Since its creation, the conference has pursued two different purposes: education and networking. For the education part, academic sessions, more focused presentations and specialised workshops are planned to offer a wide choice of themes and professional practices.

The second goal is to promote networking. Thanks to these exchanges, new ideas pop up. Professional relationships turn into friendship. It’s for this purpose that FERMA invites every participant to take the opportunities to meet their peers. Such moments abound: lunches, coffee breaks, welcome reception, FERMA Night and the Market Place. Naming the conference after the Roman public exchange place was obvious.
