DESCRIPTION:As one of the promising approaches in generating a
 dvanced materials\, Biomimetics offers to material
 s scientists and engineers a sustainable path to l
 earn from nature in the development of high perfor
 mance next generation materials.  This workshop in
 tends to cover both the fundamental exploration of
  materials inspired by biological systems in natur
 e\, and their fabrication and applications in toda
 y technology. \n\nThe objective of the Nature Insp
 ired Manufacturing Workshop is the application of 
 Biomimetic principles to create products offering 
 novelty\, competitive market value\, and manufactu
 ring using conventional and new sustainable method
 s. Strong emphasis is put on the science and engin
 eering for the creation of wealth for the benefits
  of industry and society. We want to generate econ
 omic impact in society through a multidisciplinary
  approach\, engaging all science from engineering 
 to humanities\, but also strongly involve industri
 al partners.\n\nThe two day workshop includes talk
 s of scientists\, engineers as well as company rep
 resentatives who will describe their experience in
  utilising nature for man-made processes and produ
 cts. The workshop will conclude with a panel discu
 ssion on the challenges in translating biological 
 processes into engineering principles.\n\nOrganisi
