The symposium is organized by a local committee at the Department of Phytosanitary Science and Technology (Entomology Section), Faculty of Agriculture, University of Catania (Italy) on behalf of the Italian National Academy of Entomology, the Italian Entomological Society and the Italian Association for Plant Protection.

The Symposium is organized into four sessions, which are:
Session 1: Aphid genomics, molecular genetics and evolution

Session 3: Aphid biology and ecology
