This project supported A/Prof. Xin Wang to attend the 3rd International Conference of Fashion and Sustainability (ICFS 2025) and deliver an invited talk entitled “Materials Innovation towards Fashion Sustainability”. The planned travel offered an opportunity for A/Prof. Wang to exchange his research results and outcomes within a broad international community in the context of fashion and sustainability, and A/Prof. Wang updated his knowledge and skills from a broader international community by attending the conference presentations and events. This travel also consolidated A/Prof. Wang's research network, especially the cotton-related research collaboration with the School of Textile Science and Engineering at Wuhan Textile University (WTU).
