International Symposium on Equine Embryo Transfer and Technology

The International Symposium on Equine Embryo Transfer and Technology (ISEET) is a premier global conference dedicated to advancing the science and practice of equine reproduction, with a strong emphasis on embryo transfer and assisted reproductive technologies.

ISEET History

The International Symposium on Equine Embryo Transfer and Technology has convened every four years since its inaugural meeting at Cornell University in 1984, a time when equine embryo technology was just emerging. Supported in the past by the Dorothy Russell Havemeyer Foundation, ISEET provides a vital venue for scientists and veterinarians to exchange knowledge, present research, and explore advances in equine reproductive technologies.

Proceedings from ISEET can be found in the Equine Veterinary Journal and the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science.
