About the call
The IMASUS project invites innovative textile companies, designers, researchers, and material pioneers to contribute to a mapping of sustainable and innovative materials. If you developed or are working on a material that challenges the current systems of textile and fashion production this open call is for you.
The goal is to understand, document, and support the materials shaping the future of sustainable fashion. Through this open call, IMASUS project aims to expand their accessible, science-backed and industry-ready material knowledge base that connects academia, innovators, makers, designers and the textile industry. Participants are invited to submit their contributions before February 28th, 2026.
Who can apply?
If you are working on a material that has the potential to support a more sustainable and circular textile ecosystem, we want to hear from you. The project welcomes contributions from:
- Designers & Creative Practitioners: Exploring material innovation at any stage, from idea to prototype to commercialization. Working with experimental textiles, circular design, biofabrication, craft research, hybrid materials, or artistic material development.
- Research Labs, Institutes & Universities: Involved in materials science, textile engineering, chemistry, biotechnology, or applied research in sustainability.
- Companies & Startups: Especially those developing biomaterials, recycled textiles, new fibres, bio-based composites, waste-to-material innovations, or novel sustainable processes.
Submit your materials before 28 February 2026.
Before submitting your material, please make sure to read the detailed open call information on IMASUS' official website.
