International Design Alliance
A very recent development is Istanbul’s selection as the host city of IDA 2013 World Design Congress (International Design Alliance, http://www.icsid.org/about/IDA.htm) through an application by the ITU Department of Industrial Product Design. (www.design.itu.edu.tr)
IDA is formed by ICSID (www.icsid.org), IFI (www.ifiworld.org) and ICOGRADA (www.icograda.org), the representative organizations of industrial design, interior architecture/design and graphic design fields on an international level.
