The second International Conference on Creative\Media/Technologies (IConCMT) offers international exchange in several established research areas. Within two days, topics from various international research communities will be brought into dialogue with local researchers.
The program Different Brilliant: Excellent Master Theses offers best-practice insights into approaches of applied and artistic research projects in the field of media, design and production. Additionally, a Graduate Consortium presents ideas and topics of future master theses at St. Pölten UAS.
Innovative Research in Master Theses
Different Brilliant showcases master theses with innovative research approach from Austria’s higher education institutions in the field of design. Different Brilliant provides insights for students to conceptualize their own research methodology. In addition to well established methods like analyses, questionnaires, expert or in-depth interviews, there are new possibilities to discover today. Media, Design and Production can be investigated through the lens of empirical evidence and artistic practice. To do research in the design space today bridges, modifies and implements methods from various domains.
