The Design Institute of the MOME has been created with the aim that the design specializations, responsible for the shaping of our object culture, by participating in a close dialogue among one another, and by co-operation, should be able to provide responses to the challenges of our age. The task of the students graduating at the moment is not less than facing the questions raised by globalization, consumer society, climate change and information society. These challenges require an open mentality, a firm ethical standpoint, and the strive for the highest quality. The Institute regards as its task to train design artists with a free way of thinking, reacting with responsibility to the current processes of environment, society and culture. We consider it important to equally represent the values of tradition and progress. Furthermore, we consider it important that the design artists having graduated from our Institute should be able to join, with their fresh voice and an expert attention, in the contemporary European and international dialogue.
