European Placenta Group
European Placenta Group
The European Placenta Group is an association of European researchers and clinicians brought together by their shared interests in understanding physiological as well as pathophysiological mechanisms involved in placenta formation and function in mammalian species.
As a regional affiliate of the International Federation of Placenta Associations (IFPA), EPG fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and scientific exchange across Europe.
Through annual meetings and collaborative initiatives, the group provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and supports early-career researchers in the field. With members from across the continent, EPG plays a vital role in driving innovation and understanding in placental biology.
Who we are
The European Placenta Group (EPG) is dedicated to promoting both basic and applied research on placental physiology, pathology, therapeutics, and biotechnology in humans and animals across Europe.
To achieve this, the EPG:
- Aims to foster and support placental research particularly within European countries, while also establishing and enhancing relationships with regional, national, and international societies interested in all fields of placental research.
- Organizes workshops and conferences in Europe to present and discuss scientific findings in placental research.
- Responsible for arranging meetings of the International Federation of Placenta Associations (IFPA) in Europe every three years.
