Start a collaboration focused on game changers advances brought to digital health by artificial intelligence (AI): this is the objective of memorandum of understanding signed byCa’ Foscari University of Venice with the Mare research and technological innovation centre. The partnership will materialize in the creation of theeHealth Technopark to the Lido of Venicea center with the aim of revolutionizing medical research and care through cutting-edge artificial intelligence applications.
Towards the development of new application solutions
The Protocol will allow open new lines of research in the fields of information and communication technologies, biomedicine and statistics, big data and artificial intelligence, but also in the social sciences and humanities. The ultimate aim is to contribute through research to the development of new application solutions for the development of the centre, which will be dedicated to people’s health. The Protocol will develop cooperation in the transfer of knowledge, the organization of seminars and conferences, collaboration in joint research projects.
A center for over 900 scientists
The Technopark for digital healthcare will transform the headquarters of the historic Ospedale al Mare into a center for more than 900 scientists and will be equipped with residential facilities for over 600 people. This initiative will revitalize the local economy, create jobs and reaffirm Venice’s role as a center of excellence in healthcare innovation.
New professional opportunities from the hub
“Today at Ca’ Foscari we mark another important step in our local development projects; with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with Mare our commitment to the Lido of Venice continues – states the Rector of Ca’ Foscari, Tiziana Lippiello -. In addition to the project for student housing at the “former Pepe barracks”, we will also invest in scientific research by putting our skills in the fields of information and communication technologies, biomedicine, statistics, big data, artificial intelligence, social sciences and humanities at the service. The technology hub project at the former Ospedale al Mare will allow the development of innovative research, attract international talent, encourage the transfer of knowledge and offer new professional opportunities. Thanks to this scientific collaboration, our commitment to studying the great global challenges of our time and to developing advanced and sustainable solutions is strengthened.”
Benefits for people all over the world
“Today our shared vision of improving global health by leveraging artificial intelligence takes an important step forward – he adds Frank Gotthardt, founder of Mare – . No one should suffer or die because essential information has not been gleaned from existing medical data. The collaboration between Mare and Ca’ Foscari University will promote an environment in which researchers, male and female students, startups and established companies will be able to work together to create innovative solutions that will bring benefits people not only in Venice and Italy, but throughout the world. Finally, we are very grateful to the Municipality of Venice and the Veneto Region for the unwavering support they have shown us. Together, we are creating a public-private partnership with the goal of healing people here and around the world.”
