The ICG-15 is scheduled to be held on Oct. 25th-31st, 2020 in Wuhan City, China. As in the first announcement released on April 8th when Wuhan City lifted its lockdown, we are happy to share with you the approaching normal situation in Wuhan with most, if not all, of social activities resumed, and extend our warm welcome to all friends to join us for the ICG-15.

Following the ICG's permanent theme of "OMICS for ALL", the annual theme of the ICG-15 is "Omics and Global Health", covering the vast fields of life sciences, especially omics, from global collaboration and education, ethics, state-of-the-arts and breakthroughs in technology development, to big data and biobanking, global sustainable development, and etc.

Since its first annual meeting, the ICG has provided a platform for free discussions related to omics, as well as an annual opportunity to meet prestigious scientists, researchers, policy makers and others from related fields, facilitating cooperation, innovation and applications in the field of omics. This year, as ICG makes its debut in Wuhan, we will utilize this opportunity to share experience and lessons for the prevention and control of future epidemics. Please come and join us at the late autumn in Wuhan.
