Erasmus +

ERASMUS+ is the EU programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport initiated in January 2014. The second seven-year program started in 2020 and will continue to 2027.

Erasmus Policy Statement – Overall Strategy

IAAD.’s international strategy is based on the promotion and the diffusion of design culture, starting from the Italian way of conceiving design.
The collaboration is open to all partners who share the same idea about design: design is a culture of the project, a system that links production with consumers, using research and innovation to provide social value, cultural significance to goods and services and environmental awareness. Partners can be universities, enterprises, municipalities and institutions that share this common denominator. The geographical area of focus starts in Europe and spreads all over the world. IAAD. has been collaborating with cultural institutions and universities in France, Poland, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, India, China and Japan. Targets are mainly students who are involved in the development of projects imagined for the common good, such as sustainable mobility, social communication and innovative production. These collaborations open the way to internships for students: partners can meet IAAD. students and see how they work, evaluating their skills “on the job”, so they can choose the best students and offer them work. The results of these international collaborations can be found on IAAD.’s website and are sent to the main magazines in the field, in both print and web versions.
