IUAV UNIVERSITY OF VENICE LAUNCHES THE WATER LAB: THREE NEW MASTER'S PROGRAMMES FOR FUTURE ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS
Recognizing water as a strategic resource, Iuav created the Venice Water Lab: a hub for education and research on aquatic systems. Venice – between land and sea – is ideal for studying aquatic environments through scientific, technical, and cultural perspectives.
The Water Lab positions Iuav as a reference in Blue Growth and the Blue Economy. It focuses on the sea and water cycle within post-sustainable systems, aiming to shape new models for the Blue Planet's future.
"The Venice Water Lab is a place to explore a changing world," said Prof. Andrea Rinaldo , recipient of the 2023 Water Nobel Prize. "Sea level rise is real. We need professionals who can work across disciplines and cultures. These programmes are essential."
The initiative was developed with partners including the Venice Maritime Military Studies Institute (ISMM) and the National Research Council (CNR). Further collaborations are expected.
"The Water Lab will grow through international cooperation," said Benno Albrecht , Rector of Iuav. "It aims to become a benchmark for training professionals to manage coastal areas. With a focus on the sea, water cycle, and post-sustainability, it supports Italy's leadership in the Blue Economy."
Programmes are taught in English and include joint degrees with international universities.
The Venice Water Lab offers three Master's programmes:
