It was wonderful to see the teams from all three sub-networks from UK Research and Innovation Circular Fashion and Textile Network Plus at our Annual Research Meeting in Exeter yesterday.  This was the first time that the sub-networks had come together in person to discuss the networks’ collective progress (Future Fibres Network+, IMPACT+ and Back to Baselines in Circular Fashion and Textiles). It was inspiring to see ideas and progress shared on the following five themed areas: environmental impact, standards and baselines, interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge and behaviours and stakeholder communication from a variety of panellists from academia and industry. The sub-networks shared updates on progress with numerous new mini projects from newly-formed partnerships. 👏 Thank you for those who attended and for your invaluable inputs throughout the day. With researchers and businesses collaborating so effectively, we look forward to keeping you updated on further progress over the next year! #circularfashion #SustainableFashion #FutureFibresNetworkPlus Network Plus in Circular Fashion and Textiles - Programme Co-ordination Team (PCT), Kay Heuser NERC: Natural Environment Research Council University of Exeter Exeter Innovation University of the Arts London The University of Huddersfield University of Leeds UKFT Association
