Project description:

The center includes, for example, laboratories for research into ceramic or metal materials, nanomaterials, as well as an office for technology transfer and an incubator for promising projects in the industrial field.

The Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava participated mainly in the fulfillment of the 2nd specific goal - Cooperation within the academic sector in the implementation of applied research and development. The project involved the Department of Architectural Creation, Department of Design, Department of Restoration, Department of Sculpture, object installation, Department of Textile Creation, Department of Applied Arts.

The VŠVU implemented joint projects in cooperation with some SAS institutes. For example, the Department of Textile Design of the VŠVU cooperated with the Institute of Polymers of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and jointly researched the possibilities of applying polymer materials to textile samples. The Department of Restoration of the VŠVU, in cooperation with the Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, uses computed tomography to examine specific parts of the object, based on which it is possible to see inside the examined object without disturbing it.
