It is from the Research Center that the academic programs for the
foundation are designed. Said programs make up the portfolio for
the Center for Academic Programs. The research center also promotes
interdisciplinary research and induces alternative contemporary
design processes. Said processes facilitate the development of the
different products and services associated with the brand: caribebydesignalter.
The Center of Academic Programs is organized under five departments
and presents the portfolio that offers a comprehensive variety of
knowledge fields. The constant pedagogical strategy is the permanent
search for alternative approximations to creative processes and
the simultaneous analysis of how technology and contemporary marketing
principles influence the disciplines of art, design, and space.
By fusing the disciplines instead of handling these as isolated
events encourages innovative ways to apply contemporary spaces for
learning and defines new opportunities in the applied professional
practice of the same disciplines. The possibilities of participating
in the offered academic programs are: on site, on line, mobile and
personalized studios.
The Center for Collaboration and Convergence promotes learning
collaborations about the pertinent disciplines through its center
of Academic Programs. It also offers, research initiatives from
its Research Center. The center also offers consultation services
and academic programs in art, design and space for academic institutions
with existing programs or with the desire to introduce new fields
of knowledge to their already designed curricula. By the same manner,
the center also has the capabilities of doing strategic convergences
with the industry, commerce and other foundations n order to instruct
and share information and resources through various initiatives,
where the participant receives a certificate, depending on the selected
program and the scope of work chosen.

This itinerant Initiative introduces academic possibilities that
do not try to substitute, but rather complement and enhance the
already existing vocations in the region. Fashion, jewlery, art,
pedagogy, cultural tourism and preliminary art and design studios
are combined with the introduction of new notions on technology
and contemporary marketing principles.

For us, the Caribbean region works as a threshold that serves us
as a space to learn and teach what we do not yet know and as source
where tangible and untangible elements that have the potential to
be incorporated into artistic processes, design methods and the
production of ideas about space.
This brand is introduced with the objective of applying the principles
and contemporary design methods explored and developed by the Research
Center. Said products are exhibited and commercialized so that the
foundation obtains resources for the functioning of its initiatives.
