LIGHTCOMP 2020 aims to develop functional lightweight composites with properties including heating, lighting and even the ability to measure physical parameters using integrated sensors.

León Grau García, Vice President of AITEX since 2016, was appointed President of the Institute at an Extraordinary Assembly held on June 19. Rafael Pascual Bernabeu has held this position for the last four years.

The main objective is to identify the training needs of the textile sector and provide a joint academic response at European level to the needs of the clothing and fashion industries.

AITEX is drawing up a Sustainability and Circular Economy Guide specifically for the textile sector in which the most relevant aspects to be taken into account by companies will be dealt with in separate chapters.
