Our sectors of activity

ALPS covers 3 main sectors of activity.

All of equal importance, they bring out the multifaceted aims of the foundation.

Merged all together, they show interdependence and reciprocal support in a systemic fashion.

 

 Professional

The professional sector represents the drive of ALPS. It is our primary goal of ensuring a sustainable and open future in this new academic domain.

Therefore, we engage in:

  • Professional partnerships

  • Research

  • Fundraising

  • Local project support

  • Consulting for professionals, academics and institutions

  • Individual and collective student support

  • Thesis support

 

 Community

The community sector represents the social participation of ALPS. Our main goal here is to connect individuals and groups together. For this we have created two annual events:

  • ALPS Conference

    • a three-day academic conference

    • every last weekend of October in a different city in Switzerland

  • ALPS Forum

    • a one-day student conference

    • every first Saturday in May in Bern

 

 Media

The media sector refers to the online presence in open-access media as well as online promotion, journals and events advertisement.

All the content created by ALPS will always be freely available on the internet for everyone, wether or not you donated something : the cost of Knowledge Creation should not be at the charge of the particular individual which is himself part of the distributed cognition process called “Humanity”.
