<DIV align=justify>The „Technical Textiles-Present and Future” International Symposium is a scientific event that has become traditional in the field of textiles, since 2009, being organized by the Department of Engineering and Design of Textile Products within the Faculty of Industrial Design and Business Management from Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi, Romania. <A href="https://sciendo.com/book/9788367405355">International Symposium "Technical Textiles - Present and Future". Edition 2023</A> Over the years and from one edition to another, the symposium brought together leading researchers, textile experts from the industry, teachers from academia and vocational education, PhD students, and relevant stakeholders from the national and international scientific area to share their knowledge and the good practices regarding technical textiles. Reaching the seventh edition now, the TTPF symposium has become a scientific forum in the field of technical textiles, supporting the cross-disciplinary research fields, providing the participants a real opportunity for ideas exchanging, to present the latest achievements, and to discuss perspectives. With the focus on the latest scientific advances in technical textiles but also on the companies’ needs for innovative solutions, a new topic concerning environmental and sustainability issues for the technical textiles field was introduced for TTPF 2021, a topic which we hope will stir the interest of all participants. The 7th edition of the International Symposium "Technical Textiles - Present and Future" TTPF 2021 was organised online on 12 November 2021. For the 7th TTPF International Symposium the topics are: Technical Textiles for Agrotech, Buildtech, and Geotech Applications; Technical Textiles for Clothtech and Hometech Applications; Technical Textiles for Indutech and Mobiltech Applications; Functional and Smart Textiles for Medtech, Protech, and Sportech Applications; Technical Textiles for Oekotech and Packtech Applications; Technical Textiles and Sustainability; Textile Education and Training for the Technical Textiles Field; Management and Entrepreneurship.
