Design Club Scholarship
#designclubfi
Design Club Scholarship is a new grant that aims to support projects that create new business opportunities in arts and design. This includes e.g. new innovations, product and service developments which promote the importance of art and design in business or have a wider impact on our society.
Design Club is a business network for companies led by the Design Museum Helsinki in cooperation with Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture. Scholarship is an essential part of its activities. Design Club will actively follow the supported projects and invite the awarded students to participate to its meetings and events.
The call of 2018 was open for Aalto University of Arts, Design and Architecture MA-students and Doctoral candidates. Work groups were also eligible. We received a total of 32 requests during the grant cycle 15.1.-7.5.2018.
This time the selected works explore new business opportunities in art and design using the digital automation as an enabler and tool.
