 In 1974, the Icsid Secretariat moved from Paris, France to Brussels, Belgium, moving onto Helsinki, Finland, and in 2005, it settled to Montreal, Quebec, Canada where it currently resides.In the 1980s, collaboration became even more important so a joint Icsid/Icograda/IFI Congress was held in Helsinki.The impetus for this joint conference was a direct recommendation made by Icsid members to explore closer ties with other world design organizations.
