Abstract: | This article briefly outlines the history of IMTEC, from its origins within the OECD in Paris to its present independent state as a Norwegian non‐profit‐making foundation. Three aspects of its work are identified: Research and Development, Networking Activity, and Consultancy (Technical Assistance). Detailed information about each of these is given. The authors who write on their own behalf, conclude by anticipating a period of interesting expansion for the organisation. |
