Technical skill, creativity and stirring pieces that tickle the senses — that’s how Vogue Scandinavia summarises the Swedish School of Textiles’ fashion show during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

“I’ve always been drawn to the tactile and human side of technology, and textiles are a perfect example of that. They’re close to the body, part of daily life, but also technically fascinating”, said Li Guo, Associate Professor of Textile Technology at the Swedish School of Textiles. On 27 August, she will give a lecture on her research related to healthcare.

AUTEX has elected Professor Vincent Nierstrasz as its President for the next three years: “I believe this role will enhance the international visibility of education and research at the university,” he says.

Junchun Yu, Associate Professor of Textile Technology, wants to contribute with solutions. On 27 August, he will give a public lecture about his research on this.
