Biomimicry:  Transforming Materials

Biocene is a conference where ideas and research on innovation inspired by nature (biomimicry) are shared, connections are made, and opportunities for collaborations are fostered. It creates conditions for biomimicry thought leadership to ignite further advancement of the field.

Biocene 2023’s theme is Biomimicry: Transforming Materials – looking at how materials have been inspired by nature and looking to the future of what can still be discovered. This will be explored at many scales – from nano structures to future buildings on Mars.
