Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art is dominated by applied research with a focus on interdisciplinary results especially of a non-publication nature. In terms of grants received and contracted collaboration with external entities from the public or non-profit sector, it is possible to identify its main areas of research, namely orientation towards innovation in medicine, materials research and production technologies, sustainability and biodiversity protection, digital media and interactive design, art-based research and art theory.

The nature of artistic research allows for free movement between disciplines and collaboration with many research areas.

Thanks to its multidisciplinary projects, the Faculty's disciplinary portfolio is broad and the results are applied mainly in Arts and Other Humanities, but also in other disciplines - in the natural sciences, engineering and social sciences.
