The symposium was based on the frontiers of the life sciences in the 21st century, aiming to seek opportunities for cooperation and collaboration between China and Russia, promote the cooperation and exchange of scientists from both countries in the nutrition field. The issues of international special dietary product development status and trends, special nutrient separation, purification, and the identification of structural modification, extreme environment protection mechanisms, and the biosynthesis and transformation of anti-extreme environmental protection substances were discussed in-depth. Learning from each other in both cross-professional knowledge and technical dimensions was encouraged. The symposium also provided opportunities for edible plant resources development and utilization. It aimed to promote bilateral research exchange and cooperation between the participants and encouraged high level collaborative research and high level academic papers publication so as to promote substantive cooperation between the two countries.
