IMASUS Open Call: Identifying, Showcasing & Supporting the Next Generation of Sustainable Textile Materials

Lottozero is pleased to share an open call launched within the framework of the European project IMASUS – Identifying, Mapping and Analysing Sustainable and Innovative Materials, aimed at designers, universities, startups, companies, research centres, creative practitioners and material innovators working on sustainable textile solutions.

The open call is addressed to anyone developing biomaterials, recycled fibres, waste-based materials or innovative sustainable processes.

Participants are invited to submit their material through an online form to be included in the IMASUS database. The application also includes a section dedicated to the challenges currently faced in the development or production process. Contributors may optionally send a physical sample (minimum 10 × 10 cm) to be analysed and included in the IMASUS physical material library.

Selected participants will gain visibility through the IMASUS Open Material Directory and App, access to a European network of research centres, creative hubs and sustainable brands, and the opportunity to receive scientific micro-analysis of their materials through SEM imaging carried out by CSIC/INMA researchers.

The call is open until 28 February 2026. Early submissions will be prioritised for inclusion in the first platform releases and related activities.
