The Textile Institute World Conference will be held in Poland from April 25 to 28, 2016. It will cover topics on trends, trade, innovation and design as well as the resourceful benefits of incorporating natural fibers into textiles.

The aim of the conference is to establish international interdisciplinary cooperation in various fields of science, research and economy that are linked by textile technology. Textile materials and techniques are applied in medical products such as wound dressing, hygienic goods, but also in state-of-the-art precise prosthetics made of biomaterials, with products being successfully implanted into human organisms.

Advanced technology has enabled expansion of the application potential of fibers and textile products. The use of new synthesis methods of fiber-producing polymers, use of biotechnology, fiber and textile modification methods, of nanotechnology, textronic technologies has allowed for the use of fibers and textiles in virtually all aspects of human life and in areas such as road, air and marine transport construction materials, architecture, building, energy production, agriculture and horticulture, land, road and bank reinforcements, filter production, paper and packaging production.

The Textile Institute is based in England. It deals in textiles, clothing and footwear. It has members in 80 countries. The aim of the institute is to facilitate learning, to recognise achievement, to reward excellence and to disseminate information.
