General Information
Bionic engineering is the study of living systems with the intention of applying their principles to the design of engineering systems, and it is an interdisciplinary research area which integrates biology, materials science, mechanics, informatics, tribology, and other related subjects. In recent years, bionic engineering is developing very fast at the global wide, and many bionic scientific products have been designed and produced.
The 3rd International Conference of Bionic Engineering (ICBE'10), which is jointly organized by National Nature Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Science and Technology of China, Ministry of Education of China and Jilin University, will be held on September 14-16,2010 in Zhuhai, China. Extending from the successful 1st and 2nd International Conference of Bionic Engineering (ICBE'06 and ICBE'08), the ICBE'10 will bring together scholars and professionals in the academic field and industry from all over the world to share their research experience and to explore research collaboration in the areas of bionic engineering. Similar to all other good specific or comprehensive conferences related to bionic, ICBE'10 is an international forum for scientists and engineers, researchers and consultants, theoreticians and practitioners in this field, and it is believed that this conference will greatly promote the development of bionic engineering around the world.

Important Activities
ISBE is launched by many scholars from fifteen countries, which are China, The United Kingdom, Germany, The United States of America, Russia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, Austria, Romania, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Brazil. The Society is registered in P. R. China, monitored and directed by the registered department. The Secretariat of the Society is always located at Jilin University, Changchun, P. R. China.
The establishment of ISBE means the acknowledgement from the whole international scholars to the research level and status of China in bionic engineering. It is desirable for the subject of international bionic engineering to develop quickly and smoothly. It is a key action to give birth to new interdisciplinary subjects, enrich and develop the system of bionics.
Invited speakers
1. Chris Rudd (Nottingham University, UK)
2. Dai Zhendong (Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China)
This will be updated once others are available.

Travel & Accommodation
Macau may be firmly back in China's orbit, but the Portuguese patina on this Sino-Lusitanian Las Vegas makes it a most unusual Asian destination. It has always been overshadowed by its glitzy near-neighbour Hong Kong - which is precisely why it's so attractive.
Macau's dual cultural heritage is a boon for travellers, who can take their pick from traditional Chinese temples, a spectacular ruined cathedral, pastel villas, old forts and islands that once harboured pirates. A slew of musuems will tell you how it all came about.
Hong Kong is located on China's south coast, facing the Pearl River Estuary in the east, with an overall territory of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and around 230 offshore islands, of which the largest is Lantau Island. It borders the Shenzhen Economic Zone to the north over the Shenzhen River, and 60 km east of Macau across the South China Sea.
As a city of mixed Chinese and Western cultures, Hong Kong preserves its Chinese convention; meanwhile, bears a clear mark of British colonial influence. Lying on the coastal line of Guangdong Province, Hong Kong prevails in local practices; on the other hand, actively develops itself into a modern hi-tech metropolis. Hong Kong is also a colorful resort, featuring in unique culture heritages such as temples, villages, clan halls, and historic sites of colonial times. Outskirts and countryside are available for leisure and adventure. Local people are industrious, adaptive, creative, and high in education, making the city into a productive and dynamic one.
