The Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies of Art, Design and Advanced Technologies was founded as a part of the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art in 2020. Its establishment was a strategic step aimed at strengthening the faculty’s long-term professional profile and promoting its focus on interdisciplinary studies. The institute coordinates and manages long-term theoretical research programmes as well as programmes aimed at multidisciplinary activities involving engineering, media and other disciplines. Another significant task of the institute is to systematically support the commercialisation of the faculty’s projects and to monitor the globalized demand and economic and social trends.
