The 5 departments cover all the links in the production chain.
Department meetings allow us to monitor the technologies pertinent to film and audio-visual professions: all these technologies are discussed, assessed, tested and appraised within the CST.
The departments add strength to the CST’s proposed actions, in particular via reference publications and recommendations.
