We invite all IVF experts and other researchers interested in fertility research to register to our one-day event on IVF research. This is the 2nd meeting of the GW4 network Fertility: In Vitro, in Silico, In Clinico  (inFer) and will bring together:

​

• Mathematical modellers, data analysis and AI researchers

• Experimentalists

• Clinicians

• Industrialists

• Policymakers

 

Our aim is to improve the success rates of IVF through interdisciplinary research and academia-clinic collaborations. At our successful launch event at Cardiff University in September, researchers from maths and other disciplines worked together with clinics to identify key IVF challenges. We also searched for people with the skills to tackle these challenges. Since then, we worked collaboratively with our Advisory Board, comprising leading experts in the IVF field, to refine these challenges and identify new ones. This second networking event will be even more interactive. It will include a “speed dating” session where everyone can meet other participants and share their expertise as well as a co-creation workshop to identify next steps and discuss research funding opportunities. This event is in-person due to its interactive nature, but arrangements can be made for those only able to join online - please contact us if you would like to join online.

The full programme is found below.

​

We have some funds for accommodation and travel. If you would like to be considered for reimbursement, please indicate this on the registration form. If the demand exceeds our funds, we will prioritise early-career researchers.

​

Also, do consider joining our online Hackathon (12-18 February), in which teams can compete on solving open IVF data challenges and win cash prizes!
