The main objective of CONTEXT is to bundle different initiatives at European level in order to facilitate the market uptake of new advanced textile materials and to reduce the gap between research and industry. This goal can only be achieved by involving all key players in the process, i.e. universities, technology centers, industry and end users.
CONTEXT is divided into 6 working groups, 5 of which focus on different applications of advanced textile materials:

  • Healthcare/medicine
  • Automotive and aerospace industries,
  • Personal Protective Equipment PPE
  • Construction and housing,
  • Sports and Wearables.
  • The sixth group focuses on distribution and
    Communication
