BIT's 9th Annual World Congress of Ocean-2021

Rescheduled Notice

With cases of Covid-19 reaching new heights in the world, some states have to adapt rapidly with their rules and regulations. After seeking advice from the some agency and venue hotel in Singapore, also considering the traffic control and epidemic prevention, the committee must admit this June is not a good time for holding an event. So after serious consideration, the organizing committee decides to postpone this meeting to next June at Singapore. Sincerely hope you can understand such a demanded action.

Apart from protecting our participants, rescheduling non-essential gathering and travel also aims to contain the spread of coronavirus disease and protect the health system which will otherwise be overwhelmed. Thank you very much for your understanding in the complex situation.
