COST and Ecsite Advanced Science Communication Training Course (2nd edition)

Science is all around us and communicating results to policy makers, ministers, industry, journalists, teachers and students is just as important as carrying out the research. It’s important to get more funding, raise stronger interest and increase scientific research in Europe and worldwide. COST and Ecsite are organising a second training course on advanced communication skills for Action Chairs and Vice-Chairs.

Principles and Development of Bio-Inspired Materials

Bio-inspired materials are becoming of increasing interest in many fields of practical applications. In contrast to man-made materials natural materials such as wood, bone and shells are composed of only limited number of basic components. They gain their diversity in mechanical properties by hierarchical structuring which allows them to fulfil a variety of functions e.g. self-healing, mechanical stability, high toughness.
