2nd Governing Board Meeting

Important decisions taken about the future of the Textile Flagships initiative – ETP General Assembly fixed for 31 March 2014

On 26th November the ETP’s Governing Board came together for its 2nd meeting in Brussels. The Board members assessed and welcomed the positive progress since the operational start of the new ETP in the summer of 2013. The 7 Textile Flagship action plans were principally approved and after a final review round will be finalized at the end of 2013. The Flagships will then move into the implementation phase in parallel to the start of HORIZON 2020. It was concluded that a stronger direct involvement of companies must still be promoted. The ETP General Assembly will take place in the late afternoon of 31 March 2014 in the margins of the 2014 ETP annual public conference in Brussels.
