LINCOS is an initiative of the Costa Rica Foundation for Sustainable Development (CRFSD).

CRFSD began operations in 1998, under the direction of former President of Costa Rica, José María Figueres Olsen (1994 – 1998), with the purpose of promoting sustainable development oriented programs and projects in developing countries. Our president actively participates in international forums, generating awareness and a change of attitude towards the problem of the environment in our planet. He also proposes the mechanisms to be used by the nations in order to achieve growth and economic development in harmony with nature.

CRFSD is based in Ochomogo, Cartago, 20 km from San José, capital of Costa Rica. Located at the foot of La Carpintera Mountains, it is a wild area protected by the Ministry of Energy and the Environment of the Costa Rican Government.

The mission of our organization is to propose solutions to the problems faced by the developing countries, to improve the quality of life of their citizens by means of technological applications. Environmental protection, strategic investment in human development and the macroeconomic aspects of the countries are also important parts of our project.
