E-Textiles Network Database of Skills and Expertise
Our latest project is to develop a database of skills and expertise in e-textiles for E-Textiles Network members. This database would then be searchable to help identify potential collaborators for specific projects.
The E-Textiles Network is free to join and members will receive a monthly newsletter as well as information on upcoming events.
