Symbiotic Futures Studio: Bridging Industry and Academia through Tech-Forward Co-Creation, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Design
2-minute Video
Project Summary
This partnership unites multidisciplinary undergraduates, researchers, faculty mentors, and industry leaders in a symbiotic triad. Faculty act as innovation brokers, curating industry challenges (e.g., AI-driven supply chains) while aligning student learning with corporate objectives. Students—novices in industry but fluent in emerging tech—engage in faculty-mentored agile sprints, co-creating prototyping modular solutions (e.g., blockchain traceability tools) while provoking partners to rethink legacy systems. Industry mentors co-teach, ensuring knowledge transfer, while students challenge assumptions through speculative "what-if" scenarios. Early outputs—exhibited prototypes, industry-adopted VR training—demonstrate how structured mentorship and co-owned risks transform inexperience into fresh perspectives, pushing partners toward ethically grounded, tech-infused futures.

Teacher Education Alliance for AIED: Scaling AI-Integrated Preparation, National Taichung University of Education
2-minute Video
Project Summary
Founded and led by National Taichung University of Education in 2024, the Teacher Education Alliance for AIED is a national initiative uniting 29 teacher education universities, all 22 local education departments in Taiwan, and 47 Professional Development Schools. The partnership aims to integrate AI meaningfully across teacher preparation.
Universities co-develop AI-integrated curricula, revise coursework, and embed AI tools into instructional design and practicum implementation. Local education departments coordinate regional implementation and policy alignment. Professional Development Schools provide authentic settings for AI-based teaching practice and school-based research.
Together, these partners drive a three-tiered strategy: curriculum innovation, clinical practice integration, and system-wide alignment through the AIGS model (AI for Education: Institutions–Governments–Schools). This structured collaboration enables scalable and sustainable transformation of Taiwan’s teacher education system.

Transformative Learning Through Global Strategic Partnerships: IE Capstone Project, IE University - IE School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs
2-minute Video
Project Summary
The Capstone Project is the flagship experiential learning program of our School, built entirely on strategic collaborations with global partner organizations—from international institutions and NGOs to private sector actors. Each year, the program engages 60+ organizations, 40 projects, and 250+ students, turning the traditional thesis into a consultancy-style, partnership-driven initiative. Final-year students from Master's and undergraduate tackle pressing, real-world challenges presented by institutions such as the European Parliament, UNICEF, IFC, and Ashoka. These partnerships are co-designed to deliver mutual value: students develop professional skills and impact portfolios, while organizations receive tailored, evidence-based insights and solutions. With a scalable and replicable structure, the Capstone Project redefines the learning journey, placing collaboration, innovation, and impact at the heart of academic outcomes. The result is a model that not only enhances student learning but also contributes to solving global policy and development challenges—making Capstone a benchmark for transformative, partnership-based education.
