6th International Rice Congress 2023
Accelerating Transformation of Rice-Based Food Systems: From Gene to Globe
The International Rice Congress is a scientific platform for rice-based food systems innovators to work towards shaping a food- and nutrition-secure future. Convened by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) every four years, the Congress brings together scientists, experts, and decision makers from the government, private, and public sectors to formulate evidence-based solutions to some of the biggest challenges of the global rice sector.
Previous IRC editions were held in Beijing (2002), New Delhi (2006), Hanoi (2010), Bangkok (2014), and Singapore (2018). This 2023, IRC will be held for the first time in the Philippines, the home country of IRRI Headquarters.
6th International Rice Congress Organizers
The 6th International Rice Congress will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)
Rice is not just an important commodity, it is food deeply ingrained into the culture and heritage of the Philippines and many other Asian countries. The PICC, itself an iconic landmark structure and Asia’s first international convention center, will serve as a fitting backdrop for IRC 2023.
IRC 2023 will gather stakeholders from across the world to discuss a research agenda that will drive the development of solutions to accelerate urgently needed transformations in the rice sector. Moreover, it will also provide an inclusive and safe space to share and debate new ideas and suggestions, to forge partnerships, and to explore opportunities. The themes of IRC 2023 will encompass concepts from the smallest scale of genes through fields, farms, landscapes, and value chains, all the way up to national and global levels.
IRC 2023 will host various events and activities of interest to all stakeholders, from the scientific and research communities to NARES and regional development organizations. Private sector groups from global corporations to agripreneurial startups will also find a platform to showcase their innovations, build their networks, and secure partnerships and investments.
