venue for researchers and practitioners in diverse disciplines that seek the understanding of key principles, processes and mechanisms in biological systems and leverage the understanding to develop novel information and communications technologies (ICT).</p> <p>BICT 2021 targets three thrusts: (1) <strong>indirect bioinspiration</strong> (ICT designed after biological principles, processes and mechanisms), (2) <strong>direct bioinspiration</strong> (ICT utilizing biological materials and systems), and (3) <strong>foundational bioinspiration</strong> (biology and ICT evolving similar schemes and validity). In addition, BICT 2021 solicits papers addressing prediction, prevention and management issues of Covid-19 pandemics and other infectious diseases through bioinspired approaches.</p> </div></div><div class="accordion-tab" ><h4 class="accordion-title" ><i class="icon-plus" ></i><span>About EAI</span></h4><div class="accordion-content"><p>This event is organized by <strong>EAI</strong>.<br /> <br /> EAI – European Alliance for Innovation is a non-profit organization and a professional community established in cooperation with the European Commission to empower the global research and innovation, and to promote cooperation between European and International ICT communities.<br /> <br /> <strong>EAI’s vision</strong> is to foster excellence in research and innovation on the principles of transparency, objectivity, equality, and openness.
