As a global scientific association with over 4,000 members, we are delighted to host the IPSA World Congress in Rome for the second time since 1958.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) has already been formed with the involvement of leading Italian scholars.

Rome, with a history spanning over two thousand years, is regarded as the world's first great modern metropolis. The city played a pivotal role in shaping the artistic and cultural heritage of Western civilization. UNESCO designated Rome's entire historic center as a World Heritage Site in 1980, celebrating iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, and many others.
