As a result of the importance ASCER places on the professional working environment, which it endeavours to educate about ceramic tiles and their applications, the Association has since 2004 set up a series of Ceramic Tile studies departments at different Schools of Architecture in Spain and abroad.

ASCER's Network of Ceramic Tile Studies Departments
|
The Network of Ceramic Tile Studies Departments embodies the rapprochement and collaboration between Universities and the ceramic tile manufacturing sector and creates a community that delivers value all round, to the advantage of one of the basic tenets of ASCER’s thinking: innovation.
The Network of Ceramic Tile Studies Departments currently consists of the schools of Architecture in:
o Barcelona - Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura (ESARQ – Advanced School of Architecture) at the International University of Catalonia.
o Alicante - Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura (Advanced Technical School of Architecture) at the University of Alicante.
o Valencia - Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura (Advanced Technical School of Architecture) at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
o Castellón - Escuela de Arquitectura Técnica (School for Architectural Technician) at the Jaume I University in Castellón.
As well as teaching their own students, the Ceramic Tile Studies Departments also educate and promote to a broader audience through lectures, visits, exhibitions and publishing material that fosters understanding of ceramic and the diversification of how it used in the field of architecture.
Tough not included in the Ceramic Tile Studies Departments, ASCER’s collaboration with the University of Harvard (GSD) in the U.S. (since 2007) merits special mention. In Harvard, research projects have been undertaken that will analyse the industry in terms of customization and digitalisation. Prestigious professor Martin Bechthold guide, in this case, students in the development of prototypes resulting from this research.
The development of the activities of the Network of Ceramics Chairs is possible thanks to the support of the Conslleria de Hacienda, Economía y Administración Pública of the Generalitat Valenciana within the framework of a collaboration agreement with ASCER.
