The conference not only provides a platform to showcase the fruits of research from experts in the fields, but also aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between the academia and the industry. This year, the Department of Chemical Engineering of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) will co-host the 2015 20th BEST International Symposium on Biotechnology and Bioengineering with the Department of Chemical Engineering at National Taiwan University (NTU). The responsibility of hosting the annual conference has been delegated to the two universities as they are nationally renowned academic institutions dedicated to cultivating talents, research and development, and providing services to the industry. The two universities are also endowed with the responsibility of supporting the nation’s demand for economic growth and advancement of scientific technology. In order to foster worldwide collaborations and promote international academic exchanges, this year’s conference marks its debut as the first international conference of its kind. The 2015 20th BEST International Symposium on Biotechnology and Bioengineering will serve as a global platform, where world renowned scholars from the United States, Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, etc., are invited to share their expertise in research and promote scientific discourses. It is anticipated that through this international meeting, scholars from various parts of the world can build collaborations and exchange ideas to further innovative research in the fields of Biotechnology and Bioengineering. The topics covered by this conference include subjects related to Biotechnology, Energy, Biosensing, Biomedical Engineering, and so forth. This conference serves as an excellent opportunity for international participants from the academia, the industry, and various research institutes to network, bond, and engage in developing new ideas that will promote the establishment of international relations and collaborations for future interdisciplinary research.
