MIND sessions
ASIFF organises several MIND sessions a year. The ASIFF MIND sessions focus on one specific aspect of sustainability.
These MIND sessions are attended by professionals working in the the fashion and textile industries and the related educational and government organisations. They discuss the sustainability issues faced regularly by those working in the industry to generate deeper knowledge about them. ASIFF uses consultancy firms, experts and academic researchers to collect research questions and promote the exchange of information.
These meetings can reveal in which areas knowledge is lacking. After the resultant research questions have been defined and researched, ASIFF provides the research findings to its netwerk of entrepreneurs.
The MIND sessions help in
- sharing exisiting knowledge and expertise
- generating applied research questions
- sharing current research findings
- providing a platform for more fundamental research
- continuing deveopment of ASIFF (pilot projects, test labs, etc.)
- desiging curriculum for universtities and universtities of applied sciences
