The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE), located at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, holds the largest university-based design course worldwide. Knowing that many "products" created and commercialized by organizations today are not just physical objects, the IDE Faculty aims at preparing future professionals who can embody innovative ideas into the best possible manifestation, whether the design outcome is a tangible product, a multimedia application, an environment, a brand, a service, or a combination of these.

sedes research is the centre for service design research at the Köln International School of Design. The director of the research centre is Prof. Birgit Mager, who has been professor of service design since 1995, and founded the research centre in 2006.
sedes research is the first international research centre in the service design field. Fundamental research and applied research are both undertaken here. Research should contribute so that services are useful, utilizible, and inspiring.
