1 、 Annual Congress of International Drug Discovery Science and Technology (IDDST)

The Annual Congress of International Drug Discovery Science and Technology (IDDST) is usually held in China during October to November, which was established as an echos to many top drug discovery meetings overseaas by implanting across cultural international collaboration and outsourciing strateges for not only overseas Chinese Executives and entrepreneurs but also mainstream pharmaceutical industrial leaders. Such an annual congress has summited a outstanding platform for updating most recent advances in drug discovery field, and provide unlimited opportunities for R & D Transfer, outsourcing, cost-lowering, risk avoiding for pharmaceutical industries who want to do business with Chinese corporations and institutions. Meanwhile, the tech tour strategies allow overseas mainstream friends to understand not only how to communicate in a different cultural setting, but also understand the history and diverse cultures in China. In such case, a good and friendly network environment can be established for all the delegates to explore further followup collaborations in the future.

2、 World DNA and Genome Day

World DNA and Genome Day. is the most influencial congress that BIT organized in the past four years. The aim of World DNA Day is to follow up the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of DNA double-helix structure in Nature from April 25, 1953 by Dr. James Watson and Dr. Francis Crick. In 2003, US Congress designated April 25 of every year as National DNA Day and the whole April as Genome Month. National DNA Day has provide a significant occasion for young generations to learn genetics.

For such a purpose, BIT sponsored a new meeting platform creation, i.e. World DNA Day (WDD). WDD has received broad support from those world leading research institutes. With many leading scientists involved in such operation, and those institutions already actively involved in DNA Day celebration in the past. In fact, WDD has been confirmed being one of the best meeting places without introduction in China. Dalian City Government has honored the event as the Cities' DNA Celebration Week every year or every two year in April.

It has been successfully turned into a new idea and value sharing for the international intellectual properties exchanges as many other governmental institutions or information providers have done, World DNA Day has established a new milestone in China for encouraging extensive professional training workshops, high profile scientific symposia for the life sciences, entreprenuership, international busness development and scientific popularizations for lay public as well.

More than 5000 participants joined the opening ceremony on April 25, 2005. Five Nobel Prize Laureates and About 150 representatives from 25 countries offered lectures in 33 scientific sessions. The following up events were extended to three other cities, i.e. Shanghai, Beijing and Xi'an. Such an event has generated direct impact on more than 30,000 professionals, industrial scientists, managers, government officers, graduate students and even elemental students across China. As a gift, best services from BIT for all parties have receive good meeting brand through World DNA Day operation. BIT also received the great contribution to life science award from government. Meanwhile, tremendous professional data bases and customer resources have been established, which will definitely helpful for those who are interested in partnership with us to support the ethic drug discovery programs across the world. We have a faith that Helping others to be successful with noble ideal, then you will be the next. We just have a simple hope that World DNA Day play a meaningful role in educating not just a single person, but energize a whole family of life science devotors, it can be a gathering home of life scientists. WDD not only celebrate achievements, but also celebrate the success for the future scientists. World DNA Day already becomean excellent meeting places and learning center for professionals, graduate students, also, an outstanding information provider for the bioscientific resource integration.
