mi-Introduction

Missions of general interest

Through its level of expertise, Actilait has positioned itself in the field of general interest missions, activities that are officially recognized by the public authorities.

Thus, our experts participate in public and professional, national, European or international entreaties, networks, commissions and work groups that need Actilait's expertise on a collective basis on scientific subjects, innovation, technology transfer, regulatory or normative, notably in relation to food safety and food industry processes.

Research

Actilait participates in numerous collective research programs of general interest defined by, and for the benefit of, all the partners in the dairy industry.

Their achievement is made possible thanks to public financing (European Union, Ministry of Agriculture, Office, Actia, Regional…), interprofessionals (Cniel, Anicap…), and companies.

The research projects are most often carried out in partnership (INRA, CNRS, Universities, Colleges, Technical institutes, research centres…); the results are the subject of numerous scientific articles and presentations at congresses.Read more...
