High technology center foundation

The Centro de Alta Tecnología Foundation (FunCeNAT) was created by Law of the Republic No. 7806, of May 25, 1998, to manage the resources and meet the institutional purposes of the Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnología (CENAT).

Article 3: “The State and its institutions are authorized to transfer resources to Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnología, of whose administration and management will be responsible the Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnología Foundation.

FunCeNAT is continuously overseen by the Comptroller General of the Republic, regarding the proper management and administration of the resources received under Law 7386. Likewise, it is also audited by CONARE and has an annual external audit.

Furthermore, the Foundation has an Administrative Board, which is made up of representatives of the State higher education University Institutions (IESUE, in Spanish)the Local Government (Municipality), and the Government of the Republic. The Board appoints an executive director in charge of FunCeNAT.

Es importante indicar que al momento de crear el CENAT, dentro del contexto legal, los rectores de las universidades integrantes del CONARE crear conjuntamente con el CENAT la Fundación Centro de Alta Tecnología (FUNCENAT).

Esta fundación atiende las especiales características del CENAT en los aspectos propios de su estructura, así como el régimen legal previsto. La Ley Nº 7806 del 25 de mayo de 1998 reconoció expresamente en FUNCENAT la entidad que mantendría el deber legal de administrar los recursos requeridos para la ejecución de los proyectos desarrollados por medio del CENAT.
