Welcome to the webpage of CoNARTaS – the Committee of Nordic Assisted Reproductive Technology and Safety.
We are a group of researchers focusing on the health of children born after assisted reproductive technologies. We also study short- and long-term health after assisted reproduction and infertility among women and men in the Nordic countries.
On this webpage, you will find more information about our research collaboration.
