Dear Colleagues,

Upon requests from worldwide scholars, the submission deadline of the upcoming International Conference on Clothing and Textiles (ICCT) has been extended to February 15, 2024. Submission is available on the KSCT English homepage (https://www.ksct.or.kr/eng/).

The Korean Society of Clothing and textiles (KSCT) is pleased to invite you to the 2024 International Conference on Clothing and Textiles (ICCT) to be held on May 10 - 11, at the International Convention Center, Jeju, Republic of Korea. The ICCT, held successfully in 2018, 2020 and 2022, again calls for abstracts for oral and poster presentations, and graduate students’ research competition. The KSCT is the largest educational and scientific organization for the field of fashion and textiles in Korea, and its primary goal is to advance research and education for academicians and industry practitioners in this field. This year, a joint symposium will be held as a part of the conference, with Japan Research Association for Textile End-Uses.
As we face global climate crisis resulting from carbon footprint, we are seeking circular economy for healthy and resilient growth of fashion and textile industries. With the theme of the 2024 ICCT, Circular Economy: Fashion Forward to Resilient Future, the following critical research agenda will be discussed: Innovation in retailing, technology-driven design & manufacturing, eco-friendly materials, sustainable business models, digital fashion, emphasis on diversity and inclusivity, artificial intelligence, corporate responsibility, labor, human right, and automation, role of media and technologies, and paradigm shift in fashion/textile education.
