Full papers (12-15 pages, ~300 words per page) are invited from researchers at any stage in their career and should present significant findings and advances in biomimetic or biohybrid research. Full papers will be accepted for either oral presentation (single track) or poster presentation. Authors with more than one paper will be limited to a maximum of one oral presentation.
SHORT PAPERS – APRIL 12, 2024 APRIL 22, 2024 11:59pm PST
