IED is an international education network with a 100% Italian DNA, spreading culture and innovation since 1966 in the fields of design, fashion, visual arts, communication and management. With 7 branches in Italy, 3 in Spain and 2 in Brazil, IED makes the most out of each location’s peculiarities and allows the blending of different experiences, people, and cultures. IED forms a truly unique network mixing the local culture with an international environment. Professionals from a variety of backgrounds and companies come together, in a daily cooperation with students, boosting a cross-fertilisation between areas and disciplines. The result is a flourishing of cutting-edge projects and visions, and the developing of a personal ‘Design Knowledge and Mindset’ leading students throughout their lives.
