Digital technologies are powerful drivers for the transition towards a green economy, including the shift to a circular economy and the decarbonization of energy, transport, construction, agriculture, and other industries and sectors. At the same time, it is essential to reduce the climate and environmental footprint of digital products and to facilitate the transition towards sustainable behaviors, both in the development and in the use of digital technologies. The education and training system increasingly relies on digital technologies, capitalizing on their benefits and opportunities. Digital transformation in education is supported by advances in connectivity, the widespread use of digital devices and applications, and the need to adapt to the continuously growing demand for digital skills.

The extension and remodeling project of the UNArte headquarters on 19 G-ral Constantin Budișteanu St., awarded to the ADN BA architectural office through a design competition, aims to modernize the infrastructure and adapt it to the current requirements of art education. The intervention integrates the existing heritage with contemporary elements, optimizing circulation, diversifying workspaces, and expanding areas dedicated to teaching and exhibition activities. Near completion, Phase A marks a significant step in transforming the campus into a modern and flexible creative environment, reinforcing UNArte’s commitment to artistic excellence.

Research activity focuses on the interdisciplinary and innovative exploration of artistic, cultural, and educational phenomena, promoting excellence and creativity in the visual arts. The una Journal reflects this commitment through the publication of relevant articles, studies, and projects, providing a platform for dialogue among artists, researchers, and specialists.

Projects funded through the Institutional Development Fund (FDI) aim to strengthen educational infrastructure, support innovation, and improve the quality of the academic process. These initiatives cover a wide range of activities, from modernizing facilities and developing study programs to supporting artistic research and academic mobility.
