Welcome

We are pleased to announce the XVIII Edition of the Congress of the Italian Federation of Life Sciences (FISV), which will take place from 21 to 23 September 2026 at the University of Milan.

The congress is a biennial meeting of FISV community, aimed at showcasing the excellence of Italian research through a program jointly developed by the federated societies, fostering dialogue across diverse and complementary disciplines, and defining shared goals and future perspectives.

Our Federation brings together 19 scientific societies (AAI, ABCD, AGI, BITS, SIB, SIBBM, SIBE, SIBS, SIBV, SICA, SIF (The Physiological Society of Italy), SIGA, SIGU, SIMAG, SIMGBM, SINS, SIP MeT, SIPaV, SITELF) and represents a community of over 10,000 researchers in the life sciences.

We would like to thank them all for having contributed to put together an exciting multidisciplinary programme of special lectures, scientific symposia complemented by poster sessions, networking opportunities for young researchers, and so much more!

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Milan.
