The symposium is led by the EU-funded Innovative Training Network "Innovation in modelling Placenta for Maternal and Fetal Health" (iPLACENTA) in collaboration with the Australian and New Zealand Placental Research Association (ANZPRA).
In addition to talks from guest speakers, its aim is to give early-career researchers an opportunity to showcase their work and allow discussions and networking with members of the two groups.
