ICIPE - International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology

Bildungs- und Forschungskooperation Forschungseinrichtungen und -infrastruktur

The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), stands as the enduring legacy of the late internationally reknowned Kenyan scientist, Prof. Thomas Risley Odhiambo. icipe was declared open for business in 1970, one of its objectives being the creation of motivated and highly talented ‘human capital’ in insect research and related areas of science, to enable Africa to sustain herself and to lead the entire pan-tropical world in this area of endeavour.

icipe's mission is to help alleviate poverty, ensure food security and improve the overall health status of peoples of the tropics, by developing and extending management tools and strategies for harmful and useful arthropods, while preserving the natural resource base through research and capacity building.

The Centre's vision is to pioneer global science in entomology, to improve the well being and resilience of people and the environment to the challenges of a changing world, through innovative and applied research, alongside deep exploratory study, impact assessment, evaluation and sustainable capacity building.

The ICIPE headquarters are based in Nairobi, Kenya.
