The scientific and international NICE-Conferences are organized with the objective to share new developments in the growing field of bioinspiration & biobased approaches (since 2012) and to understand new challenges that are being faced in these fields of research.
The NICE conference encompasses chemistry, biology, physics, material sciences and gives a multi-disciplinary overview of biomimetic approaches to engineering new materials and systems.

These conferences are organized into three main sessions: SmartTech, NanoTech and BioTech. Amongst them: nanomaterials, energy storage and conversion, stimuli-responsive materials, adhesive/anti-adhesive materials, functional polymers, biobased chemistry, soft materials as well as applications in energy, environment and sustainability.

The conference takes place every two years in Nice located in the French Riviera (France) and brings together researchers, managers, manufacturers and decision-makers with different backgrounds. The conference promotes, the exchange of ideas, open discussion of current research problems and the development of new ideas and collaborations aimed at finding eco-friendly, green, sustainable solutions to materials challenges that will have a lasting impact for generations.
