The International Legume Conference (ILC) covers studies in different areas such as taxonomy, classification, phylogeny, evolution, morphology, biological nitrogen fixation, genomics, among others. The event takes place without defined periodicity, but in recent editions it has been held every four years. In the last three editions, the ILC has consolidated itself as an international event with significant participation of researchers from representatives from different countries and continents, with an average of 150 participants, including a considerable proportion of students.
