If you have a question about this talk, please contact Cristiano Longarini.

As evidence continues to grow for the variability of the IMF , I will argue that the formulation proposed by the IGIMF theory offers the most promising and physically consistent framework. I will then discuss its implications for galaxy evolution, chemical evolution, and a broader cosmological context.
