The Scientific College of Design is established upon the firm belief in and strong advocacy of the role of the arts as an agent of progressive change, and as a powerful catalyst in shaping the thoughts and actions of our national and global communities.   

Design Muscat is a platform to share meaningful stories with new audiences. Partners create the foundation of the symposium by connecting the city with various staged activities, including presentations, workshops, talks and  more. The symposium’s unique offering brings together a diverse range of creative practices in Oman. Speakers from all corners of the regional and international design community will share new perspectives on how design can preserve national identity through innovation. The sessions will be hosted at the Scientific College of Design in Muscat.

Design Muscat 2024 will explore global narratives, case studies, challenges, and policy recommendations through the experiences of practitioners, academic research, and the innovations of designers. Design Muscat 2024 will be an interdisciplinary space for debate and international networking in the disciplines of art & design to preserve national identity through hybrid presentations and interactive workshops.
