On the morning of June 23, the opening ceremony of the Sixth International Conference on Mathematical Biology, sponsored by The Chinese Society for Mathematical Biology(CSMB) and organized by Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (BUCEA), was grandly held at the International Conference Center of Jiuhua Spa & Resort in Beijing. Zhang Ailin, President of BUCEA, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. Ma Wanbiao, Secretary General of the CSMB, and Yin Zundong, Director of the Center for Immunization Planning of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC), delivered speeches at the ceremony. Over 400 experts and scholars from more than 170 colleges and universities, both at home and abroad, attended the opening ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, Professor Zhang Ailin extended a warm welcome to the biomathematical experts, scholars and delegates from all over the world on behalf of BUCEA. He briefly introduced the history and superior disciplines of BUCEA, and highlighted the distinctive running orientation and characteristics of BUCEA, i.e. "A University with Strong Beijing Characteristics" and "A University with Highlighted Architecture Focus". He also mentioned that mathematics was developed for applications as a basis and tool for other disciplines. A polytechnic university with outstanding superiorities and distinctive features must have a solid support of science, especially the basic support of mathematics, and the integration of science and engineering was also a major trend, a manifestation of interdisciplinary integration, otherwise, the development of engineering will be deficient and difficult to reach far. He further introduced that the Mathematics Department of BUCEA was closely integrated with the demands of economic and social development and urban construction in Beijing, and focused on the integration of mathematical theories with major scientific and technological issues in engineering disciplines such as environmental engineering, civil engineering, surveying and mapping science and technology, thereby forming characteristic disciplinary orientations such as mathematical models and applications in ecological environment, models and applications of infectious disease dynamics, mathematical methods in civil engineering as well as applied research on optimization and control theory. He expressed that the experts attending the event would focus on the problem-oriented and future-oriented aspects of biomathematics, address the academic frontier issues, take the courage to innovate theories and methods, and strengthen the practical application of research outcomes. This would be conduciveto improving the level of biomathematical research in China, expanding the international academic perspectives of young scholars and students, improving the innovation capabilities, and providing a rare opportunity for in-depth cooperation and exchange between our biomathematical team of BUCEA and scholars at home and abroad.

Professor Ma Wanbiao introduced the development course of biomathematical research in China, and emphasized that the Conference aimed to promote the exchange of the latest research progress among experts and young scholars in the field of biomathematics, to build a new platform for cooperation and communication among researchers in the fields of mathematics and life sciences, and to advance the development of mathematical theories while addressing practical problems. On behalf of CSMB, he expressed his appreciation to the supporting organizations such as BUCEA, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Chinese Mathematical Society (CMS).

On behalf of the Center for Immunization Planning of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC), Director Yin Zundong extended his warmest congratulations on the convening of the Conference. He pointed out that the Center for Immunization Planning was responsible for monitoring the implementation of infectious diseases and immunization prevention services, and organizing the development of technical standards, norms, immunization strategies and implementation plans, all of which were based on mathematical models developed by biomathematical researchers, and that the Conference would promote collaborative research in the fields of biomathematics and life sciences and provide a more scientific basis for the National Health Commission to formulate rules, regulations and policies related to national immunization planning.

Cui Jing'an, President of CSMB and Dean of the School of Science at BUCEA, presided over the opening ceremony.

With the theme of "Disease Control and Urban Public Health", the Conference aimed to establish a brand new platform for experts and scholars in the field of mathematics and public health, and to strengthen international academic exchange and cooperation, to promote the development of mathematical theories while addressing practical problems. The Conference will last until June 25. Nine internationally renowned experts in biomathematics, Donald L. De Angelis, Zhilan Feng, John Glasser, Yoh Iwasa, Qing Nie, Akira Sasaki, Jorge Velasco-Hernandez, Glenn Webb, and Eberhard Voit, will be invited to deliver presentations at the event, along with other 96 breakout sessions.
