XIIIth International Symposium on Spermatology

This Symposium had 7 main themes with invited speakers, 17 free oral presentations and 44 poster presentations. Morning sessions were separated from afternoon sessions by a two-hour lunch break to inspire to spontaneous interaction between participants. The long, bright evenings of early May with a generous weather also contributed to the intended atmosphere of scientific and social interchange.
