Hosted by: NASA Virtual Interchange for Nature-inspired Exploration (V.I.N.E.). Through Biocene we continue to build, encourage, and strengthen the network of those interested in biomimicry, from varied disciplines, to support developing bio-inspired innovation and the tools needed for it to evolve. Biocene supports the ecosystem of researchers, academics, scientists, business innovators, students, and the nonprofit sector by enriching the whole system through increasing knowledge of and skills in biomimicry, enabling it to diversify and thrive. The intent and spirt of Biocene is to create an atmosphere conducive to learning, sharing, and connecting, leading to further biomimicry thought and action.
