WHAT WE DO
CIEDA is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting academia and entrepreneurs who develop research, solutions, services and products within human centred areas like inclusive design.
We offer our clients a range of creative change services which includes brand & marketing, business coaching, mentoring, public relations and can even assist with academic publishing tasks. We make money through providing training services to a range of organisations who want to learn more about how developments in human centred subjects can help them, their teams and their organisations.
As we grow more and more of our profits can be redirected into our non-profit mission. Which is to support academics and researchers who come from under-represented groups or communities i.e. helping to drive diversity in STEAM subjects or can’t afford to bring their work to the fore.
