 Icsid’s early goals were to help public awareness of industrial designers, to raise the standard of design by setting standards for training and education, and to encourage cooperation between industrial designers worldwide.To do this, in 1959 Icsid held the first Congress and General Assembly in Stockholm, Sweden.At this first Congress the Icsid Constitution was officially adopted, along with the first definition of industrial design which may be found on their website (please see external references).
