Sir James Dyson and Design Leaders Begin Advising the Most Exciting Educational Project
March 3, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Design London, a collaborative project between the Royal College of Art (RCA) and Imperial College London, met its new Advisory Board for the first time in late January to discuss and agree the programme for the next five years.
Some of the biggest names in the world of international product and service design have announced their support for the new project, under the Advisory Board's chairman Sir James Dyson.
Sir James explained his expectations for the project:
"The Royal College of Art, Imperial College's Faculty of Engineering and its Tanaka Business School are three wonderful institutions working on an area vital to our country's economic success.
Design London will improve the integration of engineering, business and design technology to maintain our country's competitive edge and help it create entrepreneurial opportunities."
Design London will achieve this through "a new, exciting and relevant programme of teaching, business incubation services and research.
It's one of the most exciting educational proposals I have seen in many years."
