Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox university Шаблон:Contains special characters The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC; Шаблон:Lang-km; Шаблон:Lang-fr), known for short as Sala Techno (Шаблон:Lang-km; Шаблон:Literal translation), 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

The Institute was founded in 1964 as Institut Technique Supérieur de l'Amitié Khméro–Soviétique (ITSAKS; The Superior Technical Institute of Khmer–Soviet Friendship, Шаблон:Lang-km). 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.Шаблон:Citation needed lead

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).Шаблон:Citation needed lead

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