Fondazione Giorgio Cini
The Fondazione Giorgio Cini is a non-profit cultural institution based in Venice, Italy. It was constituted by Count Vittorio Cini, in memory of his son Giorgio, with the aim of restoring the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore (devastated by 100 years of military occupation) and of creating an international cultural centre that would re-integrate the Island into the life of Venice.
“The mission of the Giorgio Cini Foundation is to promote the redevelopment of the monumental complex on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore and to encourage the creation and development of educational, social, cultural and artistic institutions in its surrounding territory”. The creation of the Foundation was one of the most remarkable private initiatives of the 20th century. The importance of this undertaking was borne out by the initial investment committed to rehabilitate the Island and by the many events the Foundation has promoted or hosted since. It is further substanstiated by the cultural patrimony conserved on the Island and, since 1984, at the Gallery of Palazzo Cini at San Vio.
Alongside the Foundation's commitment to its own research and the conferences and seminars growing out of this work, the Island welcomes events sponsored by distinguished cultural and scientific organisations. It has even been the site of major international summits (inprimis the G7 in 1980 and 1987).
The role of the Giorgio Cini Foundation is attested by the many highly esteemed intellectuals, artists, politicians and economists who have been involved in its programme, and by the recollections of scholars and guests who have spent time on the Island.

Molino Stucky Hilton
The new Molino Stucky Hilton Venice combines the old-world charm of the past with the features of the largest, newest and best-equipped Convention Centre in Venice, and this is the reason why it has been chosen as the venue for the Scoping Meeting.
The Molino Stucky Hilton Venice is an iconic building with a red brick facade, characteristic windows, battlements, and pointed turrets. Originally built as a flour mill in the 19th century, the building has been restored with great success in recent years, and converted into one of the most spectacular hotels in Venice. The hotel stands proudly over the Giudecca Canal and its 7th floor terrace offers breathtaking views of Venice. It is just a few minutes by boat from St Mark’s Square. The convention centre, with its nearly 1,000 m² column-free ballroom, hosts up to 1,000 participants theatre-style. With its high ceilings and pre-function lobby, it is an ideal venue for meeting and exhibitions. The hotel also offers 14 Hilton Meeting Rooms, a fully-equipped Business Centre and an Executive Board Room.
