We are a community of professors, researchers and experts who deals with design cultures and their continuous innovation. We operate in the University of Bologna through teaching activities, Research and in the Third mission. The task of the Advanced Design Unit is to incentivize, increase and promote the synergies between design education and the productive and social context. Since its foundation in 2014, the Advanced Design Unit has maximized the activation of multi-level relationships between companies, organizations, institutions and courses in Design. The dissemination of design practices and specific tools allows businesses and local authorities to encounter advanced design research in order to anticipate future scenarios, new models and processes.

The University of Amsterdam is one of the largest comprehensive universities in Europe. The UvA community comprises around 50,000 people. Together we are one UvA: a community of thinkers and doers — students, researchers, lecturers, professional services staff and the representative bodies. Our strength lies in the multitude of perspectives, experiences and talents. This sum of perspectives is what truly makes the UvA the UvA. There is an inseparable link between the university and its host city. The freedom and creativity with which Amsterdam has long been associated have worked their way into the fabric of the university. This is a place where individuality, authenticity and diversity are celebrated as sources of stimulation, inspiration and innovation. Professional and personal development, challenges and collaboration are undertaken in a versatile and multidimensional (inter)national ecosystem with leading stakeholders. Staff at the UvA make a meaningful contribution to uncovering solutions to some of the world’s most significant problems and to developing the next generation of talent.
