IBCE&W 2022: International Biotechnology Conference, Exhibition and Workshop 2022 CUCRID Conference Hall, CUCRID Building, Covenant University Ota, Nigeria, September 20-22, 2022

The International Biotechnology Conference Exhibition and Workshop (IBCEW) is a biannual event of the Department of Biological Sciences, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, that focuses on hands-on training preceding an international conference on Biotechnology. The workshop part of the IBCEW was held last year between September 13th - 17th 2021 in collaboration with Inqaba Biotech Limited. It was a huge success. 

The IBCEW conference 2022 edition fits aptly into the overall goal of the University in driving local/indigenous knowledge for sustainable development in Nigeria, Africa and globally. Therefore, the Department of Biological Sciences proposes as follows:

Proposed Theme: BIOTECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS TO ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Sub-Themes:

• Food and Sustainable Agriculture
• Climate Change and Environmental Safety
• Health, Pandemic, and Biotechnology
• Biotechnology for Sustainable Bioeconomy
• Biotechnological Industries and SDGs

The IBCEW will provide an excellent opportunity for all participants to establish networks, to share ideas and to form partnerships with biotechnology-based private sectors, equipment manufacturers, technology providers, biotechnology associations, research institutes, universities, biotechnologists, and biotechnology students. It will be both hybrid and physical.

Objectives

1. To explore current and future knowledge on Biotechnological tools to achieve sustainable development goals.
2. To foster the exchange of new knowledge, experiences, and ideas among major stakeholders such as scientists, academics, students, industry representatives, and other professionals interested in biotechnology and the attainment of SDGs.
3. To develop synergies and better relationships amongst the stakeholders to advance the field of Biotechnology.
