Four doctoral students are now working hard towards a common goal: to create and design textiles based on local bio-based raw materials. Their project is financed by Sparbanken Sjuhärad through its owner foundation.

What if your clothes could sense, respond, and even help you move? That’s the vision behind the doctoral project on “textile nerves” – conductive fibres designed for electronic and ionotronic textiles. Claude Huniade, who is behind an innovative project, has woven together chemistry, mechanics, and sustainability to rethink how textiles and electronics can merge.

What if your home wasn’t just a place to live, but a space to experiment with? That was one of the guiding ideas behind the artistic research project Holding Surplus House, carried out in collaboration between the Swedish School of Textiles, the Linnaeus University and Växjö Art Gallery and that now has been concluded.

The research area Library and Information Science has undergone an external evaluation and received very positive feedback. The research environment is described as holding leading position both nationally and internationally and it is characterised by strong collegiality with collaboration and respect for each other’s work.
