In 2005-2015, the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Textile Research (CTR) focuses on textile history. This is being realised via substantial research programmes, as well as via the research training of young scholars, and a variety of activities connected with textile history involving universities, museums and design schools. The CTR organises seminars, conferences and courses in textile history on all academic levels.
CTR is located at the University of Copenhagen/SAXO Institute and at the National Museum of Denmark.
The overarching theme to be explored in the period between 2010 and 2015 is the connection between textile, environment and society in the 1st and 2nd millennium BC.
