Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a world-leading provider of specialty fibers

Scientist Award for outstanding research in the field of fibers and
textiles again in 2023. Bachelor’s and master’s degree students will have

fashion and circularity, textile recycling and the innovative use of
biobased fibers to a jury of well-known industry experts.
The jury consists of Karla Magruder (Founder of Acceleration Circularity),
Friedericke von Wedel-Parlow (Beneficial Design Institute Berlin) and
Dieter Eichinger (Head of Standardization and Innovation,
Secretary-General of BISFA). All winning projects will be duly awarded a
cash prize of EUR 5,000 at the 62nd Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress (GFC),
which is organized by the Austrian Fibers Institute and will take place
from September 13 to 15, 2023. The Institute focuses on issues relating to
the future such as fiber innovations, sustainability and circularity,
which will also be on the agenda at the GFC. The aim of the Young
Scientist Award is to promote the students’ work and create a platform for
networking with the textile and fiber industry.
“As one of the leading innovators in sustainably produced fibers and
wovens for decades, Lenzing is best positioned to make a real difference
and create a better future for the generations to come. Driving research

ideas at all times is not just a matter that is close to our heart. We are

success in tackling the pressing environmental challenges we face”, says
