The Student Research Poster Program has become a must-see show floor attraction at Techtextil North America. Featuring the latest scientific developments in technical textiles, nonwovens, and sewn products design and manufacturing, The Program attracts students from across the globe who are involved in both undergraduate and graduate-level research and textile innovation.
Participating students will have a platform to share their research findings with peers and potential employers/sponsors on the show floor, and could even be selected to present their research in front of a captive audience in the Innovation and Research Zone.
