The <em>Outstanding Opportunities Fund - Colleges COVID-19<\/em>worth nearly $50,000, will enable the CTA to support the air transport industry in developing methods for applying antimicrobial coatings and disinfecting parts used in aircraft cabins.<\/p>\n<p>Following the November 6 announcement by the Minist\u00e8re de l'Innovation, des Sciences et du D\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique, nearly $28 million has been awarded through the CFI to cover urgent equipment needs in support of research activities related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\"CTA is both grateful and proud to be among the organizations selected. We also take very seriously the role we have to play in the fight against the current pandemic, and more specifically in the civil aviation sector,\" says CTA General Manager Francis Archambault. Initially, these grants will be used to develop methods for applying antimicrobial surface treatments to aircraft interior components. Next, a study will be carried out to analyze the impact of ultraviolet (UV) treatments on material sterilization.\"<\/p>\n<p>In addition to working closely with companies in the air transport sector, the effectiveness of these treatments will be evaluated in conjunction with other research centers in other sectors, such as the food industry.<\/p>\n<p>The funding obtained will be used to purchase 3D printers, infrastructure and a UV source to enhance the industrial research capabilities of CTA's partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>About the Aerospace Technology Center (CTA)<\/h3>\n<p>The CTA is a college technology transfer center affiliated with C\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit and located on the campus of the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique. Specializing in aerospace technology applications, the CTA supports the efforts of companies in the sector to increase their knowledge, productivity and competitiveness, as well as the quality of their products and services. With over seventy experts in metal fabrication and robotics, composite materials, non-destructive inspection, avionics and flight operations, the Center is recognized for its complementarity with the various players in aeronautical research and technology transfer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE : <\/strong><br>catherine.saucier@cegepmontpetit.ca<br>450 679-2631 p. 2238 | cell. 514 297-2855<br>cegepmontpetit.ca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le c\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit et son Centre technologique en a\u00e9rospatiale (CTA) sont fiers de faire partie des 52 organisations canadiennes qui recevront un financement d\u2019infrastructure de la Fondation canadienne pour l\u2019innovation\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"service":[],"class_list":["post-730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-communiques-de-presse"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":731,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730\/revisions\/731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730"},{"taxonomy":"service","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerocta.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service?post=730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
