TEXCOMP10 Overall Program

TEXCOMP, OCTOBER 25-29 2010

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPOSITE TEXTILES IN LILLE


The Lille Metropolitan Area will be hosting the 10th International Conference on Textile Composites, TEXCOMP, at Lille Grand Palais, from October 25 to 29, 2010.
Following its 2008 edition in Delaware (North America), it was time for the Conference, also after rotating with Asia, to come to Europe. The Higher Textiles Engineering Schools ENSAIT of Roubaix and Ecole des Mines of Douai, supported by the UP-tex Competition Cluster dedicated to technical textiles, did their utmost to bring this world scale Conference, initiated by the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) in 1992, to the Lille Metropolitan Area. This testifies to the Nord-Pas de Calais Region's research potential in the realm of textile composites, and more globally, technical textiles.
