Public research organization / association

Since the opening of the Center for Fiber and Textile Science, the Center has been collaborating with the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture, a regional public institution. As a part of these activities, an exchange meeting is being held once a year. The exchange meeting has been attended by many textile-related companies as well as faculties from other disciplines within the university, and this has led to a lively exchange of ideas. There has also been interaction between the Society of Fiber Science and Technology Japan, the Textile Machinery Society of Japan, the Japan Research Association for Textile End Uses, the Japan Textile Professional Engineers Center, and others through lecture meetings being held.
