The Scientific Contest held for the second time this year has allowed 100 excellent young scientist of under 34 years to be supported by the Society to join us in Florence, by providing free registration and accomodation. The contest has been extremely tight, and although the scientific committee could select only 100 winners, the scientific level was so high that ISGE decided to support anyway those who did not get through, by providing a reduced registration rate to the congress. This is the first of a series of moves to help the young and the brightest to contribute to.
