2015: CAREERS+ programme
·2016: HRS4R - Human Resources Strategy for Researchers label
·2016: LAB programme
RESULTS 2014-2019: UNIVE is now a top Host Institution with more than 60 Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship awarded, 10 ERC grantees, 97 H2020 projects worth over €27M so far.

1 Research Institute for Complexity
