INNOVATION DESIGN | International School of Advanced Studies Unicam

ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN, PLANNING

The curriculum aims to train highly qualified researchers and professionals with a strong scientific and cultural background who are capable of:

Conduct research and development activities in cultural, design, and technological areas using innovative methods and scientific rigor. The doctoral graduates will possess a high degree of individual research autonomy while also being capable of effectively interacting with interdisciplinary research groups;
Introduce, support, and develop innovation processes in the development of strategically complex and competitive projects. This will be achieved through the application of knowledge, skills, and methodologies typical of design, along with a good ability to engage with the cultural, economic, and production system, institutions, and businesses;
Facilitate the transfer of know-how and skills from one socio-cultural and/or technological-production context to another through methodologies and practices of action research. This involves conducting research actions aimed at improving or solving a problem in a continuous circularity between theory and practice.

The Innovation Design curriculum offers employment and professional opportunities in both public and private sectors where research and innovation activities are present or required. Additionally, there are opportunities within Italian and international university institutions and research centers.

The curriculum focuses on three main research topics:

Design of objects, Design of innovative and intelligent systems and environments for Active and Assisted Living; ICT for ageing wellness; Smart and Green Mobility; Internet of Things and enabling technologies of Industry 4.0.
Design for environmental sustainability and process and product innovation Methods, tools, and strategies of Design for Environmental Sustainability; Life Cycle Design and Bio-inspired Design for the development of innovative products, systems, and services; Circular Economy; Applications of innovative materials.
Communication Design, new technologies.

research topics

Her research activities have always focused on the deepening of environmental issues related to the design and eco-innovation of industrial products, with particular interest in the application of innovative methodologies, techniques and tools for the development of sustainable design and of design-driven innovation processes. She has participated, as a scientific coordinator and responsible, at national and international research projects, funded by competitive tenders and by third party agreements. He has received awards for his scientific activity to promote technology transfer and the creation of innovative start up. She has participated in many conferences in Italy and abroad and has coordinated and curated lectures, seminars, conventions and workshops on design issues. He has published many books, articles and papers about design, sustainable design and eco-innovation, bio-inspired design including in scientific journals in "class A" and she has collaborated and she collaborates yet, also as a member of the Scientific and Editorial Boards, with national and international journals. She also was Scientific Director of the International Biennial of Design – Edition “0” – “Laboratorio di idee per l’innovazione e il futuro” (Ascoli Piceno/San Benedetto del Tronto, 21 April-15 July 2010) and, from 2014 to 2016, she was Scientific Coordinator of the project “Distretto Culturale Evoluto del Piceno. Il design del Bello, Buono e Benfatto”, co-funded by the Marche Region and eveloped by a public-private partnership. From 2015 to 2018, she was President of Industrial Design Association (ADI) “Marche Abruzzo Molise” section. From 2013 to present she is President of EcodesignLab Srl, an academic spin off at the School of Architecture and Design of Unicam. She was a member founder of SID-Industrial Design Society, a scientific society of Italian University Researchers of Industrial Design, and from 2018 to present she is member of the Steering Committee of SID. Finally, from 2018 she is Scientific Coordinator of the research project “S.A.F.E. - Sustainable design of anti-seismic furniture, as smart and life-savng systems during an earthquake”, an industrial research project that involves 11 different public and private partners and that is co-funded by the MIUR- POR - Research and Innovation 2014/2020.
