The sympoisum also is part of Indonesian Science Expo 2018, the largest scientific event in Indonesia, co-oragnized with Research Center for Biology and for Biomaterials of Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) on 1 November 2018 in Tangerang, Indonesia.
Southeast Asia is one of biodiversity hot spots in the world. For example, Indonesia is one of the 17 megadiverse countries and with 2 of the world’s 25 biodiversity hotspots.

These biodiversity resource is expected to contribute to the sustainable development of the region.
Based on the above background, the symposium will focuse on the following themes:
(1) Biodiversity and genetic resources exploration and monitoring,
(2) Bioprospecting and sustainable use of the bioresources,
(3) Bioresource Technology for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and
(4) Synergy Effects of Collaboration of ASEAN and Japan.
This symposium expected to be attended by 200 participants, including JASTIP and JASTIP-NET researchers, SATREPS researchers, keynote speakers from ASEAN and Japan, application based participants and university students. Also, free admission.
