What makes Milano a magnet for global scientific events?
Prof. Paolo Landini (UniMi) talks about Milano's role as a leading life sciences hub. Recently Landini played a key role in securing FEMS MICRO 2025 with 2.000 delegates, a world-class concentration of research and talents, and Milano as the city that represents, as prof. Landini says, "the land of opportunity". He also highlights that Milano is a place where "things get done" thanks to a unique synergy between academia and the city's ecosystem. A strategic gateway for European science and innovation.
Why does Milano continue to be a top choice for major international scientific congresses?
For Professor Chiara Bonini Full Professor at Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele and official Milano Ambassador, it is the city’s unique ability to blend the "flavors of Italy" with a forward-thinking European vision. Thanks to her support, Milano hosted the European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting in 2025, welcoming over 18,000 experts from around the globe.
Prof.ssa Bonini strongly affirms that "Milano is not an easy town; you need to grab it. But if you do, if you’re ready to work hard and to dare, it offers opportunities for whatever career you choose to pursue." which is why she became one of the city's 2025 ambassadors and at YesMilano Business and Convention Bureau, we are proud to support ambassadors who bring such high-caliber innovation to our city.
