The Bauhaus of the Seas project, which involves the participation of Nuno Nunes, Full Professor at DEI, brings together scientists, artists, architects, and local communities in the search for answers to environmental problems in the ocean. The contribution of this project to the regeneration of a part of the city of Venice was emphasized on-site by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen:

“Today, life is coming back to these communities. This University, together with Ca' Foscari, the Mayor and the Port Authority, have joined a project called Bauhaus of the Seas Sails. It is one of the first six demonstrator projects of the New European Bauhaus. And indeed, San Basilio and Santa Marta are basically rejuvenated. You – the ones who are working here together on the project – are creating new student residences, you are creating new economic activities and focus on sustainable fishery, you are creating new public spaces to reconnect the two neighbourhoods with the waterfront. With the Bauhaus of the Seas, you can basically restore the natural bond between this beautiful city and the sea.”
