One of the main symbols to identify Saint James’ pilgrims is in fact the Shell of St. James which appears in many representations of the material history of pilgrimage.
The logo of the 30th ISSR Conference abstractly joins two shells. The first one points to the different participants of the Conference, which come from all over the world. The Conference is the knot that joins the first to the second one, as a moment of reflection. It is precisely at that very moment that comes up the second shell with a dispersion and plurality movement to assume the current challenges the Conference works on.
