Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox university Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Шаблон:Lang-it), or simply Ca' Foscari, is a public research university in Venice, Italy. Since its foundation in 1868, it has been housed in the Venetian Gothic palace of Ca' Foscari, from which it takes its name. The palace stands on the Grand Canal, between the Rialto and San Marco, in the sestiere of Dorsoduro, while the rest of the University is scattered around the historical centre.

Ca' Foscari was founded in 1868 after the annexation of the Veneto region in the Kingdom of Italy as the Regia Scuola Superiore di Commercio "The Royal College of Commerce". As such, it is one of the oldest business schools in the world.[1] It became a full-fledged university in 1968. Ca' Foscari currently has eight departments and almost 21,000 students.[2][3]

History

Ca' Foscari was founded as the "Regia Scuola Superiore di Commercio" (Royal College of Commerce) by a Royal Decree dated 6 August 1868, and teaching commenced in December of the same year. The idea of establishing such a school had arisen after the annexation of the Veneto to the new Kingdom of Italy in 1866, and was promoted by three people in particular: the Jewish political economist Luigi Luzzatti, later Prime Minister of Italy; Edoardo Deodati, senator of the Kingdom of Italy and vice-president of the province of Venice; and the Sicilian political economist Francesco Ferrara, director of the school for its first thirty years.[3]

The school was the first institute of higher education in commerce in Italy.[7] It also had a diplomatic section to train and educate Diplomats and commercial consular staff for overseas service and international law. In addition, Ca' Foscari was also created to operate as a training college for secondary school teachers of commercial subjects. Foreign languages were taught from the start as well as the study of foreign cultures. The school was parallelled only by the Institut Supérieur de Commerce d'Anvers, founded in 1853 in Antwerp, Belgium.[3] Today, Ca' Foscari is still a specialised university for the study of business economics, humanitites and international affairs, and teaches over 40 languages.[4]

Following the establishment of a national syllabus for university teaching in 1935, the Istituto Superiore di Economia e Commercio di Venezia, as it was by then called, was authorised to award four-year laurea degrees.[8] In 1968 it obtained university status, and the name was changed to Università degli Studi di Venezia. In the following year two new faculties were created, of industrial chemistry and of philosophy and letters.[3]

Currently, Ca' Foscari hosts eight strategic research centers:[9] the Center for Cultural Heritage and Technology,[10] the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change,[11] the European Centre for Living Technology,[12] the Center for Humanities and Social Change, the Institute for Global Challenges, the Marco Polo Centre, the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities, and the Venice Centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for Public Policies.
