Key functionalities

Partnership opportunities

The ‘Partnership Opportunities’ section enables members to showcase their collaboration needs and identify suitable partners for future initiatives. Organisations, projects, and individuals can participate by publishing requests for partners, outlining their expertise and collaboration ideas, and specifying whether they wish to connect and collaborate with them.

This functionality is intended to facilitate the creation of consortia, support participation in EU-funded programmes, encourage knowledge exchange, and promote the development of new partnerships across regions and sectors. By increasing the visibility of organisations' strategic priorities and partnership requirements, the ‘Networking hub’ helps community members connect with relevant stakeholders and explore potential avenues for cooperation.

Announcements

The ‘Announcements’ section features a curated selection of information relevant to the community, managed and regularly updated by platform administrators.

The section features content highlighting opportunities for engagement and collaboration, helping stakeholders stay informed about developments that may support their activities and strategic objectives. This may include funding opportunities, open calls, project updates, events, networking activities, and other initiatives relevant to the European textiles ecosystem.

We encourage all registered members to explore the ‘Networking hub’ and make active use of its features to expand their networks, identify collaboration opportunities, and contribute to a stronger and more connected European textiles ecosystem.
