EMERGING GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEMS:
EXPLORING POLARIZATION, SYSTEMIC RISKS, INNOVATION, AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), CRIF (Bologna, Italy), European Datawarehouse (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 25-26, 2025.
The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2025 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research.
The conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), Joint Research Center European Commission, ABI - Italian Banking Association, and Venice Sustainability Foundation is the twenty-fourth of a series dedicated to various aspects of risk.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF EUROPEAN FUNDING
The organization of the conference has benefitted from financial support by:
- the European Union – NextGenerationEU, as part of the GRINS project - Growing Resilient, INclusive and Sustainable (GRINS PE00000018)
- ESG UPTAKE — TSI-2023-ESGRM-IBA - ESG risk management framework for the financial sector. Funded by the European Commission - Grant Agreement N° 101145727.
Sustainability necessitates a global perspective, requiring the adaptation of contemporary business and societal models to navigate the dynamic landscape of the future. Policymakers and society must ensure that resources, particularly technology, are utilized responsibly and efficiently to enhance the well-being of both present and future generations while cultivating a harmonious relationship with the environment. This strategy is vital in addressing sustainability issues such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution, and inequality. Effective global risk management is vital for bridging divisions and fragmentation through innovation.
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Mario Greco (Zurich Insurance Group, Zurich) and Andrew Lo (MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers.

Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista
The conference will be held at the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, one of the most prestigious buildings in Venice, located in the sestiere of San Polo. Founded in 1261, this splendid Renaissance complex is among the seven Scuole Grandi of Venice, and is one of the city's main historical sites, known for its impressive architecture and the works of art that adorn its halls.
Salone San Giovanni
The Salone San Giovanni is the most prestigious venue of the Scuola Grande. Renovated in the 18th century by architect Giorgio Massari, it is now one of the largest halls in Venice, ideal for hosting significant events.
Guests will be immersed in a captivating atmosphere, dominated by frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, while the ceiling portrays the Apocalypse. The hall culminates in the altar, where the Saint is depicted writing his Gospel, inspired by an angel.
Scalone Monumentale
The Scalone Monumentale is a masterpiece of the architect Mauro Codussi from Bergamo, built in 1498. Its elegant architecture and rich plastic decorations, with carvings and niello work, accompany guests to the reception halls.
In 2018, the Scalone Monumentale was restored. The foundations and load-bearing walls were reinforced, while the Istrian stone steps, once cracked, were carefully repaired and repositioned. The marble floor was raised and restored in order to strengthen the vaults underneath. The decorative stone elements and the delicate marmorino plaster on the walls and ceilings were renewed, preserving the elegant soul of the monument.
ACCOMMODATION
We propose an hotel list including all within easy reach of the conference venue.
It is possible to find accommodation alternatives also by visiting the official website of the Tourist Board of Venice or the Veneto.eu website.

The Social Dinner will take place on Thursday, September 25th, at the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, in the “Salone del Ridotto”.
Overlooking the Grand Canal, Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal is located in one of Venice's most charming and atmospheric areas, just steps away from St. Mark’s Square. The venue offers breathtaking views of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio.
Since 1638, this historic building has hosted the first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place where nobility and people from all walks of life would gather for leisure and intrigue.
The exquisite Halls of the Ridotto, rich in history and grandeur, have played a key role in Venetian cultural life. The setting offers guests a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the timeless atmosphere of Giacomo Casanova’s Serenissima, surrounded by elegance and historical charm.
