In the end, both participants and organizers concluded that they had been part of an especially interesting meeting, as can be quoted from the many messaged sent after the event ended:

"The cooperation between the Department of Textiles, Faculty of Mechanical Maribor, Slovenia and Faculty of Textiles and Leather Iasi, Romania, started already in 1995, when we, together with some other European institutions, prepared the first joint project on quality aspects in weaving. The second project, a network related to optimisation of the weaving process, followed in 1997. My collaboration with esteemed Prof. Mihai Ciocoiu originates from these projects; afterwards we established good cooperation concerning the Romanian Textile and Leather Journal.

Also this was the reason that I wanted to participate actively at the International Symposium PERTEX 2005. I had to overcome some transportation problems to come to Iasi, but finally I did not regret. The scientific/professional part of the conference was correctly and professionally carried out. I was also lucky to have very kind hosts who invited me to join some social events and even to show me some attractions of the city. I must say, Iasi has many important and beautiful historical buildings and places. I took home with me a lot of new information on textile engineering and nice memories on kind people and the city."
