Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (Interaction-Ivrea) is an independent non-profit organisation, founded by Telecom Italia and Olivetti, and now part of the Progetto Italia initiative of Telecom Italia. Based in Milan, it offers a two-year Masters Programme in Interaction Design for participants from all over the world with prior college degrees in design, architecture, communications, computer science or psychology. Admission is based on a thorough selection process. Scholarships are available for those accepted.

Interaction-Ivrea acts - through its Masters Programme and the innovation projects that are carried out independently or in partnership with Italian and international businesses - as a cultural centre for extending and disseminating interaction - design knowledge and know-how. It aims to develop the culture of interaction design, which originally emerged in Silicon Valley, in a European context, building particularly on Italy's heritage and present strengths in design, innovation and lifestyle. In doing this, it will forge a distinctively Italian fusion of culture, technology, service models, and design for products and services.
