Technical Centre for Mechanical Industries

Cetim Carnot Institute includes Cetim (Technological Institute of Mechanics) and LRCCP (French Rubber and Plastics Research and Testing Laboratory). R&D function is carried out either within specific sectors or cutting across sector boundaries, and within either a national or an international context. It embraces a range of complementary aspects, including prospective studies in conjunction with international scientific communities: R&D concerning all areas of mechanical engineering, industry-specific studies and projects, and the large-scale federative technological projects.
