Education, education, education —now more than ever?

AbstractThe generation of scientists and physicians that took part in starting the whole era of modern-assisted reproduction is currently close to retirement or has already left research. A new generation is about to take over and the profession is facing a massive transgenerational transition. Since current treatments have reached a plateau in success rates and costs, new research and development is required to further advance the field. Today, multi-disciplinary platforms including numerous research areas, not previously integrated in our field, are fundamental to achieve new clinical approaches. Structured, broader and purposeful education of young researchers should be intensified and prioritized, and innovative educational initiatives are needed to facilitate 'thinkers' and advance developments in the field of assisted reproduction.
