ISBR2027: Where science, policy and society meet

The ISBR Symposium (previously ISBGMO) brings the global biosafety community together to advance sustainable bio-innovation. Its strength lies in connecting scientific research with regulatory experience and open dialogue across plant, animal and microbial biotechnology.

Join us for the 18th ISBR Symposium, 3–7 October 2027, at The Trans Resort Bali, Indonesia, under the theme “Fostering Sustainable Bio-Innovation: A Partnership between Science, Policy, and Society.”

Gain fresh insights. Build lasting connections. Help shape what comes next. From genome editing and emerging technologies to risk assessment, regulation and public trust, ISBR2027 will connect you with the evidence, experience and people that can move your work forward. Exchange ideas directly with researchers, regulators, policymakers and developers from around the world, and explore how others are tackling the challenges you face.

Whether you are establishing your career or bringing decades of experience, you will find a community ready to listen, challenge ideas and collaborate. Bali offers an inspiring setting for those conversations, in a region with a growing role in bio-innovation.

Bring your expertise, your questions and your ambition for sustainable bio-innovation. Join us in Bali and be part of shaping its future.
