What is the Symposium?

In 2002, the Foundation launched The Activated Egg symposium series. During this one-day event researchers studying eggs for reproduction or stem cell derivation share and discuss their research. With attendance limited to 100 the event provides a unique environment for investigators from academia, industry and infertility clinics to meet and form collaborations.
