Context Overview

CONTEXT brings together European researchers, manufacturers and main relevant stakeholders in order to develop joint ideas and initiatives which can be turned into advanced smart textile products

SMART TEXTILE: functional textile material, which interacts actively with its environment, i.e. it responds or adapts to changes in the environment

Context aims to

Promote the development of a joint research roadmap for smart textiles

Foster the transfer of knowledge among different actors in order to find suitable applications in various multidisciplinary fields

Act as stakeholder platform to identify needs and requirements from different points of view in a bottom-up approach

Promote networking activities in order to attract talent, build more and better research projects with more consciousness on the objectives of creating exploitable results.

CONTEXT is funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), which provides funding for the creation of research networks, called COST Actions. These networks offer an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond) and thereby give impetus to research advancements and innovation.
