Dear Participants,
On behalf of the Egon and Ann Diczfalusy Foundation I am delighted to invite you to Timisoara to the 17th Diczfalusy Award Lecture (DAL17) Conference.
This scientific event was founded by late Professor Egon Diczfalusy nearly two decades ago to bring together scientists, students and researchers from the Central European region to meet, share knowledge and discuss current issues of reproductive health.
This year’s event will take place in Timisoara (Romania) between 12-15 November 2025, and will follow in time the proceedings of the 4th National Congress of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Gynecology organised at the same place.
Together with the co-organisers, "Victor Babeş" University of Medicine and Pharmacy from Timisoara, Romanian Society of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Gynecology, University of Szeged, University of Novi Sad, and Emergency County Clinical Hospital "Pius Brînzeu" Timisoara, Romania, we are honoured to invite you to the scientific event.
The organizers, together with an international scientific program committee, create a program that represents cutting-edge research and supports its implementation into clinical practice. Well recognised international experts will share their knowledge, so participants will have the opportunity to hear the latest news in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
The main topics of the events will be:
• Minimally invasive therapies in obstetrics and gynecology
• Pregnancy and placenta pathology
• Human assisted reproduction - from research to medical practice
• Reproductive health and menopause, sexuality and gender violence
• Fibroids, Adenomiosis, and Endometriosis: challenges to female reproductive health
• Prevention and treatment of gynecological oncological cases
• Challenges related to the effects of environmental damage: aflatoxin, mycotoxin, climate changes, problems caused by microplastics, hormone pollution in waters.
• Using AI technology to improve women's health
The event will begin with a one-day pre-congress course on laparoscopic surgery in gynecology and will continue with 3 days of oral and poster presentations that will help us to understand and acquire up-to-date information.
We look forward to seeing you in Timisoara!
