The aim of the research and artistic creativity of the “Art” study field is to develop research based on creative practices, which would use digital innovation and transformation, and which would be aimed at social inclusion, the development of creative industries and the promotion of change in education, as well as the development of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR and xR) and artificial intelligence (AI) prototypes.
Within the framework of the study field “Arts”, the University organises scientific research and artistic creativity works, and attracts scientific and other projects in accordance with
the accredited study field. Practice-based research has become relevant in the last ten years, as more and more practitioners
of creative industries want to study in the Doctoral programmes, as well as use scientific approaches and methods in the creation of their art and/or other AV/D cultural objects, thus creating new types of knowledge.
Within the framework of the field, the joint scientific journal “ADAM Arts” of the Faculty of Architecture and Design is published, scientific conferences are held, publications for internationally recognised magazines and leading professionally orientated media are developed.
