The SIBBM Seminars gather every year up to 200 participants and, since their start in 2004, have become one of the most successful scientific events in Italy. The meeting offers an exciting opportunity for young researchers and Ph.D. students to talk about their work and experiences. Nearly 50% of the talks will be selected from participants' submitted abstracts.

A highlight of the SIBBM Seminars are the "Chiara D'Onofrio" awards, the most prestigious prize in Biomedical Sciences in Italy, awarded to both a senior scientist as well as to the best oral presentation by a young scientist.
