MetaSkills4TCLF project
The METASKILLS4TCLF project aims to address all the objectives of the Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills (“E+ Blueprint”), intersecting the pillars of the EU PACT4SKILLS TCLF Charter, launched in December 2021. It is committed to consolidate and update part of the former “Blueprint Skills4Smart TCLF Industries 2030” project results, adding new skills necessary to help companies in the digital and green transition, while adopting disruptive learning methodologies that contribute to attract young generations.
This European project brings together over 25 partners from 11 different countries and has a budget of 4 million euros. The participation of ITECH Lyon in this project enhances the school’s visibility in its areas of expertise at the European level: textiles, leather, clothing, and footwear. Moreover, it facilitates the development of new courses on these topics, using innovative teaching methods such as virtual reality.

UTOP Textile Project (KA2)
The UTOP Textile project (KA2) was an innovation project involving 3 higher education institutions:
- HEFF, design school, in Belgium (project leader)
- ESNE, design school, in Spain
- ITECH Lyon, textile engineering school, in France
It was a 3-year project that brought together, twice a year, 5 students from each institution with support from CREACTION. The aim was to initiate the conception of innovative products based on technologies that may be derived from aerospace technologies. Students worked together twice a year in workshops in each of the partner countries.
- 1st year (2019-2020): 5 projects in the creation phase proposed by the students (4 were selected)
- 2nd year (2020-2021): 5 projects in the development phase, meeting a set of specifications
- 3rd year (2021-2022): 3 to 5 projects in the prototyping phase
Selected projects:
- The drinkable Jacket or Tent
- Air filter Mask
- Textile responding to sound stimuli
- Tree from desire 2.0 (a biodegradable Tree tutor)
- A biomimetical material
