The primary goal of this conference is to create an international and interdisciplinary forum for scientists from various fields, including biology, chemistry, materials science and engineering, physics, and medicine. This forum aims to discuss the latest cutting-edge research and to identify future research directions in the field of bioinspired materials. Key topics include the formation of hierarchical structures and the properties of complex-shaped biological materials. Another main area of focus is the application of biological principles to develop adaptive and autonomous functional materials and systems composed of organic and/or inorganic components. In addition to synthesis and formation, the conference topics also cover research on the functional and mechanical properties of materials, the interaction of bioinspired materials with living environments such as tissues and organs, and medical-related applications. Contributions related to bioinspired actuation, artificial intelligence, and biohybrid systems are especially welcome.

The single-track format of this conference offers an excellent platform for networking and scientific exchange. In addition to plenary and invited lectures, the conference will feature oral and poster presentations.

The 8^th Bioinspired Materials conference will be held from 4 – 6 March 2026 in Siegburg/Bonn, Germany, with an option to participate online.

Share your experiences in bioinspired materials with fellow colleagues and enjoy the unique and beautiful atmosphere of our conference.

We look forward to seeing you in 2026!
