You are invited to participate in a series of research studies conducted by Dr Bruna Petreca and Ricardo O’Nascimento (directed by Professor Sharon Baurley, who may or may not be present) from the Royal College of Art, and Professor Carey Jewitt, Lili Golmohammadi, Professor Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze, Dr Temitayo Olugbade, Dr Youngjun Cho, Professor Aikaterini Fotopoulou, and Professor Marianna Obrist, University College London. We lead the UKRI-funded Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre (a partnership of universities led by the RCA, and including Cambridge, Cranfield, Leeds, Manchester, University College London, and York), and EPSRC-funded Consumer Experience Digital Tools for Dematerialisation for the Circular Economy projects. These projects aim to understand important factors in sustainable clothing and textiles consumption and facilitate the development of a circular textile economy.
