The germline provides an eternal cellular link between generations and is the source of genetic diversity and evolution of animal populations. In addition, perturbations in the epigenome or genome of a parental germline that arise during development could be underlying causes of many disease states in offspring. In males, sperm are the conduit for transmission of genetic and epigenetic information to the next generation and are formed by the complex process of spermatogenesis, which involves undifferentiated stem cell, differentiating, meiotic, and morphogenesis phases. This workshop will explore recent advances in understanding the biology of these different phases in a variety of animal models as well as how epigenetic and genetic abnormalities may underlie transmission of diseases and fertility disorder in humans. Invited talks that focus on cutting edge findings along with vibrant discussions and debates about controversies in the field will provide a rich intellectual atmosphere that is sure to have an important impact on how the biology of spermatogenesis is investigated for years to come.
Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying ‘single’ or ‘shared’ registrants can bring a student for only €882. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 08, 09, 10 October 2023 (on a shared basis for students) and a food and beverage package for the conference period. Once registered, please contact Amy Johnson to obtain a special registration link for your student.

The target audience will be scientists working on the field of male reproduction, especially on germ cells.
It must "regroup" people working on stem cell biology, genetics (meiosis), epigenetic processes, aspects of transgenerational transmission of diseases; cancer and scientists working on environmental diseases.
We would like to have recognized scientists and new researchers in the field to refresh the community.
We would like clinicians, basic scientists and people involved in the evolution of technologies.
One objective will also be to attract doctoral and post-doctoral students.

Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
We are excited to be adding a beautiful Adriatic destination to our portfolio for autumn 2023 – the Sun Gardens Dubrovnik in Croatia. The resort is nestled into the hillside with uninterrupted, stunning views of the ocean.
This beautiful hotel is located only 11 km from Dubrovnik city centre, in the small village of Orašac, nestled amongst the citrus groves, palm trees and gorgeous blue sea that characterize the city. The Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with magnificent defensive walls surrounding it, is just one of the wonderful places to visit. With stunning architecture, scenic walks, wine tasting, boat trips and beautiful beaches, there is plenty to inspire when exploring beyond the hotel. We truly believe Croatia will become a firm favourite with our delegates.
The hotel boasts several wonderful dining options with a mix of Dalmatian, Mediterranean, international and fusion culinary experiences. Or you may want to take in the stunning views of the sea and the nearby islands as you unwind, relax and catch up on the day’s events in one of the hotels bars. Pools, a promenade, spa, sports centre and beaches are just a few of the other facilities you will find available during your stay.
This is not an all-inclusive property, but we have arranged a full food and beverage package for delegates during the conference period which is included within the registration fee. Breakfast will be at leisure each morning, but participants will dine together for conference lunches and dinners. For anyone staying any extra nights, the rate will be bed and breakfast only so delegates can choose whether to dine at the hotel or explore and eat elsewhere.
Hotel facilities include;
• Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and throughout hotel and
conference areas
• 3 Pools
• Spa
• Gym & Sports Center
• 8 Restaurants
• 9 Bars
• Kids Club
• Beach
