About CIMT

The Centre of Innovative Material and Technology (CIMT) was established to serve as a material library that houses a broad, global collection of design materials and information. With its rich and advanced resources, CIMT aims to inspire users’ creativity and facilitate material innovation, multidisciplinary studies and collaborations.

 

Material 101 Series

The Material 101 Series offer regular theme-based exhibitions, workshops and seminars co-delivered with material artists, designers, professional bodies and academics, which aim to enhance students’ learning experience with all kinds of materials, and to become familiar with professional application.

 

CIMT Studio

The CIMT Studio aims to stimulate students’ interest, keep abreast of industry trends about innovative materials and design application. The CIMT Studio runs regular applied research projects that connect students with industry professionals to realise design commercialisation. On-going projects include smart material and wearable technology as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) design.
