Digital Design

International Relations

The studio is a place for meeting, discussion and sharing, a space for self-realization. Not only in school assignments, but also in various activities that give us meaning. All this leads to better knowledge and learning.

We undertake various activities together with the Product Design Studio. The most important and longest running project (since 2009) is the Design at the Frontier professional international conference, which we hold every year in mid-May, at the end of the summer term. Traditionally, after the conference there is a student video mapping festival called Maska in the evening, which we co-organize and our students’ works are a regular part of the screening.

Other FMK studios and partner schools from abroad are also gradually involved in exhibition projects based on joint assignments. Among the larger exhibitions we have realized:
made in paper (2019-20), FoodPrint (2020-21), Taste the Waste (2021-22), Long Life (2022-24), Identity (2023-24), DESIGN X HOBBY, (2024), Less is More (2024-2025)

We try to travel every year for inspiration and knowledge, our regular destinations include Ars Electronica, galleries, exhibitions and important cultural monuments throughout Europe.

Abroad

Students regularly travel to partner schools as part of the Erasmus programme.
