Programm - Bionik/Biomimetics in Energy Systems

At the beginning of the 21st century our industrial society is
confronted with major challenges in regard to energy and
environment. Using new insights from the developing crosssectional
discipline Biomimetics, we can utilize strategies
and procedures which have been successfully developed
by nature over four billion years of evolution. The international
Master program “Bionik/Biomimetics in Energy Systems”
focuses for the first time in Europe on the area of Biomimetics
and Energy. As a branch of Biomimetics, it researches
energy transformations in living organisms in order to develop
similar technical systems and devices for energy production.
The following questions are therefore of current relevance:
How do natural power systems work? What energy strategies
does nature follow and how does it regulate its energy
resources? What future technologies and systems can be
derived for the benefit of humanity? Which new technical
energy systems can you as a future energy expert develop
from these findings? How could a solar – industrialised world
look like? Based on nature’s model what kind of energy
future is possible and can a solar bionics strategy for the
“energy fate” of future generations be defined?
If you are interested in these topics and questions, then “Bionik/
Biomimetics in Energy Systems” at the Carinthia University of
Applied Sciences is the right Master program for you!
