Abstract
Modern science is developing at a rapid pace and today, especially during the epidemic situation, scientific events are in demand, which allow us to consider topical issues that interest participants from different areas, individual ways to solve the same problem, listen to lectures by invited experts, and establish valuable contacts. On May 27-31, 2021 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on the premises of the al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Higher School of Medicine, the Department of Fundamental Medicine, and the Eurasian Association of Morphologists held the XXVII International Symposium of Morphological Sciences ISMS 2021. This Morphological Congress was held, the first time, in 1971, in Mexico City, with the subsequent editions organized every two years in Argentina, Israel, the USA, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Japan and many other countries (https://www.symposiamorphologica.com/) The decision to hold the Symposium in 2020 in Kazakhstan was made at the meeting of the International Committee of Symposia on Morphological Sciences (ICSMS) on June 5, 2018 in Prague (Czech Republic) as a part of the XXVI International Symposium of Morphological Sciences. The advantage of votes over other candidate countries (South Africa, Argentina) allowed Kazakhstan to take a huge responsibility for holding this Forum.
