DESIGNAE aims to cultivate an interdisciplinary, nature-centered design paradigm for a regenerative future. It addresses global challenges through sustainable biodesign solutions, integrating knowledge from biology, material science, engineering, chemistry, with design and law. The Action is organized into six Work Groups focusing on biodesign observation, materials and technologies, computational approaches, practical application of nature-centered biodesign, and advancing ethical and regulatory discussions in this emergent field.
Project funding:
EU COST Programme
Project results:
During the project, it is planned to prepare repository of biodesign projects and solutions, with shared terminology, portfolio of materials and fabrications techniques for biodesign, report on computational technologies and applications for biodesign, portfolio of biodesign prototype(s), mock-up(s), concept(s) or solution(s), white paper biodesign integration roadmap, guidelines and recommendations on biodesign ethics and regulations, and other tools and recommendations for the public and scientists. The first DESIGNAE conference is planned to disseminate the results.
