Memberships in international associations and institutions

The Faculty of Textile Technology achieves its strategic goals by strengthening its scientific position to the highest level of research, innovation, competitiveness and excellence, through networking, connecting, exchange and comprehensive cooperation with countries that are members of international scientific research institutions.

Membership in these international associations and institutions facilitates teaching and research cooperation in all segments of the textile profession and science for a number of our employees, as well as dissemination of the latest research results at numerous joint textile congresses, with the unavoidable collusion of future collaborations, and the transfer of knowledge and technology to the economic sector.

Membership in international associations and institutions provides a direct link between all members, which significantly facilitates the achievement of the objectives by participating in the project proposals of the European Horizon 2020 research program.

FTT is involved in the following international associations and institutions:
