LIVING MACHINES 2025:  The 14th International Conference on Biomimetics and Biohybrid Systems

15th - 18th July 2025 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

This international conference is targeted at the intersection of research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems—biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems.  We seek to highlight the most exciting international research in both of these fields united by theme of “Living Machines”.

The first conference day, 15th July 2025 is dedicated to workshops and tutorials. 

The main conference will then continue in the form of a three-day single-track oral presentations program, 16th - 18th July, with poster sessions on 16th and 17th July, at The Diamond in Sheffield, UK.

Proposals for the workshops and tutorials are invited on any theme (biomimetic, biohybrid or both) related to the main conference.  

Proposals will be refereed and selected competitively based on the criteria: 

(i) relevance to the themes of the conference

(ii) scientific and/or technical quality

(iii) timeliness and/or novelty

(iv) breadth of appeal

(v) our evaluation of the financial risk relating to the event (i.e. costs in relation to expected registrations).


Note on costs: 

Organiser travel/accommodation and registration for the main meeting are permissible expenses that can be set against the event costs, subject to the above proviso that the event must generate funds in excess of its total other costs which include those relating to meeting rooms/equipment, tea/coffee/lunches, promotion costs.  

Events will be priced so as to cover expected costs, including organiser costs. 

For events with high organiser costs a larger number of participants is generally expected rather than a higher registration fee.  

If you propose an event that includes substantial additional costs please indicate why you expect to receive sufficient registrations to cover these.
