Technical Advisory Panels (TAPS)

We pride ourselves on the relevance of our work to our members´ needs.This relevance is maintained through close interactions with members through the Scientific and Technical Committee (STC), its twelve Technical Advisory Panels and the Working Parties that support these. The system involves around 1200 industrialists, with STC and each panel meeting three times each year.

STC oversees Campden BRI´s scientific and technical activities at a strategic level, whilst the panels and working parties focus on particular disciplines and activities. Collectively they select and direct the research at Campden BRI and help shape many of the services we provide.

Selecting research
In addition to helping to develop research ideas and proposals, the panels and other members are involved in selecting which proposals are funded from member subscriptions through a system of voting. As well as ensuring relevance, the system has been structured by STC to maintain a balance of research across six strategic themes identified in our strategy document Needs of the agri-food industry:

• Raw materials and ingredients
• Manufacturing and supply
• Product quality and innovation
• Food and the consumer
• Food and drink safety
• Knowledge management
