Encouragement of Design Students
ETMK realizes many events targeting industrial design students and educational institutions acknowledging the fact that forming the future of the profession and bringing industrial designers under the same roof begins prior to graduation. Student projects are especially invited to participate in exhibitions and competitions; panels, seminars and workshops are organized.
Since 2000, ETMK has been giving ETMK Appraisal Awards to top ranking graduates of industrial design departments. The award includes covering of the ETMK membership entrance fee together with the first year’s membership fee for those graduates who register to become a member.
