DSC research is cutting edge, practical and partnership based. We develop and apply new knowledge for a fairer and more sustainable world.

DSC research co-creates sustainable and inclusive post-carbon societies. We embrace diversity, transparency and accountability, while addressing inequality and navigating digital disruption in ways that benefit society. Our world-leading research across design and social context positively impacts society, industry, and government and non-government sectors.

DSC researchers span our nine schools and connect through membership of RMIT Research Centres and Groups, Enabling Impact Platforms and other cross disciplinary networks.

DSC Research Domains

Our research is concentrated across three domains: Design and creative industries; Social change, care and justice, and; Urban and built environments. Across each we lead new research methods, respond to real-world problems, seek new collaborations, and maintain a flexible and interdisciplinary approach.
