Home > International cooperation > Equipment Exchange Programme
Under the Programme, the OPCW Technical Secretariat supports the voluntary transfer of laboratory equipment, which must be in good working condition, from institutions in developed countries to institutions to other countries. The Secretariat will not be responsible for soliciting such equipment, but it will facilitate the transfer once an agreement is reached between the two parties (the one donating the equipment, and the one receiving it). Further, the Secretariat may also support the training of technicians to maintain such equipment. The criteria for such support are set out in Note S/307/2002 circulated by the Secretariat to all Member States. An application form for seeking assistance from the International Cooperation Branch is enclosed with the note.
If interested donors or recipients inform the Secretariat that they have available (in the offer form), or are in need of such equipment (in the request form), the International Cooperation Branch will arrange to provide relevant information from the database maintained by it or circulate such offers/requests to interested parties.
