Staunen ist die Sehnsucht nach Wissen
Thomas von Aquin, Philosoph und Theologe
Die Wissenschaft kennt heute zirka 1,7 Millionen Arten von Lebewesen. Sie und ihre Entwicklung in der belebten Natur schaffen einen unerschöpflichen Fundus an Ideen und Vorbildern für technische Entwicklungen. In Ausstellungen, Botanischen Gärten, Zoos und Museen, ist innovative Forschung verortet. Hier wird Bionik greifbar und eindrucksvoll erlebbar.

The conference will take place from June 24th to June 26th 2024 in Madrid. The 9th ICSHM continues the long-standing tradition of this biennial conference focused on advances in self-healing material science, engineering and technological applications.
Since its first edition (Noordwijk, NL – 2007) and followed by 7 successful ICSHM events organized by leaders in the field (Chicago, USA – 2009; Bath, UK – 2011; Ghent, Belgium – 2013; Durham, USA – 2015; Friedrichshafen, Germany – 2017; Yokohama, Japan – 2019 and Milan, Italy – 2022) the mission of this well-stablished conference remains unchanged. In this 9th edition the organizers will provide again a high-level international platform where recognized experts and participants will share new developments, research and testing technologies that will contribute to a more balanced materials and structures end-of-life.
