European Researchers’ Night 2026

European Researchers’ Night 2026

On 25 and 26 September, INMA took part in European Researchers’ Night 2026 with “Materiales en acción”, an interactive activity where IMASUS presented its work on sustainable materials for the fashion sector.

Over the two days, hundreds of people visited our space in Plaza del Pilar to discover new sustainable materials in a practical and engaging way. Visitors could touch and examine a range of material samples, learn about their properties, and use a digital electronic magnifying glass to explore the details that are usually invisible to the naked eye.

It was a wonderful opportunity to bring sustainable materials closer to people of all ages and to discuss how material innovation can help make the fashion sector more sustainable.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, experimented with the materials, and shared the experience with us.
