description In this paper, we report on a project implemented in July and August 2019, in Babeş-Bolyai University, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, entitled “Digital Cluj-Napoca: Enabling Learning and Research by Integrating the Most Recent Trends for Knowingand Using Urban Areas”. This project aimed at developing university students’ competences to explore and represent urban space and was developed within an internal fellowship. The main objective of the project was to create an open source digital product for didactic purposes, available online and meant to enable the ntegration of the theory of representations. This product is a website integrating an interactive map for Cluj-Napoca (https://a60194.wixsite.com/digitalcluj), focusing on the industrial sites within the city. The digital product targeted to enable users’ correct learning of the concept of representation, developing their critical thinking and competences necessary for territorial analyses. The research material of this paper is represented by the written feedback given by the members of the Digital Cluj Team. Their feedback concerned their research process. A general conclusion is that the project reached its aim as (at a first feedback) it is considered efficient from a research and didactic perspective.
