CIID Research Lab: expanding the body of knowledge in interaction design processes, applications and methodologies

In the Lab, the word research is interpreted in its broadest sense is considered to be a set of activities that seek to break the boundaries of current thinking – both from a theoretical and applied angle. The Research Lab supports the education and consultancy aspects of CIID, developing new tools and methods for teaching and industry practice. Our research projects are both short and long term. Activities conducted by the Research Lab:

• Consulting for clients
• Innovation workshops
• Collaboration with industry and research partners

The goal of the Research Lab is to give private and public organisations the opportunity to collaborate with a young, dynamic and skilled group of researchers. Key competitive factors of the Research Lab:

• High speed design process
• Strong creativity in concept generation
• Focus on user experience
• Fast and effective prototyping skills and techniques
• Future scenario development
• Effective project communication and documentation
• International thinking and environment.

The Research Lab works as small autonomous unit working in parallel with other academic institutions worldwide. The educational and research units of CIID will be located in the same building, with exchange occurring between both entities. Faculty working in both areas will help fuse the research interests with the academic programme. Students will have the opportunity to work alongside faculty in the research lab, learning first-hand how to develop ideas in the context of pure or applied research.
