12 presentations by staff and students from all three faculties shared their research and industry projects related to architecture, media design, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, computational media, and virtual/augmented/mixed reality.

Marc Aurel Schnabel, Dean of the Architecture and Design Faculty and the colloquium initiator, said "Creating collaboration opportunities that go beyond divisional boundaries becomes increasingly important, considering the rapid progress of technology and the diversity of social needs. There is a strong relationship to the ‘Creative Fields Projects’ and this colloquium prototyped an effective example on a small scale.”

Taehyun Rhee, co-director of CMIC said, "Based on the discussions at this colloquium, we would like to share our work and facilities across faculties to explore future avenues for collaboration."
