ENSAIT is a textile engineering school, located in the North of France. It trains engineers with a strong expertise in technical textile and management distribution. The school host promotions of 130 engineer students, of whom 45 are studying in apprenticeship. ENSAIT is international oriented, with one semester abroad and 45 PhD students linked to international universities. ENSAIT engineers are trained in the latest textile technologies and innovations to meet the needs of industry.
GEMTEX is a research laboratory attached to ENSAIT. It is dedicated to research on textile advanced materials (material and process engineering). Its research activities are organized around three research groups. They are focused on the following activities: Human Centred Design, Mecanics Textile Composites, and Multifunctional Textiles and Processes. Plus a cross-cutting research axis in the field of sustainable development. The textile technologies and industrial equipments (carding, interlock weaving, braiding, etc.) available at ENSAIT enable prototypes to be produced and characterised. The fields of application are personal protective equipment, ballistic impact protection, transportation, energy, medical, wellness …
MATISSE
The MATISSE project proposes to create a new bioprosthesis for tissue restoration following curative surgical procedures, through the autologous collection of fat cells reimplanted on a synthetic and resorbable lace type textile structure.
SAFIRS
SAFIRS offers a disruptive technological chain for the production of on-board electronic sensors on textiles permeable to air flows, to analyse the air quality and energy efficiency of a dedicated treatment plant to its renewal in confined spaces.
TEX & CARE
Tex & Care, the Chair in Circular Fashion supported by 25 researchers from the IAE Lille and ENSAIT, aims to support ecological, economic and social transitions to sustainable consumption and production in the fashion, textile and clothing sector.
