Research
We have an international reputation as a research
leader and collaborative partner on innovative
digital projects. We also work with industry and
government in the UK and beyond.
Central to our mission is the aspiration of
developing excellence in research, and informing
teaching in all subject areas with the results of
our project. We disseminate our work through
teaching, publication, industrial and commercial
outcomes, collaborations with other organisations
and the promotion of debate. We aim to embed
research within the culture of Ravensbourne.
Therefore our research strives to be distinctive
and offer alternatives to other universities
and academic institutions.
Particular areas of innovation include:
· Augmented and Virtual Reality for learning
· Smart Cities and urban design
· New filming and narrative technologies
· Wearable technology
· Novel materials and production techniques
If you have particular research interests,
please contact us: [email protected].
In particular we focus on design, communication
and interactive digital projects; also traditional
scholarly output relating to the applications of
technology to design and culture; applied research
in broadcast technology; and projects relevant to
the creative industries. Our extensive networks
with our academic peers, international institutions
and commercial enterprises enable Ravensbourne
to engage in significant projects that have raised
its research profile.
As a small, specialist institution, it is imperative
for Ravensbourne to encourage activity between
disciplines and search for new and innovative
thinking. This informs not only the structure of
the college but also its pedagogy and outlook.
