Communication activities
We are currently working on the European Policy Audit on Fertility (EPAF). The EPAF is a joint project of Fertility Europe and European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) conducted under unrestricted grant of Merck. The document covers the general information on situation in Europe with a detailed coverage of 9 countries: Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Data gathering was based on desk research and interviews with FE members whenever applicable and ESHRE representatives. The EPAF will make a comprehensive source of information and a great advocacy tool. It is also one of the most extensive project FE has taken part in so far.
The Policy Audit will be launched in the European Parliament in Brussels on the 28th of March 2017.Other activities
