COLSA 2015 - 2015 Second Conference on the Life Sciences and Sustainability in Asia

This year, 2015, marks the 70th Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Remembrance events for the victims of the atomic bombing, as well as for the pursuit of peace. Visitors to Hiroshima will be charmed by its warm June temperatures and green, eco-friendly environment. It is easy to move around the small city on foot or by using its famed ‘Hiroden’ streetcar, which only costs JPY 150! The mild weather and low travel costs make Hiroshima a popular travel destination for both international and domestic visitors. Hiroshima also boasts two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Miyajima Floating Shrine and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
COLSA 2015 is offering sponsored tours to Miyajima Floating Shrine and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial for all registered participants!!
About COLSA 2015
We are pleased to hold COLSA once again in Hiroshima and this year we are combining COLSA with two other science events concerning sustainability in the sciences: The Asian Conference on the Physical Sciences and Sustainability and the Asian Conference on Food Science and Security.
COLSA 2015 is an international, peer-reviewed conference. Full papers are welcome, but not required. Registered participants with an accepted abstract and/or refereed full paper will be published in the COLSA 2015 Conference Proceedings (ISSN 2189-2261).
The explosive development of the life sciences, physical sciences and food sciences and their expansion into other disciplines such as the IT field is yielding groundbreaking discoveries from novel genes and bio-products to cutting-edge nanotechnology, resulting in a transformed science landscape with profound global applications in understanding life, eradicating diseases, securing a more equitable food and water supply/distribution as well as creating novel bio-industries and products. The sheer scope and number of these scientific advances and the never-ending influx of knowledge, while at times overwhelming, both challenge and inspire hope for an improved quality of life for all.
The three-day conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, policy makers, students and professionals. With the theme Global Trends in the Life Sciences, it is hoped that this intersection of disciplines will help scientists and professionals to stay at the leading edge of recent advances in life sciences and sustainability, act as a catalyst for further research, improve international collaboration while bridging the scientific and technological differences between developed and developing nations, and foster global health security.
