Calling motivated young professionals from all around the world to join Dutch Invertuals Academy!

Dutch Invertuals Academy is an intensive, online program for young design professionals interested in developing their skills and career. After a successful first edition we are launching the next Dutch Invertuals Academy program in January 2021! Will you be part of it? Sign up during Dutch Design Week 2020 and receive a discount.

Rock with
the best!

You will be rocking with the best in fields like color and material research, design experiment and concept development. Experienced tutors, lecturers, and special guests from our vast Invertual network – each with their own set of skills and expertise – will guide you through this inspiring journey.

Time schedule of first Academy program (as example)

True

Matter

Dutch Invertuals Academy is centered around the theme ‘True Matter’, an expression of the global shift from a careless to a caring attitude. Because participants join from all around the world, this theme sheds a light on our local identities, but also gives us insight in what truly matters globally.

Practical details

To apply, send us a selection of your work in pdf (max. 5 pages with images and text), and a personal statement (1 page) to academy@dutchinvertuals.nl before December 13. We only have a limited number of places available, so we will carefully select participants according to their ambition, passion, experimental attitude, and focus. Selected participants will be notified on December 20.

Upon acceptance, you will receive an invoice for the admission fee. After payment, your participation is confirmed and you will join the Academy starting January 18. Before the start of the program we will send you all the necessary information including time schedules and briefings.

Feel free to contact us via academy@dutchinvertuals.nl for more information.
