Tekstilno-tehnološki fakultet (TTF) Sveučilišta u Zagrebu je uvidio važnost pravovremenog uključivanja svojih djelatnika u EU projekte i uspostavom Servisa tekstilnih europskih projekata (STEP-a) napravio značajan pomak sa stanovišta koordinacije ove aktivnosti. Glavni cilj STEP-a je pružanje podrške, prvenstveno djelatnicima TTF-a ali i suradnicima iz gospodarstva, prilikom prijave međunarodnih projekata, te edukacija potencijalnih voditelja EU projekata s nastojanjem uključivanja hrvatske tekstilne znanosti i privrede u EU tokove. U radu je prikazano djelovanje djelatnika TTF-a u Europskoj tehnološkoj platformi za budućnost tekstila i odjeće prvenstveno u okviru projektnih prijava. Udruženje EURATEX je nedavno uspostavilo novi sustav izmjene podataka vezanih za prijave FP7 projekata unutar tekstilnog područja – TEPPIES (Textile Project Proposal Information Exchange System). Najznačajniji zadatak STEP-a je inicijacija projektnih prijava koja je znatno porasla s uspostavom STEP-a, ali i sa učestvovanjem TTF-a u sustavu TEPPIES.Faculty of Textile Technology (TTF) University of Zagreb has realized the significance of early involvement of its employees into the EU projects and by establishing Service for Textile European Projects (STEP) has made a significant step towards coordination of this activity. Main objective of STEP is giving support to TTF’s employees, as well as to partners from industry, for preparation of international project proposals, education of EU project managers and inclusion of Croatian textile science and industry into the EU processes. This paper presents participation of TTF in the European Technology Platform for the future of textiles and clothes in the framework of projects. The European Apparel and Textile Organisation (EURATEX) has recently established new Textile Project Proposal Information Exchange System (TEPPIES). The most important task of STEP is initiation of project proposals which has increased after the establishment of STEP, so as with the participation in TEPPIES
