Research, development, creative activities
The task of Pallas is to create favorable conditions for applied research and creative and development (RDC) activities, as well as to organise exhibitions, seminars and other professional events to introduce their results. As an applied arts university, Pallas’ RDC focuses on the creative activities of academic staff and student.
RDC is led by Pallas RDC council, which includes the rector, heads of specialty departments, a teaching staff representative, the gallerist, the scientific adviser and the vice rector for academic affairs.
The central research topics are defined in the RD strategy at the level of specialty departments as follows:
history of Estonian documentary photography (Department of Photography);
interior decoration reconstructions and material heritage studies (Department of Conservation and Restoration);
recycling of textile materials and experimental development of weaving technologies (Department of Textile);
material-based and sustainable design (Department of Furniture);
digital technologies in media, painting and sculpture practices (Department of Media Design, Painting and Sculpture).
