The WebTEXpert project (Research for a New Generation of Integrated Innovation and Knowledge Management - Development of Appropriate Web-based Training Methods, Tools, and Best Practice Demonstrators) is co-ordinated by the Textile Research Council (Forschungskuratorium Textil e.V.) Germany and started its operational work on 16 June 2004. WebTEXpert is co-financed under the EU Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development and is part of the Collective Research Scheme.

With a consortium composed of 46 partners from 8 European countries, the project will run for a duration of 3 years and aims at the development and provision of advanced methods in the field of innovation-management with a focus on new product development and introduction to increase the competitiveness of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME) operating in the textile and clothing industry. The participation of Industrial Associations and Groupings (IAGs) is considered to be a central element of the project securing the dissemination of results to SME at regional, national and international level.
