Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders in biomimetics to submit papers for the upcoming Biomimetics Conference 2025. This interdisciplinary conference will explore the frontiers of bioinspired technologies and systems, bringing together expertise from diverse fields to examine how nature’s principles can inform and revolutionize modern science, engineering, and design.
The conference will feature the following main sessions and welcomes submissions on these and related topics:
S1. Bioinspired Electronics
Examples include nature-inspired electronic materials and components; flexible, stretchable, and wearable electronics; self-healing circuits and biohybrid devices; and energy-efficient electronic designs modeled after biological systems.
S2. Bioinspired Computing—Algorithms and Prototypes
Examples include computational algorithms derived from biological processes, including neural, evolutionary, or swarm algorithms; prototype computing devices inspired by biological structures; neuromorphic computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning using biomimetic approaches; and bioinspired data processing and memory storage techniques.
S3. Bioinspired Materials—Structures, Surfaces, and Interfaces
Examples include the development of materials inspired by biological structures (e.g., lotus effect surfaces, spider silk-inspired fibres); interfaces and coatings mimicking biological surfaces; structural materials inspired by nature’s resilience and efficiency; and applications in medical, aerospace, and environmental sciences.
S4. Bioinspired Architecture and the Built Environment
Examples include sustainable building designs and materials influenced by biological systems; adaptive and responsive architectural systems; structural optimization based on natural forms; and biomimetic urban planning and green infrastructure.
S5. Bioinspired Robotics
Examples include robotics inspired by animal and plant biomechanics; autonomous and self-repairing robots; soft robotics, biomimetic actuators, and sensors; and swarm robotics and cooperative robotic systems.
S6. Bioinspired Arts
Examples include bioinspired music; art installations and visual arts inspired by biomimicry; bioinspired design in fashion, textiles, and product design; cross-disciplinary collaborations between art, science, and technology; and interactive and multimedia art influenced by natural systems.
We encourage submissions of original research, case studies, design prototypes, and conceptual frameworks that address any of the topics listed above. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field, with selected papers being presented during the conference sessions and considered for publication in the conference proceedings.
Join us at the Biomimetics Conference 2025 to exchange insights, showcase innovations, and explore the future of bioinspired technology. Let nature inspire your next breakthrough!
