The Conference will be co-organized by the Department of Industrial Design and Manufacturing / Textiles of the University of West Attica (Greece) and the Textile Engineering Department of Engineering Faculty of Ege University (Turkey).
The AΙTAE Conference can become one of the most important scientific events in the field of textiles in the cross of Europe, Asia and Africa aimed to bring together leading researchers, experts, students and people from the industry from all over the world to share their knowledge and exchange scientific ideas.
