EDITORIAL
Cutting edge science…
Beyond the recent developments of reproductive physiology studies and biotechnologies in farmed and
wild species, this edition of ICAR will bring up several emerging topics and concepts, including predictive
biology, epigenetic regulations, developmental origin of adult health and new insights in neuroendocrinology.
Gathering outstanding speakers in the different fields of reproduction research, from basic knowledge
acquisition to field application, this conference will provide high quality scientific contents to any attendee.
… In the garden of France
Located in the centre of France, the Loire Valley is a road to history. The majestic Loire river flows peacefully
in a bucolic environment punctuated by precious traces of the past. Amongst them, the castles from the
Renaissance period (Chambord, Chenonceau,…) became the obvious symbol of this region. Architectural
treasures legated from the past, they also bear the history of France and its Kings. Region of traditions, the
Loire Valley is a conservatory of French way of life with delicate and tasteful gastronomy and worldwide
known wines. All these treasures will be at easy reach to the ICAR participants during the meeting itself and
during post conference tours.

PRIZE AND AWARDS
Simmet prize
The Simmet Prize is sponsored by Minitube International and administered by the International Congress on
Animal Reproduction (ICAR).
The award, established as a memorial to the accomplishments of Dr. Ludwig Simmet, recognizes an active
research scientist for outstanding basic and applied research published during the previous six years in the
area of assisted reproduction of animals. Scientists at all phases of their career (early, mid- and late) are
considered.
The Simmet Prize, which is presented every four years at ICAR, includes an award of 50,000 euros.
The Awards Committee consider the significance of research areas under investigation, the breadth and depth
of the research platform, the degree of originality of the research as documented in the
publications, and potential impact of the research contributions on animal reproduction.
Professor Katrin Hinrichs, of Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, is the recipient
of the 2016 Simmet Prize for Assisted Reproduction. The prize, which is the most
prestigious award in animal reproduction and one of the largest of its kind, was awarded
based on the pioneering efforts of Dr. Hinrichs to elucidate the fundamental biology of
gametes and embryos in the horse and to develop laboratory techniques that have made
assisted reproduction technologies in the horse a practical reality. The clinical program
in equine assisted reproduction she founded in 2009 in collaboration with the Section
of Theriogenology at Texas A&M is now one of the largest in the world and has performed over 450 embryo
production procedures in 2015 alone.
Dr. Hinrichs holds the Patsy Link Chair in Mare Reproductive Studies and has joint appointments in the
Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology and the Department of Large Animal Clinical
Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A & M.
She and her colleagues have been instrumental in the development of assisted reproductive techniques
in the horse. Areas in which Dr. Hinrichs and colleagues have made instrumental advances include in vitro
maturation of eggs, fertilization by intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo culture, cloning, cryopreservation
of embryos and the use of embryonic biopsy to enable pre-implantation genetic screening.
Travel grants
Over 40 applications were received for the Travel Grant. We thank each and every one of our applicants.
The Awards Committee had a very difficult task of selecting the 13 award recipients out of such a large pool
of worthy applicants. Congratulations to the award recipients:

Student competition
Five finalists have been selected by the jury amongst 104 applications. They will give a short presentation
of their work during a plenary session, and will be ranked by the jury on the basis of abstract, poster and oral
presentation. Each of these five finalists will receive a prize and a diploma at the closing ceremony.
The jury is composed of five outstanding scientists: Philippe Chemineau (President), Simon de Graaf, Peter
Hansen, Patrick Lonergan, and Ann Van Soom.

You will enjoy a dinner cocktail in an ancient cellar under the rocks.
Buses will leave Le Vinci in order to transport you directly there (departure: 6.30 pm and 6.45 pm).
Buses will leave then to go back to Le Vinci (departure: 11.00 pm and 11.15 pm).

Gala dinner
Wednesday June 29th
8.00 pm to 0.00 am
Location: La Grange de Meslay - Rue de Meslay, 37210 Parçay-Meslay
Dress code: Smart Business/Cocktail
Join us in the most ancient fortified farms of the XIIIth century, with its outbuildings,
in the center of which stands the Grange de Meslay, a medieval barn of 1.500m.
The Grange de Meslay is an important agricultural domain of the Abbey of Marmoutier (9th-18th centuries). It
is undoubtedly the most remarkable example remaining in France and even in Europe of monastic buildings
constructed for agricultural use. Accompanied by other buildings, it was originally situated in a vast enclosure
of almost two hectares, surrounded by walls, whose vestiges clearly show their original outline.
You will enjoy your last night in Tours in this beautiful place and you will have a taste of French gastronomy.
Buses will leave Le Vinci in order to transport you directly there (departure: rotation between 7.00 pm and
7.45 pm).
Buses will leave then to go back to Le Vinci (departure: rotation between 0.00 am and 0.45 am).
Tickets must have been purchased at Registration (no tickets for sale on-site).

Providing new insights into the developmental
mechanisms involved in the evolution of external
genitals, the articles in this special issue provide a
comparative analysis across terrestrial vertebrates.
The evolutionary transition from external to internal
fertilization in vertebrates was facilitated by the
emergence of novel organs, the external genitals.
Reptiles as well as birds exhibit remarkable phenotypic diversity, ranging from the paired hemipenises
of snakes and lizards, to the elaborate corkscrew penises of waterfowl, and to the complete absence of
an intromittent penis in most birds.
This special topic issue presents new studies on the
external genital development in birds, lizards, snakes,
alligators, and turtles. The articles discuss new insights into the evolutionary developmental biology
(‘evo-devo’) of external genitals and provide explanations for the evolution of human congenital malformations, such as hypospadias.
Offering novel perspectives on the evolution of reproductive organs, Evolution of External Genital Development will be of special interest to developmental
and reproductive biologists as well as comparative
and evolutionary morphologists.
