The France 2030 Research Program “Women’s and Couples’ Health” is organizing its first scientific symposium. This 2025 edition will take place on Monday November 24 and Tuesday November 25, 2025, at the Buffon amphitheater (Université Paris Cité), Paris 13th.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together the program’s players and the French research communities involved in infertility and endometriosis: fundamental, clinical, epidemiology, public health and human and social sciences. The event also aims to foster dialogue and strengthen links with patient associations, industry and the general public.
On the program: speeches by renowned researchers, presentations and round-table discussions on the programs of multidisciplinary research consortiums on infertility and endometriosis, as well as the EPI-ENDO project on the epidemiology of endometriosis in France, and funded thesis and post-doctoral projects.
Registration is free but mandatory. It gives access to all discussions and catering services for the duration of the symposium.
The symposium will be in English, with the exception of the general public session, which will be in French.
