Elisava Research

Hello! Welcome to the R+D+i Center of Elisava University. Design and Engineering research are transdisciplinary innovation agents, and more than ever creativity is a driver for purposeful transformation. Counting on a multi disciplinary research and tech transfer team and a series of lab and prototyping spaces, our mission is to generate meaningful impact and transfer knowledge in academic, industrial and cultural contexts, and to society as a whole. Elisava Research is an ideal partner to reach out for knowledge and tech transfer team and a series of lab and prototyping spaces, our mission is to generate meaningful impact and transfer knowledge in academic, industrial and cultural contexts, and to society as a whole.

Elisava Research is an ideal partner to reach out for knowledge and tech transfer by means of collaborative R+D+i Projects, through European-funded projects with interdisciplinary academic partners, and through added-value innovation projects with companies and institutions.

Our research and innovation capabilities are structured around our Research Groups, that demonstrate the areas in which we academically excel; and around our Research Labs, that provide direct applied research in the form of innovation products for institutions and companies.

Elisava Research is a vibrant community of academic researchers in the fields of design and engineering and a solid ecosystem of international partners and collaborators. We lead the official Consolidated Research Group ‘Research through Design’ (GRC – 2021 SGR 01497).

We offer doctoral training, with a solid scientific scopus, and with PhD programmes from our core University and also in collaboration with a network of Universities.

We publish regularly in recognised scientific journals, curate and edit books and magazines, as well as our indexed annual scientific Journal Temes de Disseny.

We dynamise our R+D+i ecosystem and disseminate results to society by means of activities such as hosting conferences, seminars, or public exhibitions.

We manage research and innovation with the support of our technical office. Please contact directly the specific unit depending on your request.
