"Our Department is firmly at the top of national and international research rankings, with an outstanding ability to attract funds: we recently won two calls funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and received funding as a Department of Excellence for the second time. (...)
These are some of the features that make us an attractive destination for researchers worldwide."
Giacomo Pasini,
Director, Department of Economics
Department of Excellence
The Department of Economics has been declared one of the 180 Italian Departments of Excellence for the second consecutive time. VIVA ("Venice Initiative on Vulnerability Analysis") is an innovative research and educational programme that will be implemented thanks to the Ministry of University and Research funding for the Departments of Excellence programme. The aim of VIVA is to study how to deal with the issues related to social and economic systems in transition, with a special focus on vulnerable situations that might be exacerbated by exposure to exogenous shocks, increasing inequality in multiple contexts (economic, environmental, demographic, health, etc.)

Where and who does heat hit hardest?
How do extreme and rising temperatures affect people around the world and how can we ensure that people are thermally safe? A new collaborative study between CMCC, University of Bristol and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice introduces the first multidimensional assessment of Systemic Cooling Poverty across 28 countries in the Global South, revealing how vulnerability to extreme heat is driven not only by climate but also factors such as infrastructure, inequality, health and work conditions.
