A meeting organized in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Bionics is a broad area of innovative technologies emerging from the synergies of information technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology, with rapidly growing markets in the biomedical area. In the last years, the Politecnico di Torino and the Faculty of Information Technology of Pázmány University in Budapest have been jointly organizing a series of workshops in this area, with subjects ranging from Cellular Wave Computing to Lab-on-a-Chip technologies. At the initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Unitá per la Cooperazione Scientifica e Technologica), the Italian Institute of Culture will host the Bionics meeting as a a part of a lecture series organized within the framework of the Year of Italo-Hungarian Cultural Exchange. The International Centre of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering of Trieste will join the event presenting biotech cooperation in an international setting. The workshop aims to stimulate discussions in order to define the priorities in this area for the next years, as well as to promote scientific cooperation between Italy and Hungary in this emerging technological area.
