The Royal Danish Academy—Architecture, Design, Conservation strives to be an active, creative and leading actor in society by contributing to tackling the major national and global challenges of our time. The Royal Danish Academy is a research and educational institution that is drawing on a historical foundation within the fields of architecture, design and conservation. Based on a solid tradition the Royal Danish Academy constantly develops its subject areas by uniting three fields of knowledge: academic research, artistic research and professional practice, which are three different ways of discovering, inventing and creating.

The graduate exhibition 'New Design and Architecture' shows how a new generation of architects and designers deal with specific complex problem areas. Their projects inspire others to opt for a novel approach to accelerating sustainable development and living. The 250 graduate projects emphasise how architecture and design can be important drivers of societal change. Moreover, in an affiliated exhibition, bachelor and master students showcase Egyptian–Danish furniture, a lighting project in collaboration with Le Klint and contemporary glass and ceramic objects. Finally a group of newly established Startups trained at the academy present their innovative business ideas and prototypes with a sustainable agenda.
