Centre for Research in Textile Science and Technology of Monastir (CRSTTM), Tunisia CRSTTM is a public research centre under the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Tunisia, dedicated to applied research and innovation in the textile sector. Located in Monastir, Tunisia’s main textile industrial hub, the Centre bridges academic research and industrial application through sustainable technologies and advanced material development. Scientific activities are coordinated by the LVITEX Laboratory (Laboratory of Valorisation, Innovation and Textile Technologies). Its research focuses on: (i) sustainable biosourcing and circular textile systems (mechanical and chemical recycling, bio-based fibres, natural dyes, life-cycle assessment), (ii) advanced textile functionalisation (plasma, ozone, nano-deposition, eco-finishing), and (iii) technical and smart textiles (medical, agricultural and sensor-integrated textiles). CRSTTM offers experimental platforms for material characterisation, recycling, eco-finishing, prototyping and digital traceability. Through MSCA Staff Exchanges, the Centre seeks strategic partners for knowledge transfer, joint research, staff mobility and co-development of innovative and sustainable textile solutions.
I 'm actively involved in national and international research networks and aims to strengthen Euro-Mediterranean cooperation through Horizon Europe and MSCA initiatives, promoting knowledge exchange, staff mobility and sustainable textile innovation.
