Innovation in IDE involves the creation of new human interactions, system-based experiences and devices that foster behavioural change and generate value for society. IDE projects have a breadth of vision, with the ambition of generating a real impact on diverse aspects including culture, politics, economics, engineering, design and, ultimately, on people. Diversity is a core factor in the IDE culture that embraces students and staff from over 25 countries and with very diverse disciplinary backgrounds.
The Programme nurtures students to shape their unique identity as leading innovators with pioneering attitudes who push the boundaries of diverse fields to challenge important real-world matters and envision future scenarios.
The Programme offers:
- full enrolment at the RCA and Imperial College London with access to both institutions facilities
- multidisciplinary teaching input by leading practitioners and researchers
- occasional commercial collaborations (projects have included Coca Cola, Airbus, BBC, Ford, Unilever, Future Agenda, Guzzini, LG)
- very good links and involvement in enterprise teaching and potential support through InnovationRCA incubator
- international exchanges and student modules organised annually in different countries (recent visits include South Africa, Israel, India, Japan and Chile).
