What if a flat piece of fabric could suddenly bloom into a sculptural form? At the Swedish School of Textiles, Kathryn Walters has turned this idea into reality, developing woven textiles that transform themselves—shifting, twisting, and expanding into three-dimensional shapes.

A new research project at the Swedish School of Textiles and the University of Gothenburg, funded by the Swedish Research Council, will investigate how generative design tools affect fashion's expression, norms, and role in society. Through artistic examples and theoretical discussions, the researchers want to reshape the view of fashion as an artistic practice – and contribute to the future education and research.

Tall oil rosin – a by-product from the pulp industry – may become a key player in the transition to sustainable plastics. A new research project at RISE and the University of Borås is now targeting this potential.

A research project within Resource Recovery at the University of Borås explored how valuable substances can be extracted from organic waste – such as animal manure – and how this loop can be closed by producing animal feed.
