EU-NZ Pilot Cooperation in Higher Education
Leonardo: A multi-national exploration in Interaction Design and research
The Leonardo project is a collaboration between four leading design and engineering schools of Europe and three partners in New Zealand to develop a unique multi-cultural word-class learning experience in Interaction Technology and Design. The main focus of the programme is to promote the exchange of EU and NZ students at the post-graduate level. This three-year programme will expose NZ students to the richness of European design while teaching Europeans the unique creativity of New Zealand. These students will be the next generation of interaction designers who will develop the products that meet the needs of the future.
