Founded in 1963 at the Instituto Di Tella, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, CLAEM (Centro Latinoamericano de Altos Estudios Musicales / Latin American Center for Advanced Musical Studies) was a meeting point for Latin American students, composers, and engineers. Directed in turn by Alberto Ginastera and Francisco Kröpfl, CLAEM remained operational until 1971.

Following CLAEM, CICMAT (Centro de Investigaziones en Communication Massiva, Artes y Technologia / Center for Studies in Mass Communication, Art and Technology) was established and remained operational through the 1970s. Centro Cultural Ciudad, later renamed Centro Cultural Recoleta, directed in turn by José Maranzano and Francisco Kröpfl, was founded in the early 1980s.
