That's why, this edition of the international competition is your chance to put your creativity at the service of sustainability and win one of the 50 Scholarships offered by IED and Accademia di Belle Arti “Aldo Galli” covering 50% of the tuition fees for Undergraduate and Foundation courses in Italy and Spain.  

THE BRIEF 

Today's world is complex and interconnected, with limited resources that have created economic and social challenges to which we must respond together. This is why sustainable development is essential: it means making the planet a better place for everyone, today and tomorrow. In this context, design becomes a fundamental tool for rethinking the way we care for the world.  

Develop a concept based on one of the 17 goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
