The Society for Reproduction and Fertility (SRF) was established to promote research in reproduction and to disseminate information to the public at large. The Society was formed in July 2001 through amalgamation of the Society for the Study of Fertility (SSF) and the Journals of Reproduction and Fertility Ltd (JRF). The SRF carries forward the long standing heritage of the SSF/JRF in being one of the principal scientific societies specialising in reproductive biology, both within the UK and internationally.
The Society's principal aim is to support research and teaching in all aspects of reproductive biology. This is accomplished through the following specific aims:
- To support research and teaching in all aspects of reproductive biology.
- Meetings: one substantial meeting per year. At present these will be a joint meeting in the UK with BFS, BAS every two years and in alternate years a joint meeting with our European partners from the Belgian, Dutch, French, German and Italian Societies.
- Workshops: sponsorship of workshops to discuss specific topics in detail
- Travel grants: to assist members to attend SRF meetings, and other meetings as appropriate.
- Summer studentships: to provide funds for undergraduate students to undertake a research project in reproductive biology.
- Postdoctoral fellowships: to reintroduce these as soon as financially viable.
- Travelling scientists: to provide funds for the travel and living expenses for a senior research scientist to give a series of lectures at different venues throughout the UK, and potentially expanding into Europe
- To provide members with an interactive website with links to disseminate information and discussions on topics of general and specific interest to members.
- Assess and initiate as appropriate any viable new initiatives that arise which will benefit the membership.
- To produce a monthly journal, or journals publishing top quality papers in reproductive biology.
- To publish proceedings of meetings or symposia as supplements.
The SRF is a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity.
