The Mediterranean Society for Reproductive Medicine is a scientific society working in the field of Human Reproduction, and mainly devoted to education.The Society is dedicated to the study of all aspects of Reproductive Medicine including the promotion of science and research in all aspects of human reproduction, the understanding of evidence-based practice between clinicians and the enhancement of communication between scientists interested in these subjects.
The COGI Congress was established to enable physicians to meet with outstanding experts in all Ob/Gyn fields, and be updated on the most pressing clinical questions and controversies in the field today. The goal of the COGI Congress is to reach actual and agreed-upon answers to some of these controversies, through evidence-based medicine.

International and local experts will share and compare experiences in stimulating and interactive debates. Allowing ample time for speaker-audience discussion, the Congress aims at reaching up-to-date and agreed-upon answers to ongoing debates even when proof is lacking, through evidence-based medicine and expert opinion.
