How To Support
The Caribbean island of Dominica is a developing nation with comparatively limited resources to devote to substantial complementary programs to support its higher education infrastructure. As such, our resources are limited and we are constantly engaging new ideas that will allow us to develop and sustain our programmes and activities, an investment in the high quality contribution to Caribbean tertiary education that is possible through our research institute. We welcome material and intellectual support from all parts of the world and encourage governmental, academic, NGO and corporate partners to find out more about our mission and activities with an eye to becoming a part of our Create Caribbean vision.
