From December 5th to 7th, the 7th Institute Conference was held in Padua, with broad participation of researchers from all research sites and of ICB associates at the University of Padua.These days provided an opportunity to share the results of scientific activities, and for the first time, a meeting took place between ICB researchers and the recently established Scientific Council. This experiment allowed for a direct presentation to the community of the main activities taking place in the four ICB research sites, current research lines, and future development programs. It also provided an opportunity to engage with prominent personalities in the field from outside the Institute.
Significant contributions were made by our “young researchers,” who were awarded a parchment as a symbol of the Institute’s esteem. Additionally, an award for the best presentation was given to Dr. Chiara Giraldo. There is great satisfaction with the outcome of all the meetings and the time spent together, extending beyond scientific discussions. We had the opportunity to discover and explore the beauties of the magnificent city of Padua and its monuments.
