Co-operation with other cities....

The Centre promotes bilateral relationships between the city of Venice and other cities on water, with the aim of developing research activities and work opportunities on themes of interest to all.

Sydney
In co-operation with the City of Venice and promoted by the Consorzio Venezia Nuova and the Ministry for the Arts of New South Wales, the yearly Max Kelly Grant has been launched for young graduates.
