Welcome

After a 3 years break, the Italian Federation of Life Sciences (FISV), has decided to organize once again its National Congress.

The XII FISV Congress, unlike the previous editions that were held in Riva del Garda, will take place from 24th to 27th September 2012 at La Sapienza University of Rome. The choice of a such prestigious and easily accessible venue is directed to a great relaunch and we expect to exceed 800 attendees.

Italian Federation of Life Sciences (FISV) is constituted by fourteen Scientific Societies (totalizing more than 7000 researchers) dealing with different areas of biological and biomedical research, from environment to plant physiology, from molecular and cellular biology to pathology. The Federation aims to coordinate the activities of these different societies both in the national and international fields to promote the development of the scientific research and knowledge of life sciences. All the Societies had agreed to organize a meeting in order to develop original and stimulating aspects of common interest. FISV conference, as is its tradition, will deal with internationally emerging issues, offering original contributions from some of the best Italian and foreign laboratories.

List of the FISV societies: AAI, ABCD, AGI, SIBBM, SIBE, SIBV, SIC, SICA, SIGA, SIMGBM, SIF, SIP, SIMA, SIPAV.

Subject: FISV meeting, already in its twelfth edition, continues to offer a comparison between Italian researchers and international laboratories that carry out emergent and highest level scientific research. Specific topics are chosen among the emerging subjects at international level.

Structure: the meeting will take place in four days. There will be 3 keynote lectures and 3 plenary symposia, conformed of 4 30’ lecture each one. Additionally there will be 6 parallel symposia organized by the different Societies, individually or by more than one together. The posters will be presented in two poster sessions of 2,5 hours each where the highest quality contributions will be chosen for mini-lectures.

Finally, it will be organized an evening event of divulgation character on a hot topic with a potential social impact where the press will be specially invited. The conference foresees to involve, in total, at least 15 foreign speakers and 25 Italian.

With best wishes,
Il Presidente della FISV
Prof. Felice Cervone
