InterEST

International Centre for Economic Development through Science and Technology

Kick-off meeting



InterEST Kick-off meeting


March 19th, 3.00PM → 7PM @ MINCyT


The creation of the International Centre for Economic Development through Science and Technology InterEST, based on South-South and Triangular cooperation, will be discussed in the framework of the United Nations BAPA+40 Conference. The intention of this Centre is to be based on the Argentinian Scientific Community and, starting from common goals with other participating countries, develop and find solutions to specific problems through Science, Technology and Innovation. Participating countries will be benefited in this win-win scheme, not only for the creation of a new tool to address an existing problem, but also because they will hold the privilege for the patents to be developed at InterEST.
