Five years of SETI at the INCOSMICON Research Center

In 2020 at the Italian University of Insubria we created an international research center called INCOSMICON (Intelligence in the Cosmic Context), which, among its research areas, includes also SETI, with a special focus on SETI & Society. In its first 5 years of activity (2 of which during the Covid pandemic), at present INCOSMICON has 58 members from 9 different countries. The INCOSMICON members have presented about 20 SETI papers written by more than 50 co-authors to the 2020-2024 editions of the IAC. Furthermore, on 18 and 19 December 2023, INCOSMICON organized in Paris a Workshop on Interstellar Messages Construction, hosted by the prestigious École Normale Superiéure, which should be the beginning of a systematical work about this topic. The second meeting of the series was held in Varese on 12-13 October 2024, just before the IAC Milano 2024. We are also creating a selected online library about the typical topics of SETI & Society, especially about Interstellar Messages. An interactive page on the INCOSMICON website should (hopefully) allow wider discussion with the other SETI scholars and any interested people. Also, INCOSMICON is about to publish a first series of articles about the languages of the Amazonian University UCSS-Nopoki of Atalaya (Peru), which could provide interesting insights about Interstellar Messages Construction. Finally, INCOSMICON is about to make its position at the University of Insubria stronger and to get more support and more funds from that University. So, future should be very exciting.
