Thursday, March 12, 2026 (update) – We are pleased to report that the symposium is attracting very high interest, with a number of requests exceeding initial expectations. This reflects the strong attention of the international community toward Syrphidae research and the topics that will be addressed during the event.
Registration for the symposium remains open. The basic package is still available and includes symposium registration, coffee breaks, lunches, the welcome dinner, and the Gala dinner. Due to the high number of participants already registered, the accommodation packages (4‑night and 5‑night options) and all dinners are no longer available, as the capacity of the partner hotels has been reached.
Participants may still register and take part in all scientific and social activities, arranging their own accommodation independently.
