The congress offers the opportunity to meet with thought-leaders in comfort research to discuss comfort state of the art theory, test methods, models, theory and applications, across a range of industries and application areas such as automotive, aeronautical, future interiors, mobility and clothing. There will be opportunity to visit laboratories at W.L.Gore, a world leader in performance clothing design and comfort in the most challenging environments.
Our common goal is to share the latest knowledge and stimulate ideas within and across sectors and between industry and research. We sincerely hope that you will join us and share your expertise and insights and learn from fellow delegates. Your participation will help shape the future of comfort research. We look forward to welcoming you.
