About Us

We are an association of individuals across the world who deeply care about design: How we create new artefacts and systems, how we think about this creation process, and what is the impact of human-created artefacts on the world we live in and on ourselves. We express our caring for design through our efforts in research, education, practice, and outreach.

Collaborative Projects

We support and initiate collaborative research and education projects that address real-world challenges in design. These projects often span institutions, sectors, and countries, enabling innovative solutions and impactful outcomes.

Our members have co-developed tools, led comparative studies, hosted doctoral training schools, and partnered with industry to translate research into practice. The Society acts as both a connector and catalyst, helping teams find resources, collaborators, and visibility.

If you’re interested in launching or joining a collaborative initiative, we invite you to get in touch and explore what's possible. Visit Contact.
