About ICG-20

Dear colleagues and friends around the globe, the 20th Annual Meeting of the International Conference on Genomics Hangzhou (ICG-20 Hangzhou) will be held in Hangzhou, China, from Oct. 23 to 26, 2025 (tentative), under the theme “The Future of Omic and AI”.

The ICG-20 Hangzhou will continue to uphold the spirit of the Human Genome Project (HGP) - "Owned by All, Done by All, Shared by All", advocating for global and human-wide sharing, especially promoting international cooperation among developing countries.

In recent years, rapid advances of omics and AI technologies have provided powerful tools and innovative ideas that are revolutionizing the ways of life digitization, biodiversity conservation, agricultural breeding, and exploration of biodiversity genetic resources.

As the main conference of the ICG-20 this year, ICG-20 Hangzhou will bring together leading experts and scholars from around the world to share the latest findings and inspired ideas about the application of cutting-edge omics & AI technologies in areas such as evolutionary biology, extreme climate and endangered species conservation, soil and agriculture, biodiversity genetic resource mining, ecological monitoring, etc.
