The Bionicum has started with its own research projects. From 2014 to 2019, animal and plant motion mechanisms were explored and tested for more efficient human technology at the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Institute of Technology Nuremberg. The projects were supported by the Bavarian Ministry for Environment and the Nuremberg Zoo.

As a research discipline, bionics can make a significant positive contribution to society and to solving current challenges. The Bavarian State Ministry for Environment and Consumer Protection therefore funded the project network “BayBionics – From Nature to Technology” from 2019 to 2022 in order to shape future developments in research and industry in a responsible and sustainable manner.

The Bionicum promoted the projects with events and digital programmes – the special exhibition “Bionik to the Future” at the Bionicum and the app “Bionik2Future” being the main outcome of that.

More insights as well as the films Bionik Science Backstage (German and English) can be found below in the project descriptions.
