CEN TC250 in its meeting of the 20^th of November decided that the Science and Policy Report (SaP-Report) ‘Prospect for European guidance for the Structural Design of Tensile Membrane Structures’ will be published by JRC (Joint Research Centre).

This version will be made available to the European Standardisation Bodies for evaluation as ‘basis’ for the Technical Specifications. Comments can be given during 6 months. After this period of 6 months CEN TC250 will decide if - taking the comments into account - the elaboration of the Technical Specifications can start or not (decision expected by November 2016).

Textile Roofs 2017 is scientifically organised by Ms. Prof. Rosemarie Wagner (KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and is an event of AcaMem (Berlin Academy of Architectural Membrane Structures) operated by academus GmbH as promoter for educational events in the field of Membrane Architecture.

Workshops on the Design and Practical Realisation of Architectural Membrane Structures. The main objectives of this workshop are to provide fundamental information, as well as presenting the state-of-the-art in textile roof engineering. Above all, the workshop aims to provide practical answers to real-world questions. In addition to a comprehensive programme of lectures presented in English by key figures from the membrane structure industry and academia, opportunity for the study and hands-on development of practical case-studies in an informal tutorial environment will be provided.

Techtextil is the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens showing the full range of potential uses of modern textile technologies.

Making new contacts, connecting technologies and opening up tomorrow’s markets – under the motto ‘Connecting the Future’, Techtextil represents the ideal starting point for innovations, from 9 to 12 May, 2017.

annett.doerfel@tu-dresden.deThe Aachen-Dresden-Denkendorf International Textile Conference will be organized by the Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) of TU Dresden along with its Circle of Friends and Supporters. It will take place on Thursday 24 and Friday 25 November 2016 in Dresden, Germany. Since 2007 the textile research institutes of the regions of Aachen and Dresden have jointly organized the Aachen-Dresden International Textile Conference. Boasting over 700 participants most recently, this conference counts as one of the most important textile conference in Europe. Starting in 2016, the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research, Denkendorf (DITF) will also be a co-organizer. The third co-organizer is the DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials from Aachen. The Aachen-Dresden-Denkendorf International Textile Conference will take place on a yearly alternating basis at one of the three sites.

Various plenary sessions and special symposia are planned in the 2016 conference in Dresden. Those include: fiber-reinforced composite materials, protective and functional textiles, membranes, polymer materials, and functionalization of textile structures. Topics that will be covered are, among others: new materials, textile 2D and 3D constructions, textile machine modifications, textile production technologies, modeling and simulation, sensors and actuators, personal and property protection, testing, standardization, certification, recycling, modeling and simulation. Global megatrends, such as electromobility, industry 4.0, health, architecture, and environment will be covered in lectures and discussed by the audience. In addition, ADD-ITC and Forschungskuratorium Textil e. V. organize an industry transfer session where achievements within recent R&D-projects funded by the German goverment will be summarized.

In 2016 Switzerland and Austria are the official partner countries for the outline of the program, which comprises plenary lectures, invited keynote lectures and contributed talks. Furthermore, we expect more than 100 poster contributions. Three prizes for the best posters will be awarded.

On behalf of the textile research institutions of the Aachen, Dresden, and Denkendorf areas, we would like to invite all interested companies, research institutes, associations and students from around the world for a lively scientific exchange of experiences and information. Submitting of papers for oral and poster presentations is very welcome.
