Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders in biomimetics to submit papers for the upcoming Biomimetics Conference 2025. This interdisciplinary conference will explore the frontiers of bioinspired technologies and systems, bringing together expertise from diverse fields to examine how nature’s principles can inform and revolutionize modern science, engineering, and design.
The conference will feature the following main sessions and welcomes submissions on these and related topics:
S1. Bioinspired Electronics
Examples include nature-inspired electronic materials and components; flexible, stretchable, and wearable electronics; self-healing circuits and biohybrid devices; and energy-efficient electronic designs modeled after biological systems.
S2. Bioinspired Computing—Algorithms and Prototypes
Examples include computational algorithms derived from biological processes, including neural, evolutionary, or swarm algorithms; prototype computing devices inspired by biological structures; neuromorphic computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning using biomimetic approaches; and bioinspired data processing and memory storage techniques.
S3. Bioinspired Materials—Structures, Surfaces, and Interfaces
Examples include the development of materials inspired by biological structures (e.g., lotus effect surfaces, spider silk-inspired fibres); interfaces and coatings mimicking biological surfaces; structural materials inspired by nature’s resilience and efficiency; and applications in medical, aerospace, and environmental sciences.
S4. Bioinspired Architecture and the Built Environment
Examples include sustainable building designs and materials influenced by biological systems; adaptive and responsive architectural systems; structural optimization based on natural forms; and biomimetic urban planning and green infrastructure.
S5. Bioinspired Robotics
Examples include robotics inspired by animal and plant biomechanics; autonomous and self-repairing robots; soft robotics, biomimetic actuators, and sensors; and swarm robotics and cooperative robotic systems.
S6. Bioinspired Arts
Examples include bioinspired music; art installations and visual arts inspired by biomimicry; bioinspired design in fashion, textiles, and product design; cross-disciplinary collaborations between art, science, and technology; and interactive and multimedia art influenced by natural systems.
We encourage submissions of original research, case studies, design prototypes, and conceptual frameworks that address any of the topics listed above. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field, with selected papers being presented during the conference sessions and considered for publication in the conference proceedings.
Join us at the Biomimetics Conference 2025 to exchange insights, showcase innovations, and explore the future of bioinspired technology. Let nature inspire your next breakthrough!

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
