In addition to being a great opportunity, the loan offers several unique advantages. Scroll through the carousel to learn more, and sign up by July 19.

What an incredible day! In Astino, Bergamo (Italy), right where the new CIID location is being built, we gathered with our community and many new friends for Fuorissimo Salone, our event during Milan Design Week 2024.

We hosted a series of inspirational talks and an exhibition of iconic pieces which showcased the evolution of human-machine interaction from Olivetti to Apple.

We want to express our gratitude to our fantastic speakers, Akshay Verma, Amit Aggarwal, Andrew Spitz, Clara Subirats Ribas, Martina Pagura, Pierluigi Dalla Rosa and Shamik Ray, who shared their different perspectives on some thought-provoking topics.

A huge thank you to the friends and partners of Magnetic Media Network for organising the exhibition.

And, of course, a special thanks to all those who came to Astino to be with us.

This was the first of what will be many insprational CIID public events at the Monastery of Astino, a place steeped in history where together with our community, we will write the next chapters for CIID.

1. To be completely immersed in a hands-on learning environment where you will learn how to do iterative and rapid prototyping.
2. A holistic curriculum taught by expert practitioners, which covers a wide range of topics and technologies including life-centred research, graphical user interfaces, physical computing, AR, AI, machine learning and service design.
3. A diverse cohort coming from different backgrounds, countries and cultures. You will work together, pooling your expertise and new-found skills to tackle a broad range of challenges.
4. Collaborative Industry Partnerships where you will be exposed to a broad range of topics and real-world contexts.
5. To be part of a tight-knit community of students, faculty, and alumni, where you can form lasting friendships and professional connections that extend far beyond your time at CIID.

Our Italian location has been carefully selected in line with our purpose to approach design from a life-centred perspective. Situated in Bergamo in a biodiverse valley, the new studio will host the Interaction Design Programme, Pop-up Schools and Industry Projects.

Students, faculty and other thought leaders will come together in this beautiful studio to collaborate on projects and learn how to design solutions for social and environmental regeneration.

We are currently accepting applications for the Interaction Design Programme 2024. The new studio in Italy is just one of the many reasons to be a part of this experience. For more information on the curriculum, the admissions process and the location, please visit our website:
