Over hundreds of thousands of years, Nature has developed products, materials, and processes to solve many problems we are confronted with. Humans have taken advantage of some of these models and systems for the purpose of solving their problems in a more sustainable way. Therefore, taking inspiration from nature, we can engineer artificial materials, which bring new solutions for industry, environment, medicine and many other fields. There are many bioinspired applications among which there are the gecko type, the japan’s shinkansen train and the WhalePower wind turbine.
The scientific and international N.I.C.E Conferences, which means “Nature Inspires, Chemistry Engineers”, are organized with the objective to share new developments in the growing field of bioinspired chemistry and materials and to understand the new challenges for the future.
