The International Clay Technology Association was founded in 2006 as a result of a merger between the Institute of Clay Technology and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. The mission of ICTa is to promote heavy clay technology on a UK and international basis and to provide its members with opportunities to broaden their professional outlook, skills and qualifications. ICTa will achieve this by providing members with a range of technical meetings and events, education and fellowship. Through its links with IOM3, ICTa can offer professional qualifications accredited by both the Engineering Council and the Science Council for a range of professions from technician/operator to senior management level.
