TEHRAN – The third international West Asia and North Africa (WANA 2024) Congress will be held in the city of Urmia, northwestern West Azarbaijan province, from May 16 to 17.

The scientific congress will lay the ground for joint scientific research focusing on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) outcomes and the latest scientific achievements in ART, ISNA reported.

Monitoring the children born as a result of infertility treatment, ethical and legal issues, the role of imaging, the impact of environmental factors and lifestyle, enhancing the outcome of assisted infertility: challenges, managements and options, preserving fertility in patients suffering from cancer, and the role of surgery in improving assisted reproductive outcome technology are the main themes of the congress.

The congress also focuses on maintaining a closer affinity with science communities and strengthening ties with trade and scientific advocates. It provides an opportunity for both foreign and domestic knowledge-based companies to showcase their recent achievements in infertility treatment.

Moreover, one of the important objectives of the third international congress is to establish the WANA Scientific Network.

The main objectives of establishing this scientific association include:
- Facilitating the exchange of scientific knowledge by building connections with research institutions, scientists, and centers in the WANA region globally.

- Identifying opportunities for collaboration within the region and expanding communication networks.

- Enhancing networking among knowledge-based companies in the WANA region to boost interactions and trade of scientific products.

- Offering a comprehensive range of knowledge-based services (total solution), such as training, expert consulting, and project implementation in biotechnology, to countries seeking assistance from knowledge-based companies.

Royan International Twin Congress

Reproductive Biomedicine and Stem Cells Biology and Technology has been demonstrated to be one of the most successful experiences of scientific gathering in Iran and West Asia since 2000.

During these twenty years of active involvement in sharing and exchanging scientific knowledge and expertise with renowned scientific institutes and scientists, the Royan Congress has helped to form many shared scientific projects and exchanges.

Given that the Royan Annual International Twin Congress has so far been able to establish a good platform for the exchange of the latest achievements in the fields of Stem Cell Biology & Technology and Reproductive Biomedicine worldwide, the WANA International Congress has come into existence.

WANA Scientific Society enjoys a chain of reputable scientists, researchers, and university professors as its international partners who play crucial roles in enriching the society in its content and toward seizing its goals already set.
