Our association

Today, lille—design is changing and growing.
In order to widen the representativeness of all the design stakeholders and users and to adapt even better to our environment, we are creating 5 representative colleges within our structure governed by the law of 1901 on non-profit organisations.
Join us by becoming a member of our association. You are sure to find a college that suits you!
