CONGRESSES
The Society regularly organizes scientific congresses attracting a growing number of young researchers and students. We are constantly engaged in the realization of new opportunities for meetings, scientific exchange, and dissemination to the general public, merging disciplines that might appear distant but that converge through the lens of evolution. We are committed to involving as many young members as possible, allowing them to learn, interact, and bring forth new ideas and perspectives. This objective is pursued also through the election of young researchers (including one PhD student) in the Scientific Council of the Society.
