MSRM President’s Welcome Letter

Dear friends, colleagues, and devoted members of the reproductive medicine community,

It’s a pleasure and sincere honor to serve as MSRM President for 2024–2026. Taking on this role in our dynamic Mediterranean region—where east meets west and tradition meets innovation—reminds me daily why our society matters so much. Our shared history is built on exchange, curiosity, and a spirited approach to both medicine and, let’s face it, a good discussion! As we have for many years, MSRM brings together passionate minds unified by the pursuit of excellence in reproductive science.

Across our society, cultures, and countries, differences are welcomed as strengths, nurturing a truly collaborative environment. Our annual meetings, regional events, and Special Interest Groups form the beating heart of MSRM, driving progress in clinical practice, research, and lifelong learning. These gatherings are more than academic—they are celebrations where ideas, stories, and enthusiasm flow freely (sometimes more freely than the conference coffee).

MSRM’s active collaborations with major organizations, including our partnership with ESHRE for the Pre-Congress Courses, continue to enrich our members’ experiences. These workshops and joint programs, built over years of effort, are cornerstones of our commitment to hands-on training, fostering international exchange and professional growth.

We continue to offer comprehensive educational programs, including the well-established Diploma in Clinical Assisted Reproduction, designed to advance skills and knowledge in ART. Additionally, we are exploring new formats and innovative resources to further support practitioners throughout their careers. Your ideas, expertise, and stories remain vital to our vibrant community, and we warmly encourage your active participation.

To all the dedicated contributors who make MSRM’s achievements possible—past and present leadership, and every member whose support and enthusiasm drive our mission—thank you for your commitment.

Together, we continue to bridge regions, spark discovery, and support one another in all facets of reproductive medicine. As always, in true Mediterranean fashion: united, we are stronger, braver, and never short of inspiration—or friendship.

With best wishes and my most sincere appreciation,

Prof. Dr. Erol Tavmergen
MSRM President, 2024–2026
