About the conference

Confronting and comparing, not just gathering together.

Renaissance means stimulating new researchers, as in the artisan’s workshop, the great master cultivated his/her students, some of whom would later surpass him/her.

Inspired by the Renaissance — a period marked by artistic, intellectual, and cultural rebirth — this conference seeks to bring these principles into a modern context, focusing on women's health. It will explore the three key phases of a woman's life: reproduction, pregnancy, and aging.

Renaissance means stimulating new researchers, as in the artisan's workshop, the great master cultivated his/her students, some of whom would later surpass him/her. Thus, putting aside the ego of the senior expert, we will have to favor the new generations and the new ways of "narrating" health, treatments and the use of technologies. We should be accompanied by Artificial Intelligence, by the need for simulation and by the advances in information technology.

The scientific program of the Renaissance Conference on The Three Ages of the Woman is divided into three parts: Fertility, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and Post-Reproductive Medicine, featuring a blend of the most seasoned experts in the field alongside speakers from the new generation.

With this spirit we are re-proposing a new concept of conference that, from the etymology, does not only mean "gathering together" but, above all, "confronting and comparing". Meet with leading experts in reproduction, maternal-fetal, and post-reproductive medicine!
