On Tuesday January 30th the new Advisory Board of the Department of Economics of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice will meet. It includes internationally respected entrepreneurs, managers and scholars such as Paolo Costa (President of the Port Authority of Venice and former Rector of Ca’ Foscari), Roberto Crosta (Secretary General of Veneto’s Chamber of Commerce), Arrigo Cipriani (President of Cipriani S.p.A), Alessandro Favaretto Rubelli (President of Rubelli), Michele Boldrin, (Washington University in Saint Louis), Stephen Schaefer (London Business School) just to name a few. 38 social partners’ referees are supported by a commission for the internationalization of education which includes 10 professors from prestigious universities and research institutes.
The Department that was recently recognized as one of the top Italian departments decided to establish an Advisory Board, a committee that delivers opinions and suggestions for strategic choices and procedures such as degree programmes annual updating, developing new research areas and programming the ‘third mission’. The Board was established in the year of the 150th anniversary of Ca’ Foscari, established in 1868 as the first business school in Italy (and second in Europe), and after receiving a substantial funding offered by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research as a top department.
The Advisory Board will meet on Tuesday January 30th 2018 at 4.30pm at the Campus of Economics and will be chaired by the Head of the Department of Economics, professor Monica Billio, supported by the Department Committee and by the coordinators of the six Teaching Committees of the Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes.
“The Department of Economics - Monica Billio explains - is enriched by the input of experts, scholars, professionals and Italian and international entrepreneurs in order to bring to the attention of our fellow colleagues and researchers - as well as students - all segments of our dynamic and global society. This support will be particularly important during the reevaluation of the degree programmes, the research areas and the third mission activities. The goal is to efficiently combine our 150 years old economic tradition with the current needs and opportunities.”
