Welcome

I am pleased to announce the XVI edition of the Congress of the Italian Federation of Life Sciences (FISV), which will take place from 14 to 16 September 2022 in Naples at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Department of Agriculture, located in the historical Reggia di Portici.

Our Federation is presently composed by twenty Scientific Societies (AAI, ABCD,  ADRITELF, AGI, BITS, SIB, SIBBM, SIBE, SIBS, SIBV, SICA, SIF (The Italian Society of Pharmacology), SIF (The Physiological Society of Italy), SIGA, SIGU, SIMAG, SIMGBM, SIP MeT, SIPaV, SITOX), representing different aspects of the Life Sciences. I would like to thank them all for having contributed to put together an outstanding program, aiming at fostering interdisciplinary exchange at the forefront of the life sciences. Internationally renowned scientists from Italy and abroad will present their most recent data; young Italian and foreign scientists will be welcomed to present their research in a highly stimulating and interactive scientific environment. We will also hold round tables on selected hot topics as well as talks dedicated to a broader audience to enhance the interaction between scientists and non-scientists.

We are sure that you will enjoy very much this exciting Congress and anxiously look forward to meeting you in Portici.
