Other Support
The Centre for Trophoblast Research is grateful to the Company of Biologists for supporting us in uniting trophoblast research with hybrid conference technology through their Scientific Meeting and Sustainable Conferencing funds.
By convening our online and in-person audiences, we aim to invite global perspectives and participation while minimising the environmental footprint of our meetings. Climate change is an urgent global crisis with dramatic consequences for health and reproduction. Simple software solutions that enable remote participation will enable the global reproductive biology research community to make sustainability central to our work.
