The main aim of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) – the organising society - is to promote interest in infertility care and to aim for a holistic understanding of reproductive biology and medicine.

ESHRE collaborates world-wide and advocates universal improvements in scientific research, encourages and evaluates new developments in the field, and fosters harmonization in clinical practice. It also provides guidance to enhance effectiveness, safety and quality assurance in clinical and laboratory procedures, psychosocial care, and promotes ethical practice. ESHRE also fosters prevention of infertility and related educational programmes and promotes reproductive rights regardless of the individual’s background.

The aim of the “Best of ASRM & ESHRE” Meeting is to provide a forum for fertility experts to meet, exchange and discuss clinical and scientific aspects in reproductive medicine. Both Societies, ESHRE and ASRM, in good faith, assume that all participants will respect the non-political nature of the “The Best of ASRM & ESHRE” meeting.
