ODC is a global platform where life sciences meet human understanding.
We bring together science, art, philosophy, and the humanities to explore life in all its dimensions – beyond mechanisms, toward meaning.
Founded in 2018 in Korea, ODC has grown into a worldwide community of over 1,000 institutions, united by trust and a shared vision of progress with purpose.
ODC is more than a scientific conference – it is a cultural hub where knowledge, creativity, and ethics converge.
We share breakthroughs in biotechnology, ignite cross-disciplinary dialogue, and connect science with society to shape a more meaningful and sustainable future.
Day 2 of ODC25 became a stage where science and art converged. With sustainability and ethics at its core, it revealed new possibilities for ODC to expand beyond academia into culture and society.
Get ready to experience a one-of-a-kind event where science meets art and culture — happening this June 2025 in Seoul.
We’ve got an incredible lineup of groundbreaking talks, creative showcases, and unexpected collaborations coming your way.
Keep an eye on your inbox — we’ll be dropping exciting updates, event highlights, and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks soon!
ODC25 is free of charge, but if you sponsor Animal Free Initiative, which supports experimental animal-free research, you can participate in experimental animal rescue.
If you sponsor, ODC25 will present special souvenirs for you.
