Access to the platform

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The purpose of the this platform is to give you the necessary tools to introduce innovation in the advanced textiles manufacturing sector. For that, we have organized the open educational resources in a series of targets (higher education student, higher education staff and practitioner) in order to help you find contents adapted to your specific needs.
The contents are also organized according to the phase of the innovation process to which they mainly belong. These four stages (Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver) are based in the Design Council’s Double Diamond ones, that is a perfect framework for innovation that involves four core stages necessary for problem-solving.
You can take all the lessons that appear on this platform to have an overview, or you can choose your own path if you prefer to focus on more specific content.
