European BIOMIMS network in creation
We are involved in the creation of an European network of scientists : BIOMIMS, a biomimicry network for a sustainable solar-based carbon-fixing economy. Scientists from all over Europe have already expressed interest in joining the network which is aiming at exchanges and reflexions in 3 themes : agro-ecology, “soft chemistry” and “green building” materials, and carbon sequestration, with a fourth theme on the interdisciplinary integration of the 3 others.
The network that is being born will be expanding in the new months, as it is open to new expressions of interest from scientists untill december 2009. We already have scientists from 12 european countries and disciplines ranging from agro-forestry to algal fuel and from philosophy to bacterial communications, together with biomineralisation and biomimicry for space research!
Scientists with research activities related to the four themes and interested in reflecting on and contributing to research towards a sustainable solar-based carbon-fixing economy are invited to check out the details of the project, and to write to :
