PEUGEOT and STRATE School of Design, a leading institution in design and innovation education, have entered into a partnership aimed at fostering creativity, innovation, and the development of tomorrow’s designers.
Through this collaboration, STRATE students will work on real-world design projects addressing the challenges of future mobility, user experience, and emerging technologies. Mentored by PEUGEOT design experts alongside STRATE faculty members, students will benefit from a unique immersion into the automotive industry.
Beyond knowledge sharing and educational support, this partnership also provides PEUGEOT with a unique opportunity to identify, meet, and nurture the most promising design talents of the next generation. The projects developed within this framework serve as a genuine innovation laboratory, helping to anticipate the future needs of the mobility sector.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to bringing academia and industry closer together, in order to foster innovative solutions to the challenges of sustainable mobility. It also enables us to engage with and support young design talents from the earliest stages of their educational journey,” said Matthias Hossann, PEUGEOT Design Director.
Mike Levy, Head of the Transportation and Mobility Design Department at STRATE School of Design, added:
“This collaboration provides our students with an exceptional opportunity to confront the realities and ambitions of an industry undergoing profound transformation. By working alongside an internationally renowned automotive design team celebrated for its boldness, they gain first-hand experience of its methodologies, expertise, and high standards. In return, it offers PEUGEOT valuable insight into how this new generation of designers envisions its design practice, its perception of the brand, its relationship with mobility, and the future narratives that shape it.”
By combining academic excellence with industrial expertise, PEUGEOT and STRATE School of Design aim to educate a new generation of designers capable of inventing the mobility experiences and vehicles of tomorrow.
