CarMaLim

The institute of research for ceramics – IRCER – relies mainly on the equipment and skills of a technical platform, CARMALIM. This platform is specially dedicated to the physico-chemical characterization of materials and is directly involved in its work.

It benefits from the know-how and experience of technicians and engineers, as well as the scientific support of researchers and lecturers. The performance of the equipment and the skills of the staff associated with this platform, which is unique in Europe, attract many external users, whether from technology transfer centers or industry. The platform brings together 15 engineers and technicians and 6 expert researchers around more than 60 pieces of equipment. It is organized into 6 divisions :
