The idea is to keep in touch with a creative, cultural and business community, where all members can bring out their own experiences and enhance the value of the network itself by posting job offers and cultural initiatives, specifically intended for the community.
Two representative bodies operate at IED. Their aim is to provide advice and support as required, deal with requests and submit proposals to the Academic Council as far as teaching and student services are concerned.
