A forum for clinicians and scientists to share research results and new developments

ESHRE invites you to attend its workshop on 'The search for excellence in IVF: a practical approach'. The workshop provides a forum for clinicians and scientists to share research results and discuss problems and new developments.

Here a few of the new research findings that fertility experts from in and outside of Europe will announce:

• Is there an external influence on sperm quality (medicine, fever, vitamin E)?
• New approaches for sperm selection
• Evaluation of embryo morphology
• Day 2-3 versus day 5 transfer: advantages and disadvantages
• Oocyte cryopreservation: slow cooling versus vitrification

Reproductive medicine is one of today's most exciting scientific and clinical areas. Every month brings announcements of research developments, medical 'firsts', new rulings by regulatory bodies, or ethical controversies - often sparking a heated debate among practitioners in the field themselves, as well as ethicists, legislators, the media and the public. ESHRE's activities provide the media with the opportunity to hear the latest research news and interview the experts. All sessions are open to the media.

ESHRE is pleased to offer access to this workshop to professionals in the field of reproductive medicine and science. Bona fide journalists in possession with a recognized press card or a commissioning letter on headed paper from the publication they are working for may register for free. Journalists are required to observe embargoes as indicated either by ESHRE staff or by the date/time of the presented session.
