The Design Wild Week is a project week of design programs among Austrian universities.

Students and teachers can switch universities for one week and gain new insights and perspectives. It is an initiative of the Academic Design Network Austria.

Idea

The Design Wild Week aims to exchange experiences and knowledge quickly and efficiently. In addition, awareness of the quality of design education in Austria should be increased. The goal of the joint exchange is to promote and publicize the potential of the students and a rapid transfer of knowledge. The concept is inspired by the project week at the FH St. Pölten (Rosa von Suess, Markus Wintersberger), where students can work on interdisciplinary projects at their campus.

Solution

The project is designed as an MVP and therefore draws on established concepts and procedures. For the central organization of the information, online shared table sheets are used, which are filled out by the respective study programs and teachers themselves. In addition, a website provides all necessary links and contact informations. To enable a fair and feasible organization of the courses, the ticket system Pretix was used.
