Textile ETP

The Euro­pean Tech­nol­o­gy Plat­form for the Future of Tex­tiles and Cloth­ing (Tex­tile ETP) is the largest European open expert network of pro­fes­sion­als involved in tex­tile and cloth­ing-relat­ed research and inno­va­tion.

Its services and activities include strategy and policy development for European textile research, information provision about EU textile research funding opportunities, brokerage of partnerships for EU research funding applications, dissemination of results of EU-funded textile research projects, organisation of conferences and seminars on textile innovation trends and new technology developments and networking among its members and other organisations interested in textile research and innovation in Europe.
