To all friends of the Umeå Institute of Design.

Welcome to the new generation!!

Amazingly enough, 20 years have passed since the first pioneer group of Swedish students and staff put together what has now grown to be the world renowned Umeå Institute of Design with students and staff from 29 different countries.

20 years, a whole generation Рsomething to celebrate Рand even more, a good excuse to gather, all of us Рhere in Ume̴ to rekindle old friendships, network and share stories from the past.

20 years, and now the new generation is lining up to take over. Professors Mike Stott and Pete Avondoglio are leaving or have left. Bengt Palmgren will leave the school at summer 2010. They have been replaced by new, young people, so in addition to the many new student faces, a new staff is growing rapidly.

20 years – thus friends, we welcome you to the first UmeÃ¥ anniversary-get-together to be held here, on December 3-4, 2009. We are putting together a relaxed and entertaining program, a few short speeches, some prizes, presentation of our new rector, publication of the book about UID’s first 20 years – but mostly good networking and fun, and of course a chance to meet the new staff and students as well.

We will start lunchtime on Thursday with looking back of the history of UID, getting reports from former students, party in the evening and continue with looking forward into UID´s future on Friday until 14.00. The full program will be published on the web after 16th of November.

Please register here before November 16th

So in the spirit of the new generation, we hope to see you all soon.
