The main objective of the network is to have a synergy effect through conjunct power. improve the services provided through co-operation and mutual support. It links significant number of European institutions which are providing technical information mainly in the fields of agriculture and nutrition, veterinary medicine, energy, water and sanitation, building, textiles and training. INTI supports organisations in the south to run local inquiry services by capacity building and by answering very specific questions
Generally, INTI is not restricted to European groups but is open to all information services whose technical focus is on so-called appropriate technologies.
All member organisations of INTI are linked with each other, without a central facilitation.
INTI members aspire:
to improve the exchange of information in the field of technical enquiries and to increase knowledge and skills, to save resources by the exchange of materials, to link development work, to increase the impact of the question and answer services.
