International Conference on Endometriosis Research

ICER 2026 – Shaping the Future of Endometriosis Research 

12–14 November 2026 | dbb forum Berlin, Friedrichstraße 169, 10117 Berlin, Germany

For the first time, the International Conference on Endometriosis Research (ICER 2026) is established as the only dedicated international conference exclusively focused on basic research in endometriosis. It brings together leading national and international experts to strengthen the bridge between fundamental science and clinical translation. Under the mission of fostering an independent, interdisciplinary, and international research community, we invite you to Berlin to discuss the latest advances in understanding this complex disease at its biological core.

High-level insights from international pioneers in basic and translational endometriosis research

• Thematic Research Sessions: 

In-depth presentations from leading research groups covering inflammation, pain mechanisms, neurobiology, fibrosis, and infertility

• “Ask the PIs” & Interactive Panels: 

Direct dialogue with principal investigators to discuss scientific challenges, methodologies, and future research directions

• Next Generation Science: 

Dedicated sessions for selected abstracts and poster prizes supporting early-career researchers

• Patient-Centered Perspective: 

A dedicated Patients’ Day (14 November) in collaboration with patient representatives, focusing on lived experience, unmet needs, and dialogue with scientists (“Meet Your Scientist”)

• Networking & Community: 

Welcome drinks on Thursday evening and a conference dinner on Friday, fostering exchange between researchers, clinicians, and patient communities across Europe

A Unique Scientific Platform

ICER 2026 is more than a conference; it is a unique, non-commercial scientific platform exclusively dedicated to basic research in endometriosis. By focusing on fundamental mechanisms and excluding commercial influence, ICER 2026 ensures scientific independence and fosters open, transparent exchange aimed at accelerating discoveries that ultimately improve patient care.

ICER 2026 is fully funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR, funding ID 01EJ2601), further ensuring its non-commercial character and scientific independence.

Registration is free of charge. Due to limited capacity, participation can only be confirmed after successful registration.

We look forward to welcoming you to Berlin for ICER 2026.
