IIID International Institute for Information Design
The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) was founded to develop research and practice in optimizing information and information systems for knowledge transfer in everyday life, business, education and science.
The main concern of the International Institute for Information Design (IIID) is to contribute to a better understanding within the human community with respect to cultural and economic issues by means of improved visual and other forms of communication.
Special attention is paid to the potential of graphic information design to overcome both social and language barriers.
IIID endeavours
to develop information design as an independent interdisciplinary field of knowledge and professional practice, to document and to make generally accessible specifically relevant information, to carry out research within its possibilities and in co-operation with its members and to find new ways of educating information designers.
The aims of IIID are to be achieved by interdisciplinary and international co-operation. Thus IIID has established links to renowned universities, research laboratories and design companies (see Members Network).

Die Hilfsgemeinschaft
The Hilfsgemeinschaft (Austrian Association in Support of the Blind and Visually Impaired) has existed since 1935 as a secular, non-profit association without affiliations to a political party or group. Our goal is to improve the living conditions of visually impaired and blind people. At present we provide support and guidance for about 4,200 members from all over Austria.
The main focus of our work is to eliminate existing barriers. We are presently working to improve barrier-free communication, barrier-free architecture and barrier-free tourism.For many years the Hilfsgemeinschaft has been active in the field of eye disease prevention.
Furthermore, we draw attention to the situation of visually impaired and blind people in Austria through public information campaigns and promote awareness of human acceptance and tolerance. The Hilfsgemeinschaft is a member of numerous working groups and cooperates closely in many projects with organizations, companies, colleges and universities from different sectors. By doing so we advocate the interests of our visually impaired and blind members in a highly effective way.
The Hilfsgemeinschaft has launched ‘we see different’, a public information campaign which adopts a humorous approach to dealing with the stereotype of the pitiable blind beggar. Part of the campaign consists of a free brochure with comic strips and amusing ideas for sighted and blind people to come together in a relaxed, less inhibited atmosphere. Sighted adults and children learn to abandon their shyness and, if necessary, to offer the right support.
