Innovation Center
Design-driven research, development and innovation for impact
The Innovation Center conducts impactful, design-focused, interdisciplinary R&D projects, while also inspiring designers of the CEE region.
Research Hubs
The Innovation Center conducts research across five main fields, each represented by a separate hub.
Interdisciplinary research group focusing on tangible technology, dynamic surfaces, biomaterials, electronic textiles and soft robotics. They develop prototypes, research fabrication methodologies and create new materials.
Data collection is a daily practice in the 21st century but the stories behind the data are rarely unveiled. Data storytelling helps with interactive tools and narrative methods to show patterns that can help us make decisions.
Utilizing traditional ecological knowledge, state of the art technologies, and human ingenuity and intuition, we explore ways in which industry could do more with less, and serve not only the economy, but also ecologies.
In the Interaction and Immersion Hub we are looking at the design gaps of the Metaverse-like environments and we strive to create such prototypes that can have beneficial effect our mental health and also our daily life.
Developing and supporting practice based design research in order to seek opportunities for a more sustainable lifestyle and economy.

When touched, the soft surface of the Dung-Dkar Cloak tapestry offers an intuitive, novel musical experience shaped by the tactile wandering throughout the woven interface. The artwork was created by Judit Eszter Kárpáti DLA and Esteban de la Torre, researchers of the Innovation Center of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, as part of a multisensory textile innovation research project, and will be exhibited at the Sound Scene 2023 Festival at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C. this June.
The FRUSKA education programme is directed at one of the most vulnerable social groups, providing multi-level learning experiences to teenage girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.
