"Symbiosis-science and technology for sustainable environment towards societal well-being"
IPCB aims to strengthen research collaboration with young researchers and encourage multilateral cooperation among ASEAN countries, advancing next-generation science and sustainable development of our natural resources. Biotechnology unlocks the environment’s potential, enhancing management, bio- and eco-engineering technologies, and industrial applications. Continued efforts in building knowledge from environmental and technological areas of scientific research is important in lifting societal well-being, and the young researchers of today are future leaders that will bolster the scientific community in tackling critical problems in the world. Managing human resource development for a technologically advanced world is a substantial challenge, and IPCB serves as a platform in developing capable people under the guidance of pioneer scientists across regions by addressing specific issues of national context as part of a wider globalized society.
OBJECTIVES
To provide a relevant platform for idea sharing, knowledge and technology transfer among the participants across countries.
To create close professional relationships between academics, scientists and graduate students from various relevant fields.
To embark on emerging opportunities and sustainable development issues in the biotechnology based industry.
To create opportunities for researchers from ASEAN region for collaboration linkages at national and international levels.
