Dear friends and colleagues,

Fertility is facing a global challenge. As birth rates decline and female infertility becomes increasingly common, the demand for effective, personalized reproductive care has never been greater.

Today, motherhood is often postponed, placing greater pressure on assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
But ART alone cannot carry the future of fertility. We must shift our focus toward empowering couples by maximizing their reproductive potential through a broader, smarter strategy – one that includes fertility awareness, preservation and enhancement.

To truly address these evolving needs, reproductive specialists must adopt a multidisciplinary approach – combining expertise in hysteroscopy, ultrasonography, reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). A holistic, evidence-based evaluation of female fertility, including the impact of uterine and ovarian aging, is essential. Only by working together across specialties can we uncover, understand and address the full spectrum of reproductive challenges.

With this vision, a group of leading international experts came together in Rome in April 2024. What began as a round table discussion has now evolved into a permanent forum – HARTUS – a new initiative dedicated to transforming fertility care through innovation, collaboration and excellence.

Join us as we take the next step. Be part of the future. Be part of HARTUS 2026.
