IPCB aims to strengthen research collaboration among young researchers and encourage multilateral cooperation between Japan and 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 are important in lifting societal well-being, and today's young researchers are future leaders that will bolster the scientific community in tackling critical problems facing 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.
