International Joint Mastern in Innovative Leather Technology
Overview
The Joint Master Degree in Innovative Leather Technology has been designed to tackle the latest technologies in leather production according to the needs of the international market.
The Joint Master is based on the Green Deal policies to tackle with the implementation at the operational environment of new innovative sustainable technologies for leather manufacture, removing the hazardous chemicals still used by in the tanning industry by substituting them with new and innovative chemicals.
This master is a transnational study programme at the Master level (EQF-7) leds by Universitat de Lleida; enhancing the academic cooperation between 2 more HEIs, ITECH (France) and EGE (Turkey) jointly with a Research and Academic Institution CIATEC (Mexico) and COTANCE, the Confederation of National Associations of Tanners and Dressers of the European Community (Belgium), the leather industry’s governance body at international level.
Leather Engineering and Manufacturing agglutinate a wide range of subjects directly related to the transformation of rawhide/skin into leather, waste that is generated (reusable collagen-keratin fractions, special waste, wastewater), chemical industry (new trends in substituting hazardous chemicals with newly designed chemicals), polymer science, circular economy, nanoparticles, and fashion in end-manufacturing companies. This is the reason why this innovative Joint Master degree will be focused on publicizing the alternatives of jobs inside and outside the leather and design value chain.
