In the field of reproductive health, two needs are emerging that apparently conflict: research is providing continuous innovations in daily procedures, but the demand for infertility treatment is increasing all over the world. The key point of conflict between these two aspects is cost, because innovation demands investment, at least in its early phase, and the widening of ART to geographical areas with lower average incomes requires careful evaluation of the cost/benefit balance.

The aim of this conference, which follows the previous two successfully organized in 2003 and 2008 by Paolo Levi Setti and Serono Symposia International Foundation, is to provide participants with overviews of the most innovative procedures that will be introduced into ART in the near future, and with the background needed to offer the most up-to-date infertility treatment, according to different local conditions.

Andrea Borini will be the chairman of the session “Innovation in ART Laboratories” scheduled September 30th .
