Strong and structured partnerships

The Centre develops partnerships at the local, national and international levels.

• Scientific partnerships
  

Over time, the Centre has developed solid partnerships with the main local research institutions such as Universities, CEMAGREF, ENGREF, INSERM, ENITAC... These collaborations have become a reality via research contracts led collectively by INRA, or by the implementation of mixed research units grouping together researchers around a common set of themes.

• Partnerships with higher education
  

With lectures given to students in many degree courses by researchers of the Centre, we are strongly involved in higher education (Universities, ENITA, ENGREF...). Researchers are also involved in the setting up of training programmes (Masters...). INRA also accepts numerous students for both short and long training periods.

• Industrial partnerships
  

INRA Clermont-Ferrand - Theix collaborates with industrial partners of diverse size and specialization, ranging from agricultural mechanics to the farm-product industry (Nestlé, Danone, Lactalis).

• Partnerships with territorial authorities
  

The Centre benefits from subsidies from local authorities (regional, departments, municipalities) , the State ( FNADT) and the European Commission (FEDER, FSE) for the cofinancing of scholarships or theses, the acquisition of equipment or the setting up of new technological platforms.
