Накратко на български
Биомиметичните системи изучават как природни механизми от биологията и химията могат да бъдат имитирани при създаването на нови материали и инженерни системи. Това помага на младите изследователи да развият експертиза в интердисциплинарни области и да подобрят уменията си за научна работа.

Final Activity Report Summary - BIOMIMETIC SYSTEMS (Early Stage Research Training on Biomimetic Systems)
This EST was about research training in the field of biomimetic systems. This is a highly interdisciplinary field that merges together expertises from biology, biochemistry, chemistry, experimental and theoretical biophysics, biomaterials and bioengineering. The consortium has provided a highly qualified training to the fellows including: scientific courses provided locally, secondments to other partners and courses provided at other network's location, one large conference and three workshops. The research training included participation in courses and also research under the supervision of a senior scientists. In most cases, the EST fellows aimed at reaching a doctoral qualification. In few cases, the participation of EST fellows was limited to a shorter period devoted to learn advanced methods or topics in their field. The EST fellows have made use of the excellent opportunities offered by this project to actively participate in workshops and conferences, to increase their level of independence in research and to improve their oral and written presentation skills. As far as we can tell at present, all EST fellows have found a postdoc position immediately after the end of their EST contracts. This is the most convincing sign that their work within this project has been excellent and is also a sign of the high reputation of the Marie-Curie EST.

Цел на проекта
The Early Stage Research Training Network proposed here addresses the pressing need for multidisciplinary training programmes, which enable graduate students and young scientists to pursue interdisciplinary research projects. This proposal is about the new research field of Biomimetic Systems which is at the borderline of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials research, and which has a very high potential for future applications in bioengineering, pharmacology, and biomedicine. Biomimetic Systems are model systems in the nano- and micro-regime, which mimic or imitate certain aspects of the complex self-organisation in biological systems. Research on Biomimetic Systems combines experimental and theoretical strategies such as: synthesis of biomimetic nanostructures; construction of experimental model systems; experimental characterisation; manipulation of nanostructures; external perturbations and structural transformations; construction and analysis of theoretical models; computer simulations and molecular modelling; identification of basic mechanisms and general principles.In order to prepare graduate students and young scientists for such interdisciplinary research, we need a new culture of multidisciplinary training programmes which complement the traditional university education. The EST activity proposed here provides such a programme, which integrates the knowledge bases of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. This EST should also be effective in order to attract excellent students from all around the world and to counter the brain drain towards the US. In this way, Europe will become the international leader in the training of students and young researchers for this timely and fast growing research field. The EST activity proposed here extends the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) on Biomimetic Systems" to the European level and integrates training activities at the IMPRS (Potsdam, Germany)."
