Since its inception in 2016, ICBB has grown into a platform of international resonance, bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and stakeholders from around the world to discuss and collaborate on advancements in bioscience and biotechnology. The 2026 edition of ICBB, hosted in the scenic city of Pokhara, Nepal, from February 6 to 9, marks a significant milestone as we celebrate 10 years of this prestigious conference series.
Under the wider theme of “Cultivating a Research Ecosystem in the Global South“ the event will feature a series of individual speaker sessions, group and panel discussions, designed to engage various stakeholders who are vital to the development of the research ecosystem and broader community. These sessions and discussions will explore topics such as collaboration, higher education, bringing brains back, research ecosystem and entrepreneurship, fostering discussions that bridge academia, industry, and community engagement. By bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and policymakers, the conference aims to create synergies that drive innovation and address societal needs.
We invite researchers to submit abstracts for presentations on original, unpublished research across our four scientific sessions. Submissions by 5th December 2025.
General registration is also open to all. Join us in Pokhara to share your research, network with global experts, and contribute to cultivating the research ecosystem in the Global South. Register today!
