RMIT University has taken a whole-of-university approach to enabling agile and interdisciplinary collaboration across and outside the university to solve real-world problems, through the Enabling Capability Platforms (ECP). The Design & Creative Practice (DCP) is one of eight ECP research clusters at RMIT University. DCP researchers are inventive, playful, explorative and progressive in their approach to real-world problems that lie at the intersection of digital design, sustainability and material innovation. Focused on critical, agile and interdisciplinary practice-based research, this platform is committed to advancing social and digital innovation and alternative pathways for impact through collaboration. As leaders in Art & Design in Australia, the DCP ECP’s interdisciplinary, applied approach centres on social and cultural impact, making us the partner of choice in our collaborations with research agencies, other universities, and government, community and industry bodies. The DCP has four key priority areas that seek to capture our unique expertise in key areas for industry and external collaborators. DCP are leaders in innovative interdisciplinary methods around practice-led research, social and digital inquiry, and providing alternative modes of engagement. The priority areas include: 1. Designing for the Future of Health 2. Playful Technologies for social solutions 3. Social enterprise and sustainability 4. Transforming creative industry practices
