Join our Research Consortium

The Research Consortium at our Centre provides a focal point for research and development of process integration methodologies for member companies, and rapid technology transfer through software and training.

The research programme at CPI is heavily supported by the close and flexible relationship with the Consortium, ensuring the Centre's work is practically orientated and helps engineers to solve real problems.
