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.
Alongside the scientific conference on Day 1, Day 2 of ODC25 unfolded as an Art & Culture program – a space where science met art. 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!
