The 30th International Carbohydrate Symposium (ICS2020) planned in July 12-17, 2020, at Shanghai has been cancelled.
The ICS2020 was aimed to follow the convention of the previous ICS symposiums, to provide a global forum for researchers engaging in all aspects of carbohydrates. Besides classical topics on carbohydrate chemistry, chemical glycobiology, and glycobiology, are highlighted the current developments of carbohydrates and glycotechnologies in the fields of diagnosis and therapy of diseases, nutrients and cosmetics, agriculture and biofuels, and materials. The ICS2020 will reflect the state-of-art as well as future trends of the glycosciences, and forge communications and corporations between glycoscientists from various areas and disciplines.
