The Venice Project Center, a research facility operated by Worcester Polytechnic Institute, was founded in 1988 by Fabio Carrera. Since then, more than 180 projects have been completed (by more than 640 students) addressing a host of challenges, from maintaining the city's famous canals, analyzing its boat traffic, and cataloging its public art.

The Venice Project Center's website is located at veniceprojectcenter.org. Other VPC projects include:
