International Society for
In Vitro Fertilization

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great pleasure to announce the establishment of the International Society for In Vitro Fertilization (ISIVF) as a recognized scientific society.

Since the birth of the world's first successful "test-tube" baby in Great Britain, many advances were achieved in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology. The need for a forum bringing together clinicians, scientists, and embryologists became inevitable and the World Congress on In Vitro Fertilization was created.

For the past 25 years, this Congress has become a major event in the calendar of physicians and scientists in the field of reproductive health. It is our aim to continue with organizing this Congress and we are pleased to announce that the 14th World Congress on IVF will be jointly held with the 3rd World Congress on IVM, in Montreal, Canada, from September 15 to 19, 2007.

On this website, we have tried to provide you with all the information pertaining to the Society and we plan to start an online forum in the near future that we believe will be an extension to the World Congress on IVF in the pursuit of exchange and discussion of research, data, and knowledge pertaining to IVF.

I am calling upon you today to join the International Society for In Vitro Fertilization. The benefits to our members will be numerous. But we also trust that your membership will benefit the IVF community, whether from your contributions to the various forums, or from the networking opportunities that you will provide or capitalize on.

Takahide Mori
President, International Society for In Vitro Fertilization
