The International Association of Societies of Design Research was formally established on November 1, 2005. The Association is an international, non-governmental, non-profit-making, charitable organisation, and is comprised of member societies of design research from around the world.

The purpose of the Association is to promote research or study into or about the activity of design in all its many fields of application, through encouraging collaboration on an international level between independent societies of design research. The Association promotes, amongst other activities, the organisation of a biennial International Congress of Design Research, at appropriate venues around the world.
