| about | The Interactive Institute is a multidisciplinary, innovation-oriented research institute working in the area of digital media. The Institute operates in the border zone between art, technology, science and enterprise. Research within the Interactive Institute is heavily based on building prototypes, thus making us similar to an innovation shop. Just as our mission is to investigate applied IT, it is always vital for us to build functioning prototypes. This working method facilitates the goal for our work to be within the sphere of applied results. It also serves as an interface to make our research tangible for the general public. In some sense, our work may be closer to popular science, but it’s always driven by a research focus. The search for new knowledge and new understanding is always the force behind what we do. The Interactive Institute was started by the Foundation for Strategic Research. Last summer it became an integrated part of a newly established group of four institutes, all within the field of applied IT research. Ownership of the Interactive Institute has thus been transferred to the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS). |
