Brescia, Italy • 8-11 September 2026
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the LXXVI Congress of The Italian Society of Physiology (SIF) and the XX Congress of the Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS). This joint meeting of SIF and FEPS, entitled FEPS-SIF Brescia 2026, will be held at the University of Brescia, Faculty of Medicine (Brescia, Italy) from September 8 to 11, 2026.
The scientific program will offer exciting plenary lectures. Moreover, thanks to the contributions of all participants, several symposia and oral sessions will provide a comprehensive view of cutting-edge physiological research. The poster sessions will connect the European physiology community, and all researchers are warmly welcome to present their work.
When not in sessions, you can explore Brescia, a UNESCO-listed treasure, where Roman and Venetian history blend with a recent past of industrial production and a multi-ethnic community. The city is also your gateway to the beautiful Lakes Garda and Iseo.
We look forward to welcoming you to Brescia for an inspiring Congress of Physiology.
Sincerely,
The Local Organising Committee
