TEXSTRA is a European project co-funded within the Erasmus+ programme aiming to contribute on the knowledge transfer from researchers and innovators to students and trainees in the textile and clothing sector with project-based e-learning tools.

AEI Tèxtils, the Catalan cluster of technical textiles, is one of the ten partners comprising the transnational consortium led by INCDTP. A total of 7 countries are represented in the TEXSTRA project: Spain, Romania, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Bulgaria and Lithuania. The members of the partnership include 4 universities, 2 research centres, 1 cluster, 1 SME and 2 non-governmental organizations.

The main goals of TEXSTRA are to promote research and innovation using e-learning tools for students and professionals, to promote the application of good practices for improvement and to generate knowledge, skills and competences using virtual environments. The project will develop a state of the art review, an online training program, a platform for virtual traineeship and competitions, a book of lectures for a summer training course and a project handbook of good practices. The TEXSTRA members will also organize several seminars and workshops across Europe to maximize the dissemination of the project results and to promote the values of the project.
