The University of Borås is proud to present Ellen Hodakova Larsson and Mattias Reimer as recipients of the Alumnus of the Year award 2024.

Digital technology does not simply simulate what is physically real – it can create material “realities” that significantly deviate from what is physically possible, but are perceived as equally real under the right circumstances. This opens up entirely new possibilities in the design world.

The UN organisation International Trade Centre (ITC) has planned a visit, accompanied by 35 delegates from six countries, to Borås and Sweden. The purpose of the visit is to gain inspiration and learn from the Swedish ecosystem for the textile and fashion industry, as well as to create opportunities for new collaborations, both in research and the business sector. The delegation is coming here because we are pioneers in sustainable and circular textiles.

A delegation from various universities in Ukraine is currently visiting the Swedish School of Textiles. The visit is part of the collaborative project TEX4YUA, which aims to identify joint projects in education and research. The aim is to empower young Ukrainians with knowledge, skills, and innovative thinking in the field of sustainable and functional textiles.

Several researchers from the university are included in a prestigious international ranking of the world’s most cited researchers. The list was created by researchers at Stanford University and was published in August.
