Beyond the Surface is a two-day workshop bringing together 50 experts from diverse disciplines to foster cross-sector dialogue, collaboration and innovation in skin research.

We have already identified key challenges and potential innovations, but aim to go further. From November 2026, we will launch a UK-wide online questionnaire to gather insights from the public, healthcare professionals, industry and academia. This will inform a pre-workshop synthesis paper to structure discussions.
The workshop will take place in May 2026 in Edinburgh, focusing on defining key challenges and co-developing solutions and future directions. Embedded artists will document the discussions and contribute to a graphic novel capturing emerging ideas.

Outputs will include a strategic white paper and visual infographics for dissemination, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, accelerating translation into practice, and improving communication of skin science across sectors and society.

The project aims to develop a STEM education program for Danish upper secondary schools (STX and HTX), using biomimicry as a case for interdisciplinary learning that connects biology, physics, chemistry, and technology. It will develop a web-based teaching platform involving up to 10 teaching modules, related background material, laboratory and field-based activities, and an AI-based digital tool providing guided problem definition and literature research, documentation supported by a bank of “Biocards” that describe biological mechanisms and their potential technological applications, and planning/validation of experiments, all supported by an AI dialogue interface. The purpose is to enable inquiry-based learning with nature-inspired innovation and strengthen students’ curiosity towards interdisciplinary science, sustainable technology development, and potential future STEM education and careers. The educational material will be made freely available on the project website.
