Echappées Inattendues: La Bioinspiration

This event, part of the CNRS's "Echappées inattendues" series, explores how nature inspires solutions to modern challenges through three 10-minute micro-conferences on bioinspiration. Attendees will discover how biomimicry can shape everything from future cities to ocean cleanup, with talks on building with living organisms, using sea foam to filter pollutants, and learning from dragonflies to design more agile drones.

The talks are led by researchers including architect Natacha Chayaamor-Heil, physicist Florence Elias, and CNRS physicist Camille Aracheloff. The event is free and takes place at the Médiathèque Marguerite Duras in Paris's 20th arrondissement, offering a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge science in an accessible format.
