You are here! From our green campus to our creative community, Pratt is the place to be your very best.
The flagship event for research at Pratt Institute, Research Open House features researchers who are interested in the impact design can have on addressing, exploring, and challenging the boundaries of discovery and innovation.
Attendees include fellow researchers from across all of Pratt’s departments as well as visitors from other academic institutions, funders, elected officials, community groups, alumni, and industry and civic leaders.
The 2025 Research Open House is organized around four research areas: Experiential Health and Technology, Urban Community Design, Innovation in Industry, and Artificial Intelligence in Creative Practice. Participants from industry, community-based organizations, and other academic institutions joined Pratt faculty and students in exhibiting their work this year.
