Electronic textiles, or e-textiles, are novel fabrics with integrated electronic functionalities to perform tasks such as sensing, computation, display and communication. Wearable health monitoring devices is a prominent application area but, given the ubiquitous nature of textiles, the list is growing with potential use in areas including aerospace and construction. With the support of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions programme, the RETEX project will support the development of sustainable electronic textiles using advanced materials with a focus on regenerated cotton. The project will prepare a new generation of researchers and innovators in sustainable electronic textiles through training, participation in international networks, cross-sectoral knowledge transfer and international mobility.
