SESAME - An international centre for research and advanced technology (Jordan) under the auspices of UNESCO.
"It is UNESCO's hope that SESAME will prove to be as successful as the centre on which it is modelled, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. From the outset, UNESCO has been an active player in establishing SESAME. Now that the centre is an entity in its own right, it may always count upon UNESCO's counsel and partnership."
Koïchiro Matsuura,
Director-General of UNESCO
