In 1996 it was created in México the Teacher´s Improvement Program, PROMEP (so called by its acronym in Spanish), now it called PRODEP. This program was design to make higher the teachers´ academic level who was working as fulltime, by organizing them in working groups called Cuerpos Académicos (CAs), this it was done in order to improve their academic and scientific productivity. Educational institutions, specifically universities, implement the CA model and the Universidad de Guadalajara was not the exception. To create a CA it is necessary to take in account specific characteristics, from the areas of knowledge involved, the empathy of the members until the delimitation between personal and group work; but nevertheless, the experience does not end by delimiting the rules to ensure success in the conformation, growth and consolidation of them. This work described the action plan executed to design, shape and implement a multidisciplinary academic CA, under the environmental conditions of a state public university.
