HDMI
The house for design management and innovation is a space where science, art and economy are joined. In HDMI, we strengthen the way to competent social articles in science and art. The mentioned articles are an integral part of design, which is becoming more prominent in today’s (21st century) and takes on a holistic function in the economy. In HDMI, different training courses and round tables take place on the basis of topical social topics. We are currently experiencing a problem that burdens the physiological and safety needs of man. And these two needs are for the existence of the Earth and for us the most important. They are dependent on the progress, implementation and absorption of knowledge from sustainable development. Therefore, we invite leading and internationally recognized names in the fields of design, environmental protection, social ethics, morale and management to guest lectures and in their circles. We strive towards a path that leads to knowledge and shaped sustainable design in all aspects of sustainable development.
In the Design management, located in HDMI, we are educating ourselves on a daily basis in the field. Among them are also professional workers who unselfishly transfer knowledge with the latest data and research to students. We participate in various projects in cooperation with companies and explore the ways in which ways and how to introduce modern thinking and organization (DM), also in organizations with a long tradition. When we mention the DM, we are talking about the organization of a company with a focus on the design and organization of work in interdisciplinary / transdisciplinary time. The House of design will be intended for the promotion and advertising of patents and products that were created during pedagogical education by students and mentors. And for this purpose, every school year we organize a final rapture called Design Explotion. We also offer a gallery space for the year-end project work
