About

The Interaction Design Programme is a collaborative initiative between Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (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 Danish Ministry of Economy and Trade, The Danish Ministry of Culture, Novo Nordisk and The Danish Design School have awarded financial funding for the programme. The JL Foundation sponsored technical equipment for the project it-lab.

We hope that many interesting projects will come in to fruition this year and that by working together we will create a centre for excellence in design, technology and innovation.
