The World Congress of Reproductive Biology was established in 2008 to provide a forum for basic and clinical reproductive biologists from all around the globe to meet and exchange cutting edge ideas and research findings. The 2014 Congress is being organised by 6 international societies in partnership: the CSRB, KSAR, SRB, SRD and SSR (based in China, Korea, Australia, Japan and the USA, respectively), with the Society for Reproduction & Fertility (SRF) honoured to host WCRB 2014 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
