The International Conference Nano Bio Intelligence 2025 (ICNBI 2025) was a three-day international conference organised with the support of School of Biomedical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology Sydney and editor team from Exploration, a Wiley multidisciplinary science and technology journal.

Exploration has a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 30.4 and ranks among the world’s top five journals in the Multidisciplinary Sciences category in both Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and the Scopus CiteScore rankings.

The conference focused on emerging research at the intersections of nanotechnology, biological science, biomedical engineering and intelligent technologies, while also providing dedicated platforms for research training, academic publishing dialogue and international community building.

The Conference Chairs were:

The Conference Steering Committee comprised:

The Session Chairs were:

The Conference Organising Committee included:

This organisational structure combined senior academic leadership, scientific session coordination and active participation by early-career researchers, supporting both the intellectual programme and the practical delivery of the conference.

In addition to the main scientific programme, ICNBI 2025 featured four special events:

The Meet the Editors session connected conference participants directly with editorial leaders from major international journals:

The session provided an opportunity to discuss journal scope, manuscript positioning, interdisciplinary scientific communication, editorial assessment and the publication expectations of leading journals in sensor science, materials science, chemistry and interdisciplinary science and technology.

The Early Career Forum addressed issues particularly relevant to researchers establishing independent academic careers. It provided a platform for discussing research direction, collaboration, academic visibility, funding strategy and long-term professional development.

The HDR Forum was designed for higher-degree research students, including doctoral and research master’s candidates. It enabled emerging researchers to present their work, receive feedback and develop connections across disciplines and institutions.

The Society Launch reflected the broader ambition of ICNBI to develop beyond a single conference event and contribute to a sustained international community in nano–bio intelligence. This initiative aimed to support continued scientific exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement among researchers at different career stages.

ICNBI 2025 was distinguished not simply by the breadth of disciplines represented, but by its integration of several functions that are often separated within conventional academic meetings:

By combining these elements, the conference provided more than a venue for presenting research results. It created a shared intellectual space in which nanoscience, biology, engineering and intelligent technologies could be discussed within a common framework, while offering differentiated opportunities for senior researchers, early-career investigators and research students.

ICNBI 2025 therefore served both as an international scientific meeting and as a platform for building longer-term connections among researchers, institutions, journals and emerging academic communities.

We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples joining us for ICNBI 2025.
