“Workshop on Review and Future Perspective Bionic Engineering” organized by the ISBE was held in Beijing on September 18, 2014. Professor Timothy Simalenga from the Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa chaired the workshop. 

Prof. Vilas Salokhe from Kaziranga University(India), Dr. Thomas Stegmaier from ITV Denkendorf (Germany), Prof. Jianqiao Li from Jilin University(China), Prof. Yuying Yan from the University of Nottingham (UK), Prof. Zhiwu HAN from Jilin University (China), Prof. Shujun Zhang from University of Gloucestershire (UK), and Dr. Lei Ren from the University of Manchester(UK) had reports at the workshop.
 

The topics including bionic design, bionic materials, mechanical bionics, fluid bionics, electronic bionics, and bionic robot, etc were discussed during the workshop. The attendees made a further exploration of the research methods and future perspective of bionic engineering discipline. It would play a positive role to promote academic exchanges and development of bionic engineering around the world.
