SBDI's Board for the 2026–2028 term aims to foster and strengthen the field of Information Design in Brazil and internationally, increasing its visibility, its recognition and its academic, professional and social impact. It seeks to highlight and expand the ways Information Design can work with society, bringing the field closer to undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, managers and professionals from different sectors. It also aims to value Brazilian Information Design and to encourage the field's work in strategic and interdisciplinary spheres, including its contribution to public policy. To this end, it guides its actions by strategic planning, the production of evidence and sustainable, documented practices.
