Research
We conduct research projects in collaboration with academic, industrial and public partners and networks. Our goal is to raise awareness of and develop the understanding of the field of industrial design through combining scientific and artistic research.
Research in industrial design should also provide deeper insight into the holistic creation of products from a life cycle perspective, as well as into the relation between people and the functional and emotional characteristics of products.
Critical reflection, the ability to deal with ambiguity and friction, moral intelligence and diversity in micro, macro and meta perspectives, as well as various research methods, are key principles for meeting new challenges. We strive to use a wide range of methods and approaches in the search for new formats and their effects, as well as useful and validated knowledge.
Research education
We provide doctoral studies in industrial design. As a research student you get to explore the subject in depth through individual work as well as through interaction with your supervisor and research group.
