There were also 73 conferences in 16 Interdivisional Symposia, and 5 Technical & Innovation Symposia. The themes of these lectures were defined over the last three years, with the participation of the scientific divisions of IUSS and SBCS, and were structured during InterCongress 2016 and in others meetings of the Organizing Committee and Scientific Committee.
