#Colloquia / Symposia
AACHEN-DRESDEN-DENKENDORF ITC calls for papers
Aachen, Dresden and Denkendorf, together, lead the International Textile Conference into the Future
Since 2007 the textile research institutes of the regions of Aachen and Dresden have jointly organized the Aachen-Dresden International Textile Conference. Boasting over 700 participants most recently, this conference counts as one of the most important textile conference in Europe. Since 2016, the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research, Denkendorf (DITF) is also a co-organizer.
Thus, the Aachen-Dresden-Denkendorf International Textile Conference will take place on a yearly alternating basis at one of the three sites. Parallel to the International Textile Conference, the organizers respectively launch the German Textile Colloquium as a national pendant with changing special themes in the spring.
