The main objective of the RETEX MSCA SE project is to establish a world-class interdisciplinary network focused on a joint research program in the field of new sustainable electronic textile materials. This will be achieved by replacing conventional textile materials with sustainable, environmentally friendly, and advanced materials, such as recycled fiber-based cotton fabric.
To accomplish this goal, the project brings together world-class experts in various fields, including materials scientists, polymer specialists, environmental experts, chemists, software engineers, and designers, who will apply the latest innovations and technologies from their respective disciplines. Participants will exchange skills and knowledge to create sustainable textile materials and strengthen research collaboration across different countries and sectors.
RETEX also aims to develop and enhance new market access opportunities for the businesses involved in the project. The project’s goal is to train the next generation of researchers and innovators in sustainable textiles by providing interdisciplinary training modules.
Through the project, participants will acquire new skills, build international networks, and gain insights into industrial processes and techniques, thereby expanding and enriching their career opportunities through cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange and international mobility.
