The BioInspiration Hallmark Research Initiative at the University of Melbourne is an initiative that engages and forms partnerships between different academic disciplines and industry to create real-world solutions inspired by nature. Researchers at the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Sciences (BioSciences, Chemistry, and Physics), School of Engineering, and School of Design are brought together to collaborate on finding solutions to a wide range of problems by drawing inspiration from biological systems. Specifically, the initiative focuses on three key research themes in the field of bioinspired nano-optics and material, bioinspired chemical sensors, and bioinspired design in architecture. In addition to starting these conversations across different disciplines, the initiative hosts workshops, public events, and has a seed funding scheme where they fund different groups with up to $10,000 to apply to their research efforts.
