The Royal College of Art’s rich tradition of interdisciplinary working and innovation underpins its research and knowledge exchange. Design and creativity are at the core of our research and knowledge exchange activities. We share our state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research with external companies and institutions to transfer knowledge and create impact.

Our academic experts collaborate closely with small businesses, multinational corporations and enterprises as well as government, universities and charities. We help them bringing design, creativity and critical thinking to their day-to-day businesses and developing their innovation capabilities. Our knowledge exchange activities include executive education, studio and live projects undertaken as student projects and supervised by top-class tutors, collaborations with other universities and industry collaboration.
