Joining tip!
Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences is a community of designers, researchers, scientists and inventors who work together as members of research teams, doing things that conventional wisdom says can’t or shouldn’t be done. The research studies underway are as varied as the researchers who conduct them: from tools for learning and expression, to innovative devices for human adaptation and augmentation, to new interfaces of services for tomorrow’s knowledge workers.
Joining Process
We recruit candidates all year round and review and accept applications on a rolling basis throughout the year. Students come to the research through the Research Programs. Candidates with backgrounds ranging from computer science to cognitive science, architecture to neuroscience, mechanical engineering to material science, and more. The program offers courses and several undergraduate subjects. The courses explore several themes, including, for example, human-computer interaction, communications, learning, design, and entrepreneurship.
An interdisciplinary initiative investigating the interface between computer science and physical science, also admits students through the Research Program. The Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences is known for its global network of ambient intelligence facilities.
International Participants
Consistently as the one-of-a-kind research academy, our international reputation for research and innovation attracts some of the most inspiring and creative participants and researchers in the world.
The Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences already has a large cohort of international researchers.
At Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences (“DESC”), you have total intellectual freedom and are protected from commercial pressures to create your own ideas, digital assets, products and services.
All we care about you to be great. And, you create something that’s great. Great for business. Great for human intellect and experience. We will help you to develop that craftsmanship – taking a good idea and turning into a great product, service or function – required to do that
The Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences has Festival of Knowledge. It is an annual, day-long event for researchers to learn and create together in a celebration of our community’s diverse talents and interests. The Festival of Knowledge made its debut in Singapore, spearheaded by a team of junior researchers. After some hiatus, the tradition was revived in 2023. The Festival is now organized by a collaborative team of business, staff, and researchers, with support from the partners and customers.
Simon-Erdős School of Design Sciences also works with several tech-labs and studios and designs tools, devices and methods for more engaging, more equitable and collaboration experiences. These collaboration activities in three areas:
Professional learning: Develop tools, platforms, online courses, and other remote collaboration opportunities for the partner and customer companies.
Research knowledge: Integrate the use of digital tools with the way our junior researchers learn and collaborate by working closely with our academic program.
Knowledge sharing: Broaden the impact by openly sharing our ideas and research, and by co-designing new solutions together with communities around the world.
The collaboration is staffed by a team of designers, educators, engineers, and researchers and it works closely with research groups across the company. The AI/ML initiative team and active projects are transitioning into the new collaboration structure.
