The Biomimicry Center in the School for Complex Adaptive Systems, part of the College of Global Futures, was established as a joint effort between ASU and Biomimicry 3.8 to facilitate biomimicry education and research activities. The center is aligned with the Global Futures Laboratory vision<\/a> of creating conditions for a thriving life on a healthy planet. It operates under the learning, discovery, and network core spaces of GFL, supporting CGF\u2019s mission of driving informed, positive action as we work together to build a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBC offers a two-pronged approach that consolidates our Learning (Education) space \u2014 which supports our \u2018arroyo\u2019 model, and grows our solutions (Research) space \u2014 our evolved \u2018seeds\u2019 model. Learning from nature is core to the Center; even our strategy takes inspiration from nature\u2014our metaphoric arroyo provides nourishment and rejuvenation to those who visit, while seeds carry new possibilities into neighboring ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arroyo offers two graduate-level programs online and an on-campus undergraduate certificate.<\/h4>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
