Public relations project (Ö)

• Subject Area: Construction Engineering and Architecture
• Term: from 2014 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 231064407

Biomimetics has the potential to attract a wider public to fundamental research in science and engineering. The principal aim of project Ö is the coordination and implementation of public relations activities of TRR 141. Next to a variety of publications and lectures, the exhibition “baubionik“ at the Rosenstein Museum Stuttgart was the main event of the first funding period. In the second funding period these activities will be further broadened and expanded, including larger biomimetic structures in Heilbronn and Freiburg.
