The Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities at Ca'Foscari University in Venice, partner within EUTOPIA Alliance, provides advanced and in-depth training in theories, technologies and methods applied to historical monuments, artefacts and texts. Focussing on cultural, archaeological, historical, literary, and artistic materials from Venetian sites and cultural heritage institutions, participants will engage in debates about digital cultural heritage and public humanities while enhancing their competences and skills in digitising materials and sources and in modelling, analysing and visualising multimedia humanities data. Deadline for application April 13, 2026. Summer school will be held between July 6 and 10.
The Summer School takes place at historical sites and cultural venues across the city of Venice and its surroundings. Each day is dedicated to a specific academic field: archaeology, history, art history and textual scholarship. Teaching formats include lectures, hands-on workshops, guided tours and experimental performances. Units are planned and delivered by local experts and invited specialists. All classes will be taught in English. The programme includes “Pimp my Project” sessions for discussing the participants’ individual research projects with domain experts.
There is no registration fee for the summer school. Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation and accommodation. Additional activities (such as a visit to the Venice Biennale) and accommodation are subject to an extra charge. Accommodation is available in the Camplus University Residences (see the summer school announcement for more details)
