Interesting technology and big industry – now the labs at the Swedish School of Textiles have been kitted out with a new warp knitting machine. The university's textile labs are unique in their breadth and now their machine park is even more complete.

At this year's Copenhagen Fashion Week, 15 students from year 2 at the Bachelor's programme in Fashion Design at the Swedish School of Textiles are showcasing their creations as a tribute to craftsmanship and fashion.

Part two of the DigiSmartTech project has now been completed. During a workshop at the Swedish School of Textiles, several stakeholders – industry leaders, students, researchers, universities and vocational education institutions – met to take part in the results of a study in which students tested virtual lab work in textile technology.

The University of Borås is proud to present Ellen Hodakova Larsson and Mattias Reimer as recipients of the Alumnus of the Year award 2024.

Digital technology does not simply simulate what is physically real – it can create material “realities” that significantly deviate from what is physically possible, but are perceived as equally real under the right circumstances. This opens up entirely new possibilities in the design world.
