Lectures and seminars Time is running out: can we create a sustainable textile and fashion system?

The seminar is organised by STSA Fashion, a research network for sustainable fashion, funded by Stockholm Trio´s initiative for sustainable development – Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions (STSA). Since 2022, STSA Fashion has gathered researchers from Karolinska Institutet, KTH and Stockholm University to develop interdisciplinary research for a sustainable textile and fashion system. 

The event is held in English and is primarily aimed at people in academia, business and government agencies who want to contribute to a more sustainable textile and fashion system. Network with leading experts, learn about the latest research and be inspired by speakers in environmentally sustainable textiles and sustainable fashion.
