Royal College of Art

Battle of Ideas headline partner

The Royal College of Art is delighted to host the Battle of Ideas for the fifth year running. We’re great believers in the Battle of Ideas format - face to face and in your face. This year’s action-packed programme puts the behaviour of politicians, bankers, educators, scientists, eco-warriors and consumers under the spotlight. In a sense, as the world’s only postgraduate university of art and design, the Royal College of Art hosts its very own battle of ideas every day of the academic year as our student body from over 40 countries interacts with an outstanding line up of artists and designers on the Faculty. The College is all about debate, new ideas and interdisciplinarity. What better place than the RCA to host the Battle of Ideas?

"I was astonished by the interest and by the fact that so many thoughtful and intelligent people were willing to give up a huge part of their weekends to listen to and discuss ideas."
