ARCELOR/LIEGE U: BIOMIMETICS

[BIZ/SCI-TECH: Liège, November 10]
‘New Strategies in Perspective’ is the name of a session to be held at the Château de Colonster in Liège on Thursday, November 17, at 14:30. Where the largely unexplored field of biomimetics [i.e.: good design based on naturally occurring design phenomena] will be discussed and where an assessment will be made of the new products that could be generated by the encounter between space science and steel technology. This is an attempt to answer the question as to how a metal supports with very high value for biomedical, special, and electronic purposed can be produced.

After signing a partnership agreement in February 2004, Arcelor and the University of Liège have got together to develop new pathways for cooperation in this broad and interdisciplinary area. The objective is to identify innovations likely to lead to new products and to thus contribute to the creation of new business in the region.
