The International Convention Centre in Sydney, a spectacular venue for our annual conference
As reported in this edition, registrations have been flooding in and I look forward to seeing so many of our members in Sydney for a great scientific program and social agenda, including the conference dinner and entertainment.
Lock in these dates
Our Society has set dates and locations for the next three annual conferences.
FSANZ 2023 will be at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, Queensland from 3 to 7 July. In 2024, we will be at the Crown Perth, WA from 14 to 18 September, and FSANZ 2025 will be at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 6 to 10 September.
Locking in these details gives members plenty of time to make arrangements, which we feel will maximise attendance.
Research grants
In the past couple of years, FSANZ has been working with the pharmaceutical industry to help support research efforts to advance our knowledge and help the one in six Australian couples living with infertility.
We have made great headway in this process with the valued support of pharmaceutical companies, and I am pleased to report that significant funds have been secured from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Merck and Organon for the annual presentation of researchgrants.
Great headway in securing pharmaceutical industry support for research grants that will be dispersed by our Society
Importantly, the grants will be determined and dispersed by our Society. Announcements will be made during the upcoming FSANZ conference.
More information will appear soon on the FSA website and in our newsletter.
