CIID offers a range of educational activities ranging from The Interaction Design Programme currently running in collaboration with the Danish Design School, to shorter modules and workshops for other academic institutions and professional training for companies and organisations.
The Interaction Design Programme
The Interaction Design Programme is a collaborative initiative between CIID and The Danish Design School (DKDS). Our aim is for students, faculty and staff to work together in a multi-cultural, multidisciplinary studio environment to co-create a new kind of education that is relevant for academia and industry.
After a rigorous selection process, 21 students from all around the world have been chosen to participate in a full-time, experimental version of a future Masters course in interaction design.
The Interaction Design Programme is a full-time intense curriculum that includes a number of skills-based modules (such as video prototyping and computational design), followed by in-depth investigations in to graphical/tangible interfaces and service design.
The Enterprise and Construction Authority (EBST), the Danish Ministry of Culture , Novo Nordisk and the JL Foundation have awarded financial funding for the planning and implementation of this pilot year.
Please visit the Interaction Design Programme website for more information on the curriculum, students and faculty.
Collaboration
CIID are keen to share knowledge and collaborate with other schools and universities and the team have been teaching and lecturing in a number of institutions in Scandinavia, including ITU, 180° Academy and DKDS.
As part of the INDEX: 2007 events, CIID was asked to run a three-week summer camp for over 30 international students. The aim of the camp was to encourage user-centered design and innovation methodologies among future generations of designers. It was a resounding success and we hope to organise similar experiences in the future.
