The ISBE organizes the International Workshop on Bionic Engineering (IWBE) in different countries since 2017 aiming to provide excellent academic exchange platform for all of the bionics researchers around the world. As with the previous workshop series, IWBE 2025 will be jointly organized with the 15th Plenary Meeting of ISO/TC 266 Biomimetics on September 23-27 in Vienna, Austria. This joint event will focuses on technology innovation and standardization.

Vienna, the capital city of Austria, is a beautiful and historic city that is filled with culture and charm. Vienna is located in the northeast of Austria, with the Danube River flowing through it. The city is famous for being the City of Music. The Vienna Opera House and the Music Hall are iconic venues where visitors can experience the city's musical heritage.
