Speed Dating for $15K Contest in Bio-Inspired Innovation

Big Ideas @ Berkeley and the ASUC are sponsoring a $15,000 contest in Bio-Inspired Innovation as part of the $138,000 campus-wide Bears Breaking Boundaries Contests.

"Describe a new idea for a research project that is inspired by living systems."

To learn more about the Bio-Inspired Innovation contest, visit
http://contest.berkeley.edu/contest_pages/9


To learn about the contest as a whole, visit http://contest.berkeley.edu

To encourage plenty of new ideas, we are organizing a "speed dating" session for interdisciplinary research. Groups of interested students from a variety of backgrounds will meet, and will have a short period of time to generate ideas for potential research projects. For example, a biologist might describe some natural functionality that exists at the molecular, cellular, or organismal level, and a physical scientist, engineer, or MBA student might describe how this function might inform the design of materials, devices, systems, or services.

To participate in this session, send us an e-mail at bioinspire@gmail.com with your name, contact information, and a paragraph on your interests in bio-inspired innovation.

Tentative date & time:
March 15, 2007
6 pm - 8 pm.
