+ +Syllabus⇝
+The Beyond Sessions is a cycle of lectures and talks featuring international guest speakers who are experts in various fields, organized throughout the academic year for master's students in Elisava's Beyond programs. Each master's program opens certain masterclasses from its curriculum to students from other Beyond programs, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and a shared calendar of talks. Topics range from speculative product design to artistic research, from architecture to activism. +Each of the guest speakers is invited on the premise that their career experience and point of view will expand student’s worldview and add unexpected ideas and fresh resources to their conceptual toolbox. At the same time, it will be an opportunity to share with other students with diverse backgrounds and interests. A cross-pollination exercise between the Masters in Critical Design, Data Design, Beyond Branding, Design for Responsible AI, Design Through New Materials, Beyond Products and Design for Emergent Futures that will expand students' experience beyond the conventional boundaries of our fields.
