CONTEXT, the European network of experts on advanced textile materials, led by AEI Tèxtils, the Catalan technical textiles’ cluster, has publicly presented the state-of-the-art reports that have been prepared by the different working groups of the network.

These reports, in which the authors have been working on in the last year, focused on the different applications of advanced textile materials covered by CONTEXT:

-    healthcare and medicine -    automotive and aeronautics -    personal protection -    building and living -    sports and wearables

To present the reports, a webinar was held on 25th February. More that 80 people attended the event in which each working group leader presented a summary of the report.

The reports are available for free at the CONTEXT website.

AEI Tèxtils, as CONTEXT leader, organized the webinar and has collaborated in the editing of the five reports, with the aim of helping to disseminate new advances and trends in textile materials and promote new developments and working lines among the companies in the sector.

CONTEXT is organizing the next webinar, on 25th March, focused on presenting funding opportunities and success stories for the development of smart textiles.

CONTEXT is part of the COST program of the European Commission and aims to join efforts at European level to facilitate the market uptake of new advanced textile materials, reducing the gap between research and industry. The CONTEXT Management Committee, which was formally constituted on October 11th, is made up of representatives from 35 countries. The network is open to all professionals in the field of research, companies, clusters and end users, who can participate in the different activities that will be carried out during 4 years. CONTEXT is structured in 6 working groups, 5 of them focused on different applications of advanced textile materials: healthcare/medical, automotive and aeronautics, personal protection, building and living, sports and wearables. The sixth group focus is dissemination and communication.
