  1. ICS-UNIDO - Trieste, ITALY 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

  2. ICS-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

  3. Technological Areas of ICS • Pure and Applied Chemistry • Earth, Environmental and Marine Sciences • High Technology and New Materials • Technology Management

  4. ICS’ Strategic tools in the Area of Pure and Applied Chemistry • EGMs, training courses and workshops • Creation of information packages and publication activities • Fellowships and on job training schemes • Networking and participation of ICS in international projects and initiatives • Evaluation, development and promotion of projects

  5. Area of Pure and Applied ChemistrySubprogrammes • Catalysis & Sustainable Chemistry • Environmentally Degradable Plastics (EDP) • Combinatorial Chemistry & Technologies • Remediation

  6. Focus • Catalysis & Sustainable Chemistry • Ways of transforming polluting obsolete chemical technologies into cleaner alternatives using catalysis (applicable in fine chemicals production). • Environmentally Degradable Plastics (EDP) • Plastic waste disposal and relevant pollution problems. Development of alternative approaches like recycling, reuse as well as environmentally degradable plastics.

  7. Focus • Combinatorial Chemistry & Technology • Enhancement of productivity and efficiency of pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry. • New approach for the discovery and development of innovative chemical compounds, fine chemicals and new materials through computer aided chemistry. • Remediation • Environmental pollution assessment methodologies. • Evaluation and promotion of new technologies for the decontamination of polluted sites. Analysis of technical applicability and economic viability.

  8. Training Courses and Workshops Objectives / Contents • To train on fundamental concepts of remediation, • To evaluate technical applicability and economic viability of remediation technologies, • To introduce modern remediation technologies, • To show practical applications of remediation technologies through site demonstration, • To train in the resolution of concrete problems through problem-solving sessions, • To promote the exchange of experiences through open discussions among participants and gather specific information through their direct interaction with lecturers, • To discuss and develop possible common initiatives.
