International Committee of Symposia on Morphological Sciences (ICSMS) is a permanent body, responsible for the organization of the official International Symposia on Morphological Sciences (ISMS). ICSMS organizes international symposia periodically with the aim to promote worldwide diffusion of morphological sciences and to update the scientific knowledge and research in all sectors of application of morphology and anatomical sciences. Since the first Symposium organized with the initiative of Professor Salvador Gómez-Álvarez, in Mexico City in 1971, already 23 symposia have been successfully organized in many countries, with the participation of thousands of morphologists from all parts of the world.
