Research and projects

In line with the goals of the programme, IDBM research has the aim to generate systemic and multidisciplinary knowledge applicable to global business development that is design-and technology-intensive. Our research nurtures an explorative, creative, and open-minded approach in order to be agile and reactive towards emerging phenomena within design and creative industries.

Our involvement in a variety of projects and activities allows us, as a programme and faculty members, to keep ourselves at the forefront of relevant research topics, subject areas, and educational focal points. Moreover, these projects and initiatives offer us the opportunity to scale up our educational offerings, explore new methods and approaches towards experiential learning and education, and develop exciting partnerships and collaborations with industrial and governmental stakeholders.
