ONGOING RESEARCH ON PHYSIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR IN HUMAN REPRODUCTION
The Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova has organised an international workshop
on results and future perspectives of research on physiology and behaviour in human reproduction. These
results and further researches are due also to the availability, at the Dept. of Statistical Sciences, of some rich
individual data bases, collected during the last years under the supervision of professor Bernardo Colombo.
Although the international workshop is restricted to few participants, it will be preceded by an Open Day,
dedicated to present for a wider audience a panorama of relevant themes, in a series of eight seminars. Each
seminar will include time for questions and answers, and discussion from the floor. These seminars will be an
occasion to discuss these intriguing topics with some top experts working in the field. A wide participation is
welcome.
