Research Center

ARUCAD Research Center founded in 2018, continues its activities in the fields of Art, Design and Mediterranean Culture in Cyprus and internationally. First of all, a Research Library has been established in order for researchers, students and those interested in the two communities of Cyprus to access scientific publications on art, design, and the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean. Many publications in different languages from the fields of archeology, anthropology, history, art, art history, and design allow the cultural heritage of the ancient Mediterranean and Cyprus to be researched. The foundation of the Research Library was founded by researcher Prof. Dr. Latife Summerer who has created special publication collection consisting of approximately 2000 books and journals and donated to ARUCAD in the 2018-2019 Academic Year.

The Research Center at ARUCAD plays a crucial role in creating a dynamic environment for interdisciplinary research across various fields, including but not limited to art, design, communication, music, and performing arts. In this sense, the Research Center continues its efforts to publish a new academic journal, namely “ARUCAD Journal”.

 The Research Center’s main objectives are multifaceted, as it aims to enrich the culture of interdisciplinary research activities, offers a collective team of Research Fellows from many parts of the world, inspiring innovative topics in a range of multidisciplinary research, and encourages cooperative studies at the intersection of diverse academic discipline. The Research Center promotes a collaborative research culture among the academic staff and postgraduate students, fostering an environment that values teamwork and joint academic research.

The center is dedicated to providing academic support and a platform for publishing research conducted by postgraduates, academic staff, and professional research fellows.

 In essence, ARUCAD Research Centre is creating an environment to bring professional researchers on both local and international levels together to collaborate and inspire creativity.
