BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Denis Noble CBE FRS, Professor Clemens Kaminski and Professor Richard Templer

Event details

Biological structures and processes have benefited from billions of years of refinement during the process of the evolution of life on earth. So why should we not benefit from what nature discovered in designing our own new technologies? This meeting brings together scientists from a range of disciplines to discuss how nature has inspired their work and how this can contribute to the technological evolution.

A draft meeting programme is available to download. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the event and the papers will be published prior to the meeting in an issue of Interface Focus. A link will be uploaded when these are available.
