E-Team (European Textile Engineering Advanced Master) has started almost 20 years ago as the joint master of AUTEX. It has now obtained a global character and becomes WE-TEAM from the academic year 2021-2022 onwards. The programme is still unique in its concept. It offers students an exceptional level of mobility and high quality education:
- each of the 3 semesters are organised in a different location, the 4th semester students can carry out their master thesis at one of the AUTEX members, depending on their personal interest
- each course is taught full time during one week
- the lecturers are recruited from the pool of more than 200 qualified AUTEX professors.
Bringing together the best students, offering them the best AUTEX professors in each field and giving them a multiple international experience adds to their education and personal development.
