Yesterday, 9th of January, was the final presentation of the Master course “Biomimetics and Energy” at the UAS Technikum Vienna. And it was a very pleasant and successful event. All groups presented amazing and well elaborated model solutions to several functional principles found in nature and technology in regards to energy efficiency.
Enjoy the results!
