What makes our biomimicry courses unique

Small groups

Our course groups consist of a maximum of 8 participants. This creates a safe, personal environment with plenty of room for interaction and attention to personal development.

Hands-on experience

All our courses are 'new style'. You are challenged on your skills and competencies. We alternate theory with workshops and experiments, so you learn to speak from experience.

Unique location

Our courses take place in a nature-rich setting in Oosterbeek or at the Hoge Veluwe National Park. We use nature as our teacher and explore the surroundings together.

Your own input

Sharing knowledge and skills is an interactive process. That's why there is ample room for your own input into the programme. Decide with your fellow participants where you want to go deeper.

Biomimicry

Biomimicry is the science and art of emulating nature's best ideas. You learn a new way of looking at your colleagues, your production processes and your product design.

Kai Verheul

With a background as a biologist and Bio-Inspired Innovator, I have been working actively with biomimicry since 2022. In my work I connect insights from nature to innovation and sustainable enterprise. For our newsletter, de Digibij, I write articles that make biomimicry accessible and applicable. I also speak on biomimicry and sustainable business design, challenging others to see nature as a source of inspiration for novel, sustainable solutions.
