University of the Future
MOME defines itself as the heir to László Moholy-Nagy’s intellectual legacy: the students are the creative designers, artists, and theoreticians of the future, drawing on their creativity to address the most pressing issues of our times, and providing new perspectives to benefit society, economy, and culture.
Following in Moholy-Nagy’s footsteps, MOME is becoming a “laboratory for a new education”, a constantly experimenting institution that keeps reinventing itself (László Moholy-Nagy, Vision in Motion, 1946, 1996.).
The University of the Future model builds on MOME’s rich legacy of nearly a century and a half, community, and core values, reinforcing enduring values and reinventing outdated ones. Its mission is to redefine the university’s value proposition for new generations of students around the challenges of the future. The University of the Future is an embodiment of MOME's future that we build and shape together, where essential competencies and mindsets are cultivated, interdisciplinary connections flourish, learning paths become more flexible, and personalised development and mentorship, as well as collaboration among students, faculty, researchers, and staff are prioritised.
The university’s community – the students, teachers, researchers, and other staff – lie at the heart of the University of the Future model. Key values include the human scale and and personal tone underyling the university’s culture, as well as its professional diversity, and the synchronicity of art, design, and scientific thinking. The model provides a modus operandi that is based on the knowledge belonging to the current teacher and researcher base, and flexibly reorganises the university’s internal competencies and links remote areas of knowledge to them, creating new synergies, as well as unexpected connections and opportunities for the future.
