About CTR

In 2005-2010, the Centre for Textile Research (CTR) focuses on textile history. This is being realised via a substantial research programme, as well as via the research training of young scholars, and a variety of activities connected with textile history involving universities, museums and design schools. The CTR organises seminars, conferences and courses in textile history on all academic levels.

The designated leader is Marie-Louise Nosch. The project managers are archaeologists Ulla Mannering, Margarita Gleba and Eva Andersson.

The scientific mission of the CTR is to promote, expand and consolidate textile research in the academic world. The CTR aims to:

1. Establish a visible and explicit research profile with national and international references, setting new standards for future textile research.
   
   
2. Explore and consolidate international textile knowledge.
   
   
3. Achieve new results by conducting scientific programmes in new research fields, and by inspiring young scientists to include the area of textiles in their research.
