The problems to be addressed to exploit the potential of the biomimicry approach in the space domain can be summarized as follows:

Therefore, the biomimetic approach in the space sector results more complex and has to be considered in a multidisciplinary and crosssectorial framework to overcome barriers. desert zones) and specific solutions found within these terrestrial contexts can be adapted to space conditions, there is a majority of cases, which are subject to conditions which are broadly different from those encountered on earth (e.g. Therefore, there is a need for the establishment of a capillary network of contacts through Europe and elsewhere that will enable to reach also those academic centres, which are not much visible due to their reduced dimension or recent origin.Īdditionally, although some peculiar conditions characterizing space environments can be similarly encountered on earth (e.g. However, it is quite unusual to find key people or expertise centres that have cognition and expertise in all these disciplines as a whole. Biomimicry is a multi-disciplinary science involving a wide diversity of other domains like electronics, informatics, medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and many others.
