Centre for Biomimetic Societal Futures

Description

The Centre for Biomimetic Societal Futures is a new multi-disciplinary research centre within the University of Huddersfield, and based in Huddersfield Business School. Its aim is to expand biomimetic research beyond its more traditional STEM and design focus to develop cross-disciplinary projects that address the shape of societal futures. The Centre therefore looks to support a range of innovative research that explores nature-inspired answers to the social and organisational questions of today.

Biomimicry is an approach to solving human problems that learns from natural principles that allow all living organisms to survive and thrive. In line with this ethos, the Centre's research consciously emulates natural principles, processes, and systems to contribute to societal futures that bolster sustainable ways of living for all life on earth. The Centre aspires to address social challenges, and enhance societal life by collaborating with nature.
