First Round Announcement | The 19th Annual Meeting of the International Conference on Genomics Sanya (ICG-19 Sanya) to be Held in Sanya, China

November 08, 2024 Views:

The ICG-19 will continue after Shenzhen! 

 

From December 4 to 6, 2024, the 19th Annual Meeting of the International Conference on Genomics Sanya (ICG-19 Sanya) will be held at Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City in Sanya, China. This esteemed event will feature a series of sessions packed with insights and breakthroughs, and we warmly invite experts, scholars, and industry peers around the world to join us in advancing global life sciences.

 

ICG is a global academic gathering in the field of omics, dedicated to the theme "OMICS for All," with a mission to harness genomics for the benefit of humanity. Since its inception, ICG has championed academic freedom, ignited innovation, and fostered collaboration across the life sciences. Thanks to the contributions of distinguished professionals and pioneers from around the world, ICG is now recognized as one of the most significant conferences in the global life sciences.

 

Since the first conference in 2006, ICG has welcomed over 1,500 scientists, including Nobel laureates, and engaged more than 15 million global participants, together witnessing the rapid advancements in genomics and life sciences.

The ICG-19 Sanya event will continue to uphold the sprite of the Human Genome Project (HGP) - “Owned by All, Done by All, and Shared by All” -  and promote global scientific collaboration and knowledge exchange. The conference will revolve around the theme “Omics Leading a Deeper and Broader Blue Bioeconomy,” spotlighting the latest advances in genomics with special attention to agricultural germplasm resources, sustainable development, and deep-sea biology and resource exploration.

 

Against the backdrop of growing importance for global agricultural sustainability and biodiversity preservation, we believe this event will not only create a platform for international academic exchange but also, with an open global perspective, contribute to advancing global agriculture toward digitalization, sustainability, and efficiency. It will further support the sustainable use of marine resources and provide scientific backing and innovative insights for the high-quality development of the marine economy.
