The Bibliotheca Alexandrina organized its Fifth International Biennial Conference, BioVisionAlexandria 2010, held 11-15 April 2010, in Alexandria, Egypt.

    As a continuation of the tradition that started in BioVision 1999 in Lyon, France; the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is honored to be an associate of BioVision, by holding the BioVisionAlexandria, every even year, alternating with the World Life Science Forum held in Lyon, every other odd year.

    The theme of BioVisionAlexandria 2010 was  New Life Sciences: Future Prospects. It aimed to identify and explore the new frontiers and new areas in life sciences that will vastly serve humanity and provide hope for solving the world’s most pressing issues.

    Keeping in tradition with previous BioVision Alexandria conferences, BioVisionAlexandria 2010  commenced with a Nobel Day; where distinguished recipients of the Nobel Prize  shared their reflections and experiences that helped in the advancement of sciences and renovated our world.

    The Nobel Day is dedicated to honor Nobel Laureates; whose vision and perseverance in the quest for scientific excellence and novelty has changed our lives. During the three days, distinguished speakers shared their expertise and insights with the larger audience, mostly from developing countries. 

    The Conference focused on three major themes: Health, Food and Agriculture, and Environment. Each of these themes was addressed by representatives of the greatest minds in industry, science, policy-makers, and civil society fields
