Premise
The Istituto d’Arte Applicata e Design – Torino (IAAD) as any other year, presents a design contest to offer the possibility to win twelve scholarships to attend the first level after-diploma specializations (Bachelor).
The four specializations - Transportation design, Industrial design, Interior & furniture design and Advertising and graphic design, are officially recognized by EABHES – European Accreditation Board of Higher Schools for the obtaining of the European Bachelor of Science in Design.

This year the overall theme of the contest is dedicated to the ethical-social and environmental function of the design: the creative skills of design as a tool for creating objects and communication campaigns aesthetically pleasant, functional, but with a strong social consciousness and environmental.
The social and environmental function of the design and related issues for the award of scholarships are promoted by the Istituto d’Arte Applicata e Design in collaboration with Save the Children. www.savethechildren.it
