IIID International Institute for Information Design
The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) was founded to develop research and practice in optimizing information and information systems for knowledge transfer in everyday life, business, education and science.
The main concern of the International Institute for Information Design (IIID) is to contribute to a better understanding within the human community with respect to cultural and economic issues by means of improved visual and other forms of communication.
Special attention is paid to the potential of graphic information design to overcome both social and language barriers.
IIID endeavours
to develop information design as an independent interdisciplinary field of knowledge and professional practice, to document and to make generally accessible specifically relevant information, to carry out research within its possibilities and in co-operation with its members and to find new ways of educating information designers.
The aims of IIID are to be achieved by interdisciplinary and international co-operation. Thus IIID has established links to renowned universities, research laboratories and design companies (see Members Network).

Partner of Design Austria
designaustria (DA) is Austria’s only professional association and service organization representing the interests of designers from all the creative disciplines – graphic design and illustration, product design, and web design.
The association was founded as early as 1927 als Bund Österreichischer Gebrauchsgraphiker (BÖG). Outstanding artists’ personalities, such as the illustrator Alfred Kubin, the typographer Rudolf von Larisch, and Joseph Binder, a pioneer of modern Austrian graphic design, numbered among its members. Today, renowned designers such as Stefan Sagmeister or Ferdinand A. Porsche continue this tradition.
In 1992 the association opened up to embrace also other fields of design, apart from graphics. This was due to an increasingly interdisciplinary professional approach and because of the fact that individual creative processes are at the basis of all design activity. Today, Design Austria has some 1,300 members from all design disciplines, most of whom work as freelance designers.
