IIID

The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) is a global network for people who work to make information clearer – for everyday life, business, education and science.

International focus for the information design profession

  • We are recommended by UNESCO as a partner organization.
  • We run the IIID Award, the prestigious international award scheme that attracts hundreds of entries from across the world.
  • We have World Regional Representatives in over 20 countries.
  • We sit on relevant committees of the International Standards Organisation.
  • We publish the Information Design Education Directory – constantly under development.

Community for information designers, students, researchers and teachers around the world

  • Our series of IIID Conversations is an online forum for designers to meet and exchange experiences.
  • Our website and social media keep information designers in touch.
  • Vision Plus conferences, sometimes run together with partner organisations, allow members to meet and hear about new developments in practice and research.
