DesignMatters creates opportunities to exchange knowledge and experiences about doctoral practices with other institutions. It enables the creation of a network to address shared concerns and collaboratively generate training materials for doctoral students and thesis tutors.
DesignMatters will be developed in five work modules, created collaboratively by all partners. BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño, Sapienza Università di Roma and Universidade Lusófona will be the testing ground for the project, where all activities will be carried out. RMIT Europe is the expert partner in practice-based research and joint PhD supervision, Itinerari Paralleli is the expert partner in inclusion and diversity processes, and Cumulus Association is the expert partner in communication and dissemination.
For BAU, this project opens a scope of possibilities for furthering the practice-based research methods that its doctoral school is already supporting. In this sense, it will also allow for the integration of unconventional forms of knowledge and formats that do not normally enter the academic world.
