More than ever, climate changes urge different parties to take actions. The maritime industry is conscious today of its responsibility. At BlueWeek 2019, AIRCOAT coordinator Johannes Oeffner (Fraunhofer CML) will present on AIRCOAT in a biommetic afternoon panel with other industry experts.

The Bionic Congress “Patents from Nature” takes place every two years . The symposium is a joint event of the Society for Technical Biology and Bionics (GTBB) with BIOKON eV and the Bionic Innovation Center (BIC) of the University of Applied Sciences Bremen.  In 2018, AIRCOAT participated through partners KIT and organising partner HSB. Professor Thomas Schimmel (KIT) presented the salvinia effect and the AIRCOAT project at a plenary poster session.

AIRCOAT was presented as part of Fraunhofer CML’s booth at SMM Hamburg 2018, the leading international maritime trade fare. A stakeholder workshop was also held as a side event during the fair, explaining the AIRCOAT concept to interested participants.

Every two years Posidonia brings together, in an exciting and unique way, the international maritime community, welcomed by Greek shipowners controlling the world’s largest merchant fleet. In Posidonia 2018, AIRCOAT’s partner DANAOS was present soon after the project’s kick-off, and presented the AIRCOAT concept to interested stakeholders.
