ICER 2026 – International Conference on Endometriosis Research
Preliminary Scientific Program
The ICER 2026 meeting brings together national and international experts in endometriosis research, covering the full spectrum from basic mechanisms to clinical application and patient-centered perspectives. The program is structured along key biological and clinical domains, with a strong emphasis on translational research, interdisciplinary exchange, and international collaboration.
The conference is organized into thematic sessions representing the funded research consortia, complemented by keynote lectures, international perspectives, and interactive discussion formats.
