IDEN has over the last several years evolved as an informal grouping of Industrial Design program heads from across Australia and New Zealand. It first formed as the Industrial Design National Network in 2005 at a meeting in Canberra hosted by Stephen Trathen. The Network discussed a range of shared concerns and initiatives around benchmarking curriculums, graduate standards and employer expectations. Its new name, IDEN, was formulated as an inclusive acronym for our NZ colleagues from across the ditch and to include in the future the greater Asia Pacific region.
