Semester Topics, Destinations and Testimonials
VIU organizes the internships and scholarships of the Globalization Program in collaboration with the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and thanks to the generous contribution of the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea which are VIU members. In the research fields of these two institutions, cultural heritage and sustainable development can be identified as important topics. The same topics have become the focus respectively for the Fall and Spring semesters since 2008. Thus the destinations of the internships are closely connected to the focal topic related to the semester attended.
The program has a strong focus on Asia, particularly in the area of Sustainable Development, thanks to the work of VIU's TEN Center and to collaboration with the Department of East Asian Studies of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice, and with Tsinghua University (Beijing) and TongJi University (Shanghai). In the area of Cultural Heritage the focus is also towards Mediterranean countries, thanks to cooperation with the Italian National Research Council (CNR). Internships for non-Italian students are available in Venice and the surrounding region and in Rome.
