ICS-UNIDO - Trieste, ICS-UNIDO - Trieste, ITALYITALY
ICS is headquartered at the AREA Science Park,
close to the city of Trieste. The AREA is
home to many organizations.
ICS works with the main institutions in Trieste and
has special collaborations with the
UN centres
ICS-UNIDO mandateICS-UNIDO mandate
The International Centre for Science and High Technology is an Institution within the legal
framework of UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization).
The Centre’s mandate relates to the transfer of know-how and technology in favour of developing and in transition
countries, and is justified by the perception that a competitive industrial technological capability cannot be
built-up without adequate scientific knowledge and commitment to a sustainable development approach, utilizing new and environment friendly technologies
