The proposal to hold the next ISCAR Congress in Rome was accepted during the Congress in San Diego, U.S., 2008. This proposal was inspired by the desire to welcome, in our country, scholars who have shown interests in the cultural dimension of human experience in all domains. We would like this conference to be a scientific event focused on problems and modes concerning multi-cultural integration and the socialization process in different community practices.

ISCAR is a growing association, and we expect about one thousand participants in its triennial congress in Rome.
