                  the faculty of Social Science eco-tex Institute is conducting 
                  a seminar in the current semester 03/04 about sustainability 
                  in the apparel and textile industry in developing countries. 
                  Eco-tex experts will focus on the relationship between trade 
                  and manufactures which have to face their interdependence in 
                  developing sustainable strategies. This indicates a rethinking 
                  on both sides if all stakeholders want and have to fulfill international 
                  requirements, which should satisfy customer’s need, minimize 
                  environmental load and protect worker’s labor conditions 
                  especially in developing countries. Starting with a theoretical discussion, eco-tex will present 
                  its pragmatic sustainable management concepts, which should 
                  assist manufactures in improving their performance in social, 
                  environmental and quality issues. At the same time students 
                  should realize a survey in order to analyze and evaluate customer’s 
                  awareness with regard to their purchasing patterns on garment.
 Besides this seminar aims to open student’s view to identify 
                  alternative vocational fields in the private sector.
