ZSEM, Zagreb School of Economics and Management, in collaboration with partners on the 4InnoPipe2 project, is organizing a full-day masterclass dedicated to biomimicry – an innovation approach that looks to nature to solve complex human challenges.
Biomimicry offers a transformative framework for innovation. By rethinking how we define problems and learning from nature’s time-tested and sustainable strategies, participants will explore how to develop solutions that are effective, adaptable, and aligned with natural systems.
At the core of this approach is curiosity – observation, diverse perspectives, and the development of critical and creative thinking. These essential skills, often overlooked in traditional education and business, will be at the center of this masterclass.
Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical activities, participants will:
The goal is to encourage participants to rethink conventional approaches, challenge existing assumptions, and develop innovations that are sustainable and adaptable in the long term.
By the end of the masterclass, participants will have developed practical skills that can be applied across different contexts—from reframing challenges to implementing nature-inspired solutions.
Participants will receive a certificate issued by Learn Biomimicry, in collaboration with the 4InnoPipe2 project and Flames@SmileHigh.
