The CIAE-UNAPEC is characterized not only by the peculiar combination of fields under study, but also by the public activities of its groups.

 

There are no traditional educational programs, or experimental facilities, and the research is financed by donations and aid, since it does not charge tuition to its assistants. The investigation is never done by contract or external direction; each researcher is left to choose his goals.
