Empower the textile and clothing industries to transform into circular, bio-based and digitized industries. The Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) in Europe represent a vitally important group of institutes that educate people for key positions in the textile and clothing industries and perform applied scientific research. They represent a large part of the total textile research investments. Customers and partners in this respect are universities (fundamental knowledge), research centres (applied research and development) and the industry that benefits directly through bilateral dissemination or membership of focused research consortia and projects. These applied research institutes are also partners in the research programs. The aim is to empower the textile and fashion industries to transform into a circular, bio-based and digitized industry by valorizing knowledge and know-how and connecting design and technology to obtain the best possible result.
