Organizer Description: Join us for the International Dutch Embryo Model Meeting 2025 in Nijmegen, NL! This two-day event will feature experts presenting cutting-edge research on blastoids, gastruloids, and iPS-gametes, including their ethical implications and valorisation.

Over the past five years, major breakthroughs in embryo model systems have led to new insights into embryogenesis and clinical applications. To address the new scientific breakthroughs, and additionally the ethical dilemmas and societal challenges that these models raise, we are organising the International Dutch Embryo Model Meeting 2025 on 27 and 28 March 2025 in Nijmegen. The organisation, headed by Hendrik Marks, takes place in collaboration with three Dutch NWO PSIDER consortia (iPS-gametes, blastoids and gastruloids), the NWO XL consortium gastruloids and the ZonMW consortium blastoids.
