PROGRAMME

One of the most valuable aspects of this course was how it bridged theory and practice. The final project on Tronchetto wasn’t just an academic exercise—it was a solution to a tangible challenge.

The course was really well-prepared and well-organized. Beautiful central location and being in Venice is a treat in itself. Loved every moment of it.

This course pushed me to think bigger. The insights I gained from faculty and the group helped me refine my ideas. Since completing the program, I’ve used my final project to secure funding for further research.

This program was an incredibly enriching experience, both academically and socially. I really appreciated the opportunity to stay close to other participants, as it made collaboration effortless and added to the overall enjoyment of the course. The organizers did a fantastic job!

Walking through Venice while discussing water, food, heritage preservation issues was amazing. The course was an incredible mix of discussions, cases studies, field trips to the lagoon and site seeing.  I got new tools, fresh ideas, and connections that will last forever. It was amazing.

My second program at the Academy and I enjoyed it very much.
