Oliver Szasz holds a professorship for design at Macromedia University of Applied Sciences, where he directs the international master’s programme in design management. His teaching focuses on design methodology at the interface between design and management, design theory, and research & development projects with practice partners from business, culture, and society. His research and consulting work focuses particularly on inter-and transdisciplinary research, supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange across diverse academic and professional fields. Oliver Szasz is part of the team of the Macromedia Virtual Start-up Incubator program.
Oliver Szasz is also co-founder of Anthrotopia, a non-profit initiative and transdisciplinary platform operating at the intersection of art, design, and science – three distinct yet complementary ways of engaging with the world. Art reframes perception and cultural meaning, design shapes new material and systemic possibilities, and science offers empirical insights and analytic clarity. Bringing these perspectives into dialogue, Anthrotopia explores how artistic practices, design approaches, and scientific inquiry can generate new understandings of the human place in a more-than-human world and help envision futures beyond existing paradigms.
