INTRODUCTION
The Design and Nature Conference is to be reconvened in 2010 following the success of previous meetings, the first of which was held in Udine, Italy in 2002, followed by the second in Rhodes, Greece in 2004, a third in the New Forest, UK, in 2006, and the last one in the Algarve, Portugal in 2008.
Throughout history, many leading thinkers have been inspired by the parallels between nature and human design, in mathematics, engineering and other areas.Today, the huge increase in biological knowledge, developments in design engineering systems, together with the growth in computer power and the developments in simulation modelling, have all made more comprehensive studies of nature possible.
Scientists and engineers now have at their disposal a vast array of relationships for materials, mechanisms and control. The resulting laws have been painstakingly assembled by observation and analysis and span the cosmic scale of space down to the molecular level of genetics. In particular, they have made us aware of the rich diversity of the natural world around us.
It is these developments which have prompted the reconvening of this international conference on Design and Nature. It is intended that the meeting will bring together researchers from around the world working on a variety of studies involving nature and their significance for modern scientific thought and design.

NOTA TRIUNFANTE DESTE BLOGGER:
Eventos assim me animam e me dão a certeza de que a Teoria do Design Inteligente ainda vai ser debatida civilmente e acolhida pela comunidade científica. Quem viver, verá...
Darwin 3.0 já vem aí. Ciao vecchio de Down, il bambino progetto intelligente è arrivato e la ricerca di passaggio.
