He was, at various points in his career, a Visiting Professor at Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Germany; Wuhan University, China; Samara Aerospace University, Russia; Moratuwa University, Colombo, Sri Lanka; and Brunel University, West London. Until his retirement in 1999, George was Professor and Head of the Department of Design and Innovation and Director of the Centre for the Design of Intelligent Systems at the Open University. His Centre was well funded by grants from government and industry, and his department was rated 5 out of 5 in the two Research Assessment Exercises. Prof. Rzevski has published widely and delivered keynote papers at numerous international conferences. As a tribute to his successful research career, The Open University named his research laboratory the "George Rzevski Complexity Laboratory" upon his retirement. At The Open University, George pioneered undergraduate education in intelligent mechatronics, launching a course in which every student experimented at home with their own intelligent robot. He is the author of "The Future is Digital: How Complexity and Artificial Intelligence will Shape Our Lives and Work", published by Springer (2023).
