Dr. Eitan Abraham, Professors Marc Desmulliez and Paul Conway from Heriot-Watt University and Loughborough University, organised a workshop devoted to Naturally-Inspired Manufacturing on 5 and 6 December 2014.
The workshop was mind boggling as I felt totally outside my comfort zone.
The very successful workshop, held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, gathered seventeen UK and international experts in biomimetics. From the words of one expert in bio materials: "The workshop was mind boggling as I felt totally outside my comfort zone".
A follow on industrial workshop is to be held at Loughborough University on the 18 February 2015. The aim is to create a Centre in Biomimetism that builds on the expectations from industry.
