The Universidad del Museo Social Argentino (UMSA) represents the International Society of Substance Use Professionals (ISSUP) through the establishment of the ISSUP Argentina National Chapter and since 2024 it has joined the ITTC (International Technology Transfer Center) Network.

In line with the approach proposed in documents such as the United Nations resolution UNGASS 2016 or the Hemispheric Action Plan on Drugs (2021-2025) of the Inter-American Commission for the Control of Drug Abuse (CICAD) of the Organization of American States (OAS), the Universidad del Museo Social Argentino (UMSA) has incorporated, especially in the undergraduate courses of the School of Human Sciences, specific content that has promoted the increase in the development of undergraduate theses on the subject.

Through an agreement with the "Forum Vitae" Institute of the Obra Social Ferroviaria, numerous training days and seminars have been developed. On this basis, cooperation agreements have been signed with governmental and non-governmental organizations, with the objective of articulating actions, opening spaces for training and technology transfer on drug demand reduction.

The ITTC aims to:

  1. Strengthen drug demand reduction for the treatment, prevention and recovery of substance use disorders.
  2. Promote alliances between professionals, researchers, policy makers, funders and the culturally diverse recovery community.
    • Support and develop information and epidemiology systems to enrich the evidence that supports actions and programs.
