UDIT visits Paris as part of its internationalisation strategy
UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, has visited different Parisian universities and écoles, taking new steps in its internationalisation strategy and strengthening existing relationships with its French counterparts.
In this way, Verónica Meléndez, Director of International Relations at UDIT, has held meetings with different centres, mainly focused on the areas of Animation and Fashion, both industries of great importance in France.
During the visit to the prestigious academic institution leader in animation Gobelins, working sessions have been developed in which interesting meeting points have been detected, and different formats of cooperation through projects, which will allow students in the disciplines of animation and video games to complement their training with first class experiences.
Also, together with the Director of the Fashion Department, Maruca García, a visit was made to ESMOD, one of the most prestigious fashion schools in France, which stands out, among many other aspects, for its 150 years of history and its great documentary archive. A session was also held there in which actions were proposed, not only for the students, but also for the teaching staff.
Likewise, the Director of International Relations at UDIT was also able to visit ENSAD, the French school of arts with the highest QS ranking and a benchmark among art and design schools throughout Europe, where she was able to see its impressive resources and machinery; also LISAA, where she was able to advance a series of ideas on joint projects and programmes; and Sup de Pub, part of the OMNES group and a great reference in the field of Advertising.
Connecting with students
This trip, in coordination with another simultaneous study trip, was joined on this occasion by the Fashion teacher Victoria Vásquez, who was also able to get to know some of the institutions visited, learning about their teaching methods and resources, as well as sharing knowledge and experience with LISAA students, where she gave a workshop on Methodologies for 3D reconstruction of clothing heritage. The aim of this activity was to introduce students to various methodologies for digitising garments using 3D software, specifically Clo3D.
Throughout this session, the students acquired knowledge about the current state of conservation of costume heritage and explored the potential of 3D as a complementary tool in the preventive conservation and dissemination of heritage, applied to costume collections.
