What are Applied Dreams?
Two-week projects run twice a year, in which Year 1 and Year 2 work together on real-world projects, usually in collaboration with international companies. Students are divided into workshops, each of which is usually associated with an industrial or professional partner and an area of mutual interest.
What is their aim?
To develop a range of concepts for future products and services, using rapid and collaborative design iterations and having regard to market environments. The design brief is planned to fit Interaction-Ivrea�s educational needs while offering the collaborating partner, through exposure to the insights and approaches of the students, an opportunity for creative refreshment. Some of the workshops act as feasibility studies for potential Interaction-Ivrea Innovation Projects.
