BioInspired! So What? Now What!

The International Conference of Bionic Engineering (ICBE) is organised by the International Society of Bionic Engineering (ISBE) and held every three years. It aims to provide an international forum for scientists and engineers around the world who are working in the field of bionic engineering, and also for dissemination of information and knowledge exchange in biomimetics and bionic engineering. A broad range of topics and application areas will be devised to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this conference.

Since its inception in 2006, ICBE has attracted increasingly higher quality and numbers of attendees and papers. Average attendance each year is more than 300 participants. The proceedings series have become a major intellectual resource for bionic engineering researchers and serve to both define and advance the state of the art of the field

The 5th International Conference of Bionic Engineering will be held in Ningbo at theUniversity of Nottingham Ningbo (UNNC) campus, 21 – 24, June 2016. Authors will have options to present their research work either in an extended abstract or a peer-reviewed paper. The conference proceedings will contain both peer-reviewed extended abstracts and papers, and will be distributed in a digital form. Based on conference committee’s recommendations, authors will also have the option to submit their peer-reviewed conference papers to the following refereed journals: Journal of Bionic Engineering, Chinese Science Bulletin, Scientific Reports (Nature publishing group), etc.
