We are Nansi and Ariana from INMA, and we are very happy to share the first webinar in the IMASUS series.
In this session, we introduce the IMASUS Material Database and present part of the work we have been developing over the last few months around innovative and sustainable textile materials. The webinar includes images of several samples we have been studying, together with microscopy images that help reveal the structure and character of each material in more detail.
This first webinar is an invitation to explore how material research, observation, and documentation can support a more informed approach to sustainable textile design. It also reflects one of the core aims of IMASUS: making new material knowledge more accessible to students, educators, and practitioners in the fashion and textile sectors.
We were also lucky to be joined by three excellent speakers, and we would like to thank them for sharing their knowledge and perspectives:

We hope you enjoy this webinar as much as we enjoyed recording it. We will soon share more information about Webinar #2, where we will present more exciting details about the IMASUS project.
