Leapfrog CA (Coordination of multidisciplinary knowledge and Research
Activities to support Leadership for European Apparel
Production From Research along Original
Guidelines) is a Coordination Action project, funded by the EU in the
context of the 6th Framework Programme as part of the joint action of the NMP
(Nanotechnologies, Materials and Production) and IST (Information Society
Technology) Programmes.
Leapfrog CA aims at the establishment of a "knowledge community" on intelligent
apparel manufacturing technologies
This objective will be achieved through effective coordination of 70 on-going research
projects and networking of 37 key consortium representatives from 14 countries with
the overall goal to satisfy the urgent need for an optimised holistic production and
design chain and in the end to reach rapid global manufacturing through the concept of
the Extended Smart Textile/Garment Organisation. This networking activity will secure
added value by providing the necessary multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial forum to
share common problems and solution-oriented approaches, to channel efforts efficiently,
to exchange and complement experience, to incorporate technology, to disseminate results
to recommend best practice or best solution methodologies to the sector needs and to
develop an integrated Roadmap for future research.
The project started in June 2004 and has a duration of 30 months.
