Groundbreaking research methods Researchers explore urban futures and sustainability using communication, design, mixed reality and moving images.

About our research 

The growth in demand for talented designers and communicators in Vietnam means that now is an exciting time to embark on a career path in the creative and cultural industries. Our programs in the fields of communication, design, fashion and game design provide the most up-to-date and industry-relevant learning experience to help students prepare for the workforce, which will be vital for adapting to the new normal of 2022. The international learning environment at RMIT encourages cultural awareness, critical thinking, experimentation and, above all else, the ability to think differently. With their technical expertise and highly developed interpersonal skills, our graduates will continue to be in high demand. We provide many opportunities for our students to connect with industry partners through activities such as internships and class projects, making for a smooth transition into the workforce, while also supporting their local community.

Research at the School of Communication and Design utilises creative practice research to complement traditional research methods, a practice that is fairly new to Vietnam. Researchers explore diverse and impactful topics through the cities & urbanism, sustainability, and creativity heritage and society clusters.

The School of Communication & Design projects span the breadth of our areas of focus- across festivals, exhibitions, labs and centres.

List of projects

Cities and urbanisation.

This project is ideally a non-traditional research output (NTRO) or a practice-based project. It will explore the lifeworld and livability of the mega-urban region of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It aims to create new knowledge and innovative creative practice that draws on a phenomenological approach and/or any sensory method including but not limited to visual, sonic, olfactory, tactile, culinary, affective, atmosphere, material, etc.

The theoretical perspective is open, depending on the applicant’s preference and track record, but we are keen to engage with emerging and innovative approaches from the environmental humanities that rethink the dominance of humans in urban built and natural environments.

You will join a growing team of dynamic researchers and designers in the School of Communication and Design at RMIT Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. The sensory project will produce an exhibition, a dissertation and presentation of practice, followed by examiners' questions. More information about this format is available at RMIT University Practice Research .

Creativity Heritage Society

The National Strategy for the development of Vietnamese cultural industries with a vision to 2030 addresses 5 key themes:

• Creative Education and Skills, Governance
• Investment and Regulation
• Audiences and Market Development
• Clustering Networking
• International Positioning

The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a series of opportunities to redefine the role and development of culture industries in Vietnam, particularly with a view towards sustainability and localisation.

This project seeks an enthusiastic practice-based researcher to propose a project using an innovative methodology that addresses how the National Strategy and pertinent stakeholders are responding to the reinvigorated attention to sustainability (as informed by UNESCO) and the local, social, and vernacular character through one (or more) of the above-mentioned themes.

Sustainability

Vietnam’s industry needs to explore more viable, and sustainable material solutions. This research project will primarily focus on an experimental approach to designing new material possibilities that will help us to overcome the environmental impacts and unethical practices of the current industry while combining the knowledge of traditional and future craftsmanship.

You will be passionate about designing for a circular and sustainable economy bringing together traditional knowledge, cross-cultural practices and innovative technologies to scope the scaling up of new material processes to commercialisation.

Possible approaches are to reimagine new material processes and propose alternative material solutions to meet the increased demand for sustainable materials. Defining the specific materials and technologies used will be developed throughout the project period in collaboration with the research team. The theoretical entry point and methodology will depend on the profile of the PhD candidate. Your aim is to develop new strategies for sustainable material futures. Alignment with the implementation and/or evaluation of the United Nations SDGs will be viewed favourably.

Report "Vietnam Digital Music Landscape 2024"

What are the factors driving the digital music market's success? What are the advanced music business models based on disruptive technology? What are the next trends for development in this industry?

Graduate Researcher KnowHow

Writing your research proposal.

The written proposal is submitted to the milestone review panel members (selected by the supervisors according to the School policy) at least one week before the presentation. They will read the proposal and come to the presentation with feedback and questions. At the presentation, it’s usual for your supervisors to deliberate with the panel to assess your proposal and make recommendations for the next stage of research.

There is not one set structure for all research proposals at RMIT, so you’ll need to check your school guidelines. Although they all discuss the ‘what’, the ‘why’ and the ‘how’, you may find it difficult to identify each of these elements, particularly the first two.  There is also substantial disparity in the length required between schools. Some schools ask for 2 – 5 pages, some 8 – 10 pages, and others can be considerably longer. Specific elements found in research proposals also vary between disciplines. Here is a list of elements that are always included and elements that are often included:

Whenever we write anything, we first need to think about purpose and audience.

The purpose  of your research proposal:

1. To allow experienced researchers (your supervisors and their peers) to assess whether

• the question or problem is viable (that is, answers or solutions are possible)
• the research is worth doing in terms of its contribution to the field of study and benefits to stakeholders
• the scope is appropriate to the degree (Masters or PhD)
• you’ve understood the relevant key literature and identified the gap for your research
• you’ve chosen an appropriate methodological approach.

2.To help  you clarify and focus on what you want to do, why you want to do it, and how you’ll do it. The research proposal helps you position yourself as a researcher in your field. It will also allow you to:

• systematically think through your proposed research, argue for its significance and identify the scope 
• show a critical understanding of the scholarly field around your proposed research
• show the gap in the literature that your research will address
• justify your proposed research design
• identify all tasks that need to be done through a realistic timetable
• anticipate potential problems
• hone organisational skills that you will need for your research
• become familiar with relevant search engines and databases
• develop skills in research writing.

The  audience  for your research proposal

Your reviewers are your main audience. They may have a strong disciplinary understanding of the area of your proposed research, but depending on your specialisation, they may not. It is therefore important to create a clear context, rationale and framework for your proposed research. Limit jargon and specialist terminology so that non-specialists can comprehend it. You need to convince the reviewers that your proposed research is worth doing and that you will be able to effectively ‘interrogate’ your research questions or address the research problems through your chosen research design.

The toolkit consists of seven steps and a user manual that permits anyone in the fashion industry to use and adapt it for their circumstances. It is available to download free of charge with the hope it can reach a wide audience and encourage action.

Garcia said Fashion Futuring emerged as a response to the urgency to include creativity, societal values and collaboration in business efforts towards sustainable and regenerative futures. 

“Ultimately, Fashion Futuring is an invitation to industry stakeholders to think about what matters beyond profit and, more importantly, to act systemically to tune their business models accordingly to a new system of  values,” she said.

Fashion Futuring was tested and iterated with designers, design students, fashion forecasters, and the general public in workshop sessions conducted over a 14-month period. 

Feedback from participants indicated that Fashion Futuring has the potential to inaugurate a new way of thinking about fashion and futures, moving beyond next-season trends by helping multiple stakeholders in industry or education to think and act together in transitioning towards sustainability.

The Fashion Futuring toolkit was developed as part of Garcia’s PhD. Her win at the Victorian Premier’s Design Awards follows her success in the 2023 Good Design Awards where Fashion Futuring won for Fashion Impact. 

Innovation for motorcyclists highly commended 

Industrial Design graduate Trystan Paderno was highly commended in the Student Design Category for Project Shift, a prosthetic solution for amputee motorcycle riders. 

The project adopts a holistic design philosophy that addresses the functional issues of riding as well as the psychological inhibitions amputees are confronted with.

Paderno’s research for Project Shift revealed that many solutions currently on the market are costly and require an amputee to modify their motorcycle, which also comes at significant expense. 

Project Shift presents an alternative option: a fully adaptable prosthetic leg. The prosthetic’s knee and ankle movements can be adjusted in a matter of seconds using the Project Shift app to ensure they are optimised for the motorcycle. 

While riding, the function of the leg is controlled by a handlebar-mounted wireless remote with 3 buttons, which can be used without hindering rider focus. 

Paderno developed Project Shift during his Honours design research course while studying at RMIT. He received the 2022 RMIT Industrial Design Dean’s Award for the project. 

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees at this year’s Victorian Premier’s Design Awards.

US FAA Boosting Oversight of United, May Delay Airline Projects

By David Shepardson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is increasing oversight of United Airlines to ensure the carrier's compliance with safety regulations, the agency said on Saturday, following a series of safety incidents.

The FAA will initiate a formal evaluation to ensure the Chicago-based airline "is complying with safety regulations; identifying hazards and mitigating risk; and effectively managing safety," it said in a statement to Reuters.

"Certification activities in process may be allowed to continue, but future projects may be delayed based on findings from oversight."

United declined to comment.

A source confirmed a Bloomberg News report that the FAA could potentially not approve allowing customers on United's new planes or new routes. The FAA declined to comment.

United said on Friday the FAA would boost scrutiny of the airline following more than a half dozen safety incidents in recent weeks.

An external panel was missing from a United aircraft when it landed in Oregon, prompting an FAA investigation. A Boeing 737 MAX in its fleet rolled onto the grass in Houston. A United-operated Boeing 777-200 bound for Japan lost a tire after takeoff from San Francisco and was diverted to Los Angeles, where it landed safely.

United's corporate safety vice president, Sasha Johnson, said in a memo on Friday that over the next several weeks employees will see more of a presence by the FAA "in our operation as they begin to review some of our work processes, manuals and facilities."

The incidents "have rightfully caused us to pause and evaluate whether there is anything we can and should do differently," Johnson's memo said, adding that the airline welcomed the FAA's input.

On Tuesday, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker told Reuters the agency would look at United more closely following the recent incidents, saying United CEO Scott Kirby "knows we're going to be engaging a little more closely with them as we look into these."
