Introduction
The course is offered in either English or Italian language.
The PhD programme aims to investigate new interpretative paradigms of Design and the Arts, and their roles, in a fluid, rapidly evolving context, through the experimentation of systemic research methodologies, based on multiple connections and hybridizations (human, nature, machine), the sublimation of linear disciplinary approaches, in favour of relational and critical, abductive and transdisciplinary readings, which look not only at applications, but also at the implications and impacts of design and creative action.
The research fields concern the following thematic areas:
- Collective intelligence and Human - non-human creativity
- Design Arts and the creative industries in new socio-economic circular environments
- Cultural Heritage through digital and physical technologies
- Smart technologies and bio-materials: unconventional and circular application
- Data design and information ecology: awareness and knowledge
- Decolonization, commoning and social good in design and art practices
The training programme is divided into a single curriculum over the three years and envisages the following training activities:
- Research activities: Development and implementation of a research project over three years, projects and field research activities also in collaboration with external partners and participation in funded projects consistent with the topics of the PhD
- Dissemination activities: presentation of research results at one or more international conferences in the form of an oral presentation or poster and publication of the results (conference proceedings, article or essay).
- Activities abroad: Study for at least three months abroad to conduct research
- Teaching activities: Attend compulsory courses also at other institutions in art and design, research methodologies, sciences (human, social, environmental, pedagogical, economic), digital and post-digital technologies, and group and individual research workshops
- Additional activities: seminars, conferences, practice-based transdisciplinary workshops, participation in research projects and groups, educational and extracurricular activities with students.
