CULTADISER 2024 focuses on “Strengthening UAUIM’s institutional capacity for research in architecture and urban planning by creating a culture of result dissemination.” The project addresses Domain 6: Development of institutional capacity for research in universities.
- Implementation Period: 9 months (April 1, 2024 – December 16, 2024)
- Context: The project aims to bridge the gap between “project culture” (design/architecture practice) and standard academic “publication culture” to meet national accreditation (CNATDCU/ARACIS) standards.
Main Objective
The primary goal is to develop UAUIM’s capacity to sustain research by strengthening the culture of dissemination and increasing the visibility of results. This involves coagulating research actions ranging from doctoral studies to faculty work and continuing the development of the university’s Research-Development-Innovation (RDI) infrastructure.
Key Objectives
- Visibility Optimization: Enhancing the national and international visibility of Romanian research through the UAUIM Research Networking Day (RND).
- Academic Exchange: Continuing the INNOMINCU online thematic conference to stimulate performance and experimental collaborations.
- Publication Support: Financing the publication and dissemination of representative doctoral theses, articles, and conference presentations selected via peer review.
- Doctoral Research Support: Expanding the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Research Laboratory (LCDI) as a collaborative environment to attract innovative projects.
- Educational Integration: Supporting research involved in the teaching process (Architecture Design Studio) and implementing Open Science practices.
- Digital Access: Creating an Integrated Digital Library with open and free access to the university’s scientific and heritage funds.
