We are a network of people in Quebec being inspired by nature and bringing life’s genius into our professional work.

We are consolidating a base where different organizations (companies, research institutions, universities, NGO’s, government agencies) can exchange knowledge, learn from each other, create synergies, leverage cooperative relationships, be inspired and stimulate a thriving, sustainable development of biomimicry.

University of Guelph PhD student Jamie Miller has created a website about biomimicry to increase interest within faculty and students.  Two workshops have been held, the most recent on March 31, 2012.

For additional information on Jamie's goals, see Biomimicry Learns From Nature's Designs in atGuelph.

A workshop held in Toronto on February 15th discussed various ways that technology can be used to help find grants and handle reporting on how the grant is spent.  The presentations largely explored Canadian grants although some of the process issues are generalizable.
