O projeto Bauhaus of the Seas, que conta com a participação de Nuno Nunes, Professor Catedrático do DEI, junta cientistas, artistas, arquitetos e comunidades locais na procura de respostas para problemas ambientais no Oceano. A contribuição deste projeto para a regeneração de uma parte da cidade de Veneza foi realçada in loco pela Presidente da Comissão Europeia, 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.”
