Europa (er)leben – Habitons l’Europe ensemble 2025
The intercultural project “Europa (er)leben” (“Habitons l’Europe ensemble”) invites students to explore and creatively engage with the question of how we inhabit, design, and experience spaces together, particularly in the European context. This is a research-oriented, practical design project in collaboration with students and teachers from the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design Toulon Provence Méditerranée (ésadtpm). The project is funded by the Office for University Cooperation of the French Embassy in Germany, the Franco-German Youth Office, and the Franco-German University. -
European Studies in DesignMEDes
The Master of European Design (MEDes) is five year programme existing over more than 25 years made by a network of seven European design schools: Ensci - Les Ateliers, GSA - Glasgow School of Arts, Konstfack University, KISD TH Köln, Aalto University, Politecnico di Milano and Aveiro University. Students in this network spend a total of two years at two different universities abroad before returning to their home university in their final year to complete their master's degree. These diverse experiences provide them with different approaches to design, multi-national perspectives and sensitivity to cultural differences. The MEDes course encourages and enables students to develop their creativity and imagination, their design research and investigation skills, and their professional executive practice. -
