CARADT | Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology

CARADT is the Centre of Applied Research at Avans University of Applied Sciences that explores the potential of art, design and technology to contribute to just and regenerative futures. Through practice-based research, we empower artists and designers to address the social, ecological and cultural transitions of our time. Our approach is guided by creativity and critical imagination: as methods for questioning systems and developing alternative ways of thinking, making and living. CARADT works across disciplines and in close collaboration with other Centres of Applied Research at Avans University of Applied Sciences, as well as with external partners. Our research programme is developed in close collaboration with the educational departments of Avans University of Applied Sciences, ensuring a strong integration of research, education and societal engagement.
