Nature4Nature creates a knowledge environment for Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to tackle the conceptual, methodological and practical challenges of bioinspiration and sets out to accomplish three objectives: • To inspire – Providing DCs with new tools and a mindset to harness biodiversity in a synergistic manner could substantially increase the scope of technological innovation. • To integrate – Equipping DCs with theoretical knowledge and experimental skills to provide a better understanding of biological complexity and its evolution, and to facilitate the transfer of biological principles to engineering designs and applications, prepares them for successful integration in an interdisciplinary innovation team. • To implement – Endowing DCs with a wide range of competences to implement bioinspired technologies in an inherently sustainable way. Understanding the expectations of the industry and public perceptions is the key to success in bioinspiration.
