IML RESEARCH PROJECTS

Istituto Marangoni London’s main research hubs are Design, Ecology and Anthropology and Post-Human Futures, with pedagogical research emerging organically from each hub as our projects evolve and our students participate.

We benefit from the uniquely international nature of our institutional network, by being an independent school while linked to 10 other schools across 5 continents. This offers exciting opportunities to develop research that is locally relevant with global significance, drawing on our diverse perspectives, experiences, collaborations and imaginings.
