Istituto
Internazionale delle Comunicazioni
IIC - Istituto
Internazionale delle Comunicazioni , founded in Genoa in 1962 by local Institutions (City, University, National Council of
Research, Port Authority, Chamber of Commerce), financial Institutions and private
companies, is a no-profit association acknowledged by Italian Republic
President Decree.
The primary aim
of IIC is to develop research, study and
diffusion of the scientific culture in the broad field of communications -
both telecommunications and transports of passengers, goods and information
- and their reciprocal relations, promoting and supporting the progress of
communications by different means: studies, training, scientific support to its
members and cooperation with universities, organization of conferences and
events.
Logistics and
Transport Sector has a particular importance in the local territorial context,
being Genoa a crucial logistic node in the National and European framework,
mainly due to the simultaneous presence of the port and local important
industries, connected to Central Europe through Rhine Alpine Corridor,
characterized by a strong integration among the city and the industrial and
port areas within a very specific orographic configuration between sea and
hills.
For this reason,
and to the presence within IIC associated members of important actors of the
logistic chain, the Institute has been very active in the last decade in
Logistics & Transport sector, through the development of studies covering
economical, social and technical aspects, focused on the national and
international interactions and on the
local territorial impact.
Especially in
the last decade, IIC participated actively in many projects, most of them of
European relevance, often within important consortia comprehending relevant partners at institutional, academic
and industrial level, acquiring a strong specific experience in the context.
