Stronger together:
collaborative work for your projects
We believe that collective intelligence is one of the keys to innovation and cutting-edge service. Therefore, the CTCPA technical center is involved in many technical and institutional networks, at regional, national and international levels: research organizations, higher education and research institutions, technical centers, professional organizations.
The public / private partnership
for the general interest
Through the participation of its collaborators in various technical commissions, the CTCPA is in close and permanent coordination with the decision-making and advisory bodies. This status gives it a high level of expertise, beneficial to its members and clients.
The CTCPA is a member of the CTI network which gathers all the Industrial Technical Centers. The CTCPA is also a member ofActia and qualified as an Agro-Industrial Technical Institute (ITAI) by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. These CTI are governed by the Code of Research (articles L.342-1 to L.342-13), and are recognized as public utility in charge of missions of general interest for the benefit of industrial sectors.
The networks and
mixed technological units
The mixed technology networks (RM T) are groups of experts in research, development and training on targeted themes with high environmental and socio-economic stakes, created and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food under the coordination of Actia for the agri-food sector. They are real tools of scientific and technical partnership, and promote synergy between different organizations by networking human and material resources.
The CTCPA is a member of 5 joint technology networks:
- RMT Actia Chlean (Hygienic design of lines and improvement of cleanability) as coordinator
- RMT Actia Al-chimie (Chemical contaminations of the food chain)
- RMT Actia Nutriprevius (Nutritional quality of food)
- RMT Actia Ecoval (Eco-design and valorisation)
- RMT Actia Ecofluides
- RMT Actia Qualima (Microbiological quality of food)
- RMT Actia Propack food (Sustainable packaging and food) as co-coordinator
- RMT Actia Prot&in (Vegetable proteins)
The CTCPA also leads the UMT (Unité Mixte Technologique) Qualiveg (Nutritional and microbiological quality of processed plant products).
