Montreal (Canada) – Icsid is delighted to welcome two new provisional members to the educational pillar of membership: Istituto Quasar Design University Roma (Italy) and Swiss Design Center (Switzerland).
Istituto Quasar (Design University Roma) is an industrial design, architecture and communication design school founded in 1987 as private university for high professional studies.
