IOPCT Facilities (return)

Located in the village of Godrano, and on the nearby Mastro-Grillo campus, IOPCT’s facilities encompass 219 acres of land and 58 buildings and laboratories. Paid staff members number approximately 650, with more than half of them involved directly in scientific research. The Institute’s higher education programs enroll approximately 130 students in graduate-level studies and approximately 35 in summer fellowships.

The largest independent, not-for-profit, primitive cycling research institution in the world, the IOPCT is a unique collection of individuals working in a number of disciplines toward one primary goal: world leadership in advancing and communicating a basic understanding of early man's interaction with the wheel.
