Intel Fellowship @ CIID

MISSION

Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) announces – in collaboration with Intel Corporation – a programme that awards and fosters excellence and widespread influence in Art, Design and Technology.
The Intel Fellowship @ CIID recognises and resources outstanding initiatives that extend the impact of research and researchers in interaction design, artistic practice in technology and creative inquiry in communications and media.
The programme involves practice-based researchers in art and design with the ongoing research at CIID. It also provides artists/designers/researchers with opportunities to develop self-led projects that push boundaries in practice and research in pursuits that integrate art, design and technology practice and theory.
The emphasis of projects and programmes developed through this corporate/research partnership will be on evolving the perspectives, tools and shared knowledge of art and design communities in response to a rapidly changing and increasingly technological world.
The Fellowship will be awarded annually to an individual or group of practitioners/researchers with demonstrated potential to further disseminate and extend the influence of outstanding research and projects, perspectives, methods, and tools that contribute to a shared knowledge base and to the development of curricula in interaction design and related fields.
Fellows will have the chance to work in close collaboration with the CIID Research team throughout the residence at the CIID studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. Fellows will engage with technologists and researchers at Intel, and will have the possibility to further project and development resources through the pioneering computational technologies company.
The Intel Fellowship @ CIID is part of a network of similar programmes at other institutions internationally, all devoted to investigations in art, design and technology – fostering cross-institutional communication and influence in related disciplines. The activities of the Fellow will be enriched and supported by this global network of researchers and the Fellow will be expected to develop programmes of influence in collaboration with these other institutions and individuals.
