The University of Boras - Swedish School of Textiles, Politecnico di Milano – Dipartimento di Design and University of the Arts - London College of Fashion have started a strategic partnership for higher education within the novel field of Fashion-Tech.
​
The project is called “Education4Fashion-Tech: Interdisciplinary Curriculum for Fashion in the Digital Era”, it started on September 1st 2017 and ended on August 31st 2020. The project is financed by the European Union through the Erasmus+ action KA203 - Strategic Partnerships for higher education.
The aim of EDU4Fashion-Tech is to bridge the fashion field with that of innovative technologies by creating a new training pathway to improve the level of key competencies and skills of students and trainers and to break down barriers between technologists and creative communities and build meaningful collaboration. The objectives of the project will be achieved through the delivery of: intellectual outputs; learning, teaching or training activities; and multiplier events.
