  * Lenzing honours excellent research work by young scientists at the 63rd
    Global Fiber Congress in Dornbirn

Lenzing - The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulose
fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, is presenting the Lenzing
Young Scientist Award at the Dornbin Global Fiber Congress (GFC) from 11 to
13 September 2024 for bachelor and master students who are working on
innovative solutions to ecological challenges in the fiber and textile
industry. The application deadline is 30 June 2024 and the winning project
will receive prize money of EUR 5,000.

For the third time, the Lenzing Group is honouring young researchers with
the Lenzing Young Scientist Award for excellent research work in the field
of fibers and textiles. The Dornbirn-GFC, as a platform for the
international exchange of experience in the field of fibers, offers an ideal
stage for the research competition. Bachelor's and master's degree students
can submit their scientific work in the categories "Fashion and Circular
Economy", "Alternative Raw Materials" and "Textile Recycling" as well as in
the field of "New Fiber Technologies" and face a jury of renowned experts
from the industry. The aim is to promote students who inspire the industry
with their research results and to create a platform for networking with the
textile and fiber industry.

"Lenzing has been an innovation leader in sustainably produced cellulose
fibers for decades and is therefore at the forefront of change. Our mission
is to shape a legacy for future generations. By encouraging young
scientists, we support ground-breaking ideas and new thinking to solve the
problems of today. Because we know that every small step forward, every new
invention, is a step towards a greener tomorrow," says Gert Kroner, Vice
President Global Research at the Lenzing Group.

Austrian Fibers Institute as organizer of the Dornbirn GFC

For the 63rd time, the Austrian Fiber Institute is organizing the Dornbirn
Fiber Congress on a non-profit basis and will provide the setting for the
presentation of the Young Scientist Award from 11 to 13 September 2024. The
Austrian Fiber Institute, based in Vienna, was founded in 1960 by fiber
producers and the Austrian textile industry to promote the market launch of
fibers and their products. The Fiber Institute also offers the opportunity
to exchange information and experience about fibers and supports contact
with educational institutions. The GFC focuses on an international exchange
of experience in close coordination with the umbrella organisation CIRFS,
Brussels, and deals with topics relevant to the future, including fiber
innovations, sustainability and the circular economy.

their work (theses, papers, etc.) in English from May 01, 2024 to June 30,
2024 to the following e-mail address: YSA2024@lenzing.com. Further
