front page Istituto Europeo di Design (Spain)
Established in Milan in 1966 by its current President, Francesco Morelli, IED offers thorough, effective training, based on the theory and practice of design culture, to young people who want to embark on creative careers in Fashion, Design, Visual Arts and Communications.
IED is now the only international design training network. It offers three-year post-secondary school courses, advanced courses and Masters.
Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Madrid, Barcelona and São Paulo house the four Schools of Design: IED Fashion Lab, IED Design, IED Visual Arts and IED Communications.
Although all the schools and all the campuses apply the same training method and have the same underlying objectives, each one has its own strong, autonomous personality, deriving from roots that delve deep into its host city’s hinterland, production fabric and culture.
Altogether, some 9000 students from more than 90 different countries enroll in courses at IED every year. The school where they study is an international one, where the quality of the lecturers and the strong bonds with the business community that have always been at the focus of the IED training method enable creativity to blend with design culture.
Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power.
Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). A peaceful transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975, and rapid economic modernization (Spain joined the EU in 1986) have given Spain one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and made it a global champion of freedom.
Spain is a developed country with the ninth or tenth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and very high living standards (15th highest Human Development Index), including the tenth-highest quality of life index rating in the world. It is a member of the United Nations, European Union, NATO, OECD, and WTO.
Spain is renowned for its many sunny days throughout the year. The yearly climate is divided into four distinct seasons that very depending upon geographical location, thus the climate differences throughout the country can vary greatly.
