WHAT. MIT and SUTD open International Design Centre. On Feb. 7, the ribbon was cut on a new facility at MIT for the SUTD-MIT International Design Centre (IDC). The IDC is a joint research project of MIT and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), with facilities at both universities. The IDC aims to become the world’s premier scholarly hub for technologically intensive design, and serve as a nucleus for the growth of the MIT-SUTD Collaboration. About 200 to 300 IDC faculty researchers and students from both universities will work together to address issues facing the world by revolutionizing research on design science and by designing devices, systems and services to meet the needs of Singapore and its neighbors, the United States, and the world. In addition, the IDC will work to maximize the synergy of MIT and SUTD faculty researchers through joint projects.
In a brief ceremony, MIT Provost L. The IDC’s design projects will be organized to address the following “Grand Challenges”: WHY. SmallCompaniesBigConnections.pdf (application/pdf Object)
