Grand Tour AFAM (GTA) is entering its final stretch. Promoted by the General Secretariat of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and featuring IED as a partner, the initiative is designed to foster the internationalization of the Higher Education in Art, Music and Dance (AFAM) system."

As one of the initiative's strategic partners, IED - Istituto Europeo di Design will take part in the Grand Tour AFAM closing event, held on June 10, 2026, at the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels.

The meeting will offer an opportunity to review a journey that saw AFAM institutions network to promote Italian talent and savoir-faire worldwide. It will also feature the official presentation of the Catalogue of Best Practices for Internationalization, a key document for developing future global synergies. The event, which will host institutional and European representatives, will be followed by a networking session to consolidate the connections built throughout the project.

This represents a major milestone that confirms IED's commitment to leading creative education beyond national borders.
