Overview: Actively scientific exchange is one of the critical factors for the success of scientists from their early education to throughout their career. Within Vietnam, there are limited opportunities for research funding and qualified scientific conferences for young researchers to update with state-of-the-art technologies and advanced discoveries. With the aim to promote active and professional scientific exchanges among biological researchers, we have formed a network of young biologists via a series of meetings at International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh since 2017. Remarkably, the 5th Rencontres de Quy Nhon: International Biology Conference 2022 was extended globally with 380 scientists from 17 countries.
With the success of previous Biology Conferences and in order to encourage the scientific exchanges and collaborations among young scientists in the life science sectors, the Organizing Committee decided to organize “The 6th Rencontres de Quy Nhon: International Biology Conference 2023” (BIO2023 Quy Nhon) from September 20-22, 2023 at ICISE, Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam.
Conference Themes:
In 2023, the BIO2023 Quy Nhon will focus on the general themes “From Connections to Collaborations” in different sectors of life sciences with the following topics:
– Fundamental and applied researches in the field of plant biotechnology
– The diversity and importance of microbiology in addressing current global challenges, such as food security, environmental sustainability, and health.
– Application of advantages from OMICS, big data analysis and artificial intelligence in improvement of human healthcare, food safety, and environment.
There will be 4 concurrent sessions, respectively.
