Two globally influential scientific societies – CSOBMR of CMA, and ICMRS – contribute to this conference through their common research subjects as well as highly relevant topics in the field of osteoporosis and bone mineral research.

Chongqing is a port city with the largest municipal area and population in China.It is situated in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers in southwest China.Since the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BC), many dynasties have set up administrative institutions that have endowed the city with brilliant cultures. Perched beside the Yangtze, the "Golden River," Chongqing symbolizes Yangtze River civilizations and is the cradle of Bayu culture.

Today, Chongqing is a modern city, China's fourth municipality after Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin. Within its borders Chongqing encompasses a wealth of water reserves, mineral resources, dense forests, and abundant flora and fauna. Chongqing is a tourist attraction as well as a commercial city.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.
