Factories

Design Factory, Media Factory and Service Factory are the first joint projects of the Aalto University, the so called New Expertise Workshops. The workshops provide learning, teaching, research, and co-operation environments in which the academic teams and projects as well as companies or communities work together. The workshops support international principles, open innovation, and new ways of learning and teaching as well as an interdisciplinary attitude. The objective is that the research information will be seamlessly transferred into teaching.

The workshops are based on areas in which the three universities already co-operate. The Design Factory concentrates on product development, Media Factory on the media and Service Facotory on services that produce higher added value.
