FibreNet is an innovative EU-funded H2020-MSCA-ITN project that trains PhDs. It is a coalition of 7 European universities and 8 industrial organizations operating in the field of fibres. The common goal is finding comprehensive solutions to improve and tailor the properties of fibre products. This would enable new environmentally friendly products and products with totally new functionalities. The focus is on bio-based fibres, either natural or man-made in origin. Method development covers functionalization, characterization, modelling&simulation, fabrication and life cycle assessment of fibres and fibre-based products.
In the FibreNet seminar, all the 15 FibreNet projects showcase their research and results.
15 topical presentations from our PhD fellows:
