Welcome to the International Textiles and Colour Conference 2024 (ITCC 2024). This inaugural conference is part of a series of events marking the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Yorkshire College of Science in Leeds, which began formal education in textile industries and later became part of the University of Leeds. This international conference is hosted by the Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC), School of Design at the University of Leeds.
This international conference focuses on strategies, technologies and innovation to enable Sustainable Development of Textile and Colour industries across associated supply chains, covering important aspects of product design, fibre materials, yarn, fabric and garment manufacturing, robotics, digitalisation and machine learning, colour science and technology, waste management, including recycling, reuse and the creation of viable circular economies.
This is an important opportunity for researchers and industry leaders working in the global north and south, as well as policy-makers and NGOs to explore creative solutions to the challenges of sustainable development across textile and colour industries and to learn more about the most recent progress.
The conference is designed to encourage open discussion and international collaboration and will bring together business leaders and entrepreneurs from the UK and other countries, as well as leading academic researchers with expertise in environmental science, design, business and economics, science and technology.
