The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC; Khmer: វិទ្យាស្ថានបច្ចេកវិទ្យាកម្ពុជា; French: Institut de Technologie du Cambodge), known for short as Sala Techno (Khmer: សាលាតិចណូ; lit. 'Techno School'), is a higher education institution in Phnom Penh, Cambodia that trains students in science, technology and engineering. Enrollment is approximately 3,500 undergraduate students and 200 graduate students.

## History

[edit]

The Institute was founded in 1964 as Institut Technique Supérieur de l'Amitié Khméro–Soviétique (ITSAKS; The Superior Technical Institute of Khmer–Soviet Friendship, Khmer: វិទ្យាស្ថានបច្ចេកទេសជាន់ខ្ពស់មិត្តភាពខ្មែរ-សូវៀត). It was funded by the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1975 and from 1980 to 1991. This support ended in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[not verified in body]

In 1993, the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Government of France signed an agreement to develop the renovation of the institute which then took its present name, Institut de Technologie du Cambodge. From 1993 to 2004 the ITC was operated under the framework of French grant assistance (the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French embassy) and was run by Cambodia's French-language Agency of Higher Education (AUF).[not verified in body]

In 2017, its second campus was opened in Tboung Khmum Province.

This board has an annual meeting in mid-June. It is composed of members from stakeholders such as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, French Embassy, Japanese Embassy, the consulate of Belgium, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), a representative from the Board of Consortium, the Director of ITC, ITC alumni, and private-sector representatives.
