ASSET 2024

Venue

Conference location

San Giobbe Economics Campus
Fondamenta San Giobbe, Cannaregio 873, 30121 Venice

The conference, hosted by the Department of Economics, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, will be held in San Giobbe Economics Campus a modern and fully-equipped congress venue, deeply rooted in the town centre. Sprung from the careful recovery of the local urban fabric, it covers a surface of over 23,000 square meters.

The San Giobbe Economics Campus is conveniently located in the “sestiere” (district) of Cannaregio, at a walking distance from "Piazzale Roma" (bus, tram and taxi terminal) and "Venezia Santa Lucia" railway station (the so-called "Ferrovia").
It is also well connected with the city center and the islands by waterbus (the so-called "Vaporetto"). Near the Campus there are the stops of the ACTV waterbus (“Crea” stop or “Tre Archi” stop) and the stop of the Alilaguna boats, which connect Venice directly from Marco Polo international airport.

Hotel info

We remind you that November 1st is a public holiday in Italy, therefore it may be useful to book your hotel as soon as possible. Both Mestre and Venice are good options for your stay.
Ca’ Foscari University does not have special agreements with hotels or guest houses close to the San Giobbe Campus, so you’ll have to book the hotel or the apartment by yourself.
