What
is ACCIMT |
(History)
The Institute was established in 1984 under the name Arthur
C Clarke Center for Modern Technologies (ACCIMT) by an
Act of Parliament to accelerate the process of introduction
and development of modern technologies in the fields of
Communications, Computers, Energy, Space Technologies
and Robotics, through the provision of training and research
facilities. Basic infrastructure was established in 1986
and the technical activities commenced in early 1987.
With the introduction of the new Science and Technology
Act in 1998 the Centre was re-named as Arthur C Clarke
Institute for Modern Technologies (ACCIMT).
(Today)
As at today the Institute is actively involved in the
areas of Communications, Electronics, Microelectronics
and Information Technology where a team of electronic
engineers and other related professionals are working
towards self-reliance in the areas related to modern technologies.
Besides extensive R&D activities, Institute is heavily
involved in continuing professional development (CPD)
activities and youth training programmes in addition to
its consultancy services for the industry. Institute has
the infrastructure and human resources for development
of products, systems and techniques for industrial applications
in electronics, communications and IT (ECI) sectors, with
exports in mind.
