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).
