CAMI
Center for Automotive and Mobility Innovation
Research
The Center for Automotive and Mobility Innovation (CAMI) is a research network of academics and experts who have years of experience in the fields of automotive industry and/or sustainable mobility. Our mission is to provide advances in basic and applied scientific research, and to disseminate thenew knowledge among our stakeholders.
Ongoing research projects
- PRIN – CATAI: Carbon Transition in the Automotive Industry
Ca' Foscari P.I.: Pietro Lanzini
The project addresses the issue of electrification in the automotive sector through a joint analysis of carmakers' perceptions of risks and opportunities, consumers' perceptions and stakeholders' expectations of new technologies. Combining both qualitative and quantitative analyses to shed light on the public debate about the decarbonization of the European automotive sector and the business involvement in it, the three Work Packages analyze: stakeholders’ expectations on de-carbonization alternatives, consumers’ acceptance of the identified alternatives, and companies’ responses as to implement sound strategies.
Closed research projects (last 5 years)
- Horizon – REBALANCE: Rebalancing disruptive business of multinational corporation and global value in chains within democratic and inclusive citizenship processes
Ca' Foscari P.I.: Francesco Zirpoli - PRIN-PNRR 2022 – Labour in transition: job-skills development and firm innovation competencies in Italy
Ca' Foscari P.I.: Francesco Zirpoli - INTERREG – CROSSMOBY: planning intermodal, cross-border and sustainable public transports
Ca' Foscari P.I.: Andrea Stocchetti
The Venice School of Management is partner of the CROSSMOBY project (EU project - INTERREG V-A ITALIA-SLOVENIA 2014-2020), led by the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The goal of the project is to improve the quality and the sustainability of cross-border mobility between Slovene and the neighboring Italian areas (Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Venice Province). The actions consisted in the development of a new railway connection and in a new approach to mobility planning, through the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans in a set of pilot areas. - INTERREG – MIMOSA: maritime and multimodal sustainable passenger transport solutions and services
Ca' Foscari P.I.: Andrea Stocchetti
The Venice School of Management is partner of the MIMOSA project (EU project - INTERREG ITALY-CROATIA) led by the Central European Initiative - CEI.
TEA Observatory
The TEA Observatory, which analyzes the transformation of the Italian automotive ecosystem, was established at the end of 2022 to support institutions and industry in the transition toward increasingly efficient and sustainable mobility. To achieve this, it relies on an ever-expanding database that already maps nearly 2,200 companies in the sector, designed to generate original scientific evidence on the skills and capabilities of firms and workers.
Each year, the TEA Observatory publishes a report that, in addition to its research and analytical purposes, provides policymakers and industry stakeholders with a highly detailed snapshot of the national automotive supply chain – an essential tool for navigating effectively in an increasingly competitive environment.
