FIBRANET is the winner in the Category Research, of the 2021! 🎉🏆

This innovative project, investigating textile fibres used in Europe from prehistory to Imperial Rome, stood out for revealing information on fibres that had never been studied before and providing free access to the research data to international scholars.

The Awards Jury was impressed by this research project’s “clear and concise vision that yielded powerful and practical results”.

We are always reluctant to let our wonderful and supertalented Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellows go - luckily they often come back to the CTR-family, and so we are looking forward to seeing Christina Margariti at CTR in the future, too. In the meantime, she has finalised her project, Fibranet, which has collected a large number of fibres, and put them through different degradation processes. So if you need to define a degraded fibre, you will be able to find it at Netlearning.gr/fibranet !
