The EST Training Network proposes a multidisciplinary training programme which enables graduate students and young scientists to pursue interdisciplinary research projects. This project focuses on the new research field of Biomimetic Systems, which is at the borderline of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials research, and consists of model systems in the nano- and micro regime which mimic or imitate certain aspects of the complex self-organization in biological systems.
