About this event
- Event lasts 7 hours 30 minutes
UAL’s Fashion, Textiles and Technology Institute (UAL FTTI) invites colleagues from across the University to explore insights from UAL’s Creative R&D Partnership, the Business of Fashion, Textiles, and Technology (UAL BFTT).
Led by UAL (2018-24), BFTT was one of nine UK clusters in receipt of approx.£6m funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
This event will share cross-industry sector R&D, innovation insights, and impact arising from across the partnership.
