Glyco26 in 2023,Taipei It is with great disappointment that the organizers of the 26th International Symposium on Glycoconjugates (Glyco26) and the International Glycoconjugate Organization (IGO) have collectively reached a decision to defer the meeting originally scheduled for late August this year in Taipei to Aug 27 – Spet 1, 2023, at the same venue.
This move reflects the majority wish to hold an in person meeting that can be widely attended by glycoscientists from all over the world, without the health concerns and traveling restrictions imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, which we anticipate will continue through much of the rest of 2021. Despite hoping for a better turn, we could no longer see a feasible path forward to an in person meeting this year. With Glyco26 now scheduled for 2023, we would also like to announce that the subsequent Glyco27, Glyco28 and Glyco29 symposia will be moved to 2025, 2027, and 2029, in Vancouver, Japan and France, respectively.
The local Organizing Committee for Glyco26 wishes to thank all of you who have visited this page and have planned to join us in Taipei, 2021. Your enthusiasm and support are very much appreciated. It is with regret that we could not proceed as planned but hope to welcome you back in 2 years’ time in Taipei!
Prof. Els Van Damme, the 2021 IGO Award Laureate, and Dr. Elena Chiricozzi, the 2021 IGO Young Glycoscientist Award Laureate, will be giving an online presentation in a specially arranged event on August 31st, 2021.
Details will be announced later.
