15th ICIRD 2025

15th ICIRD 2025 presents a stimulating and critically important scientific conference on reproduction and development of invertebrates during this 5-day conference and scientific networking event.

The overall theme for the 15th ICIRD in Washington, DC in 2025 is: “Reproductive Evolution and Diversity across the Invertebrate Metazoa”

Like past national and international ICIRD meetings, this Congress will cover topics ranging from basic cellular, molecular, anatomical, and ecological mechanisms of invertebrate reproduction and development to applied science topics on aquaculture, disease vectors, climate change, biodiversity, and esthetics. Investigations into the evolution of sexual and asexual reproduction, regeneration of invertebrate bodies, larval biology, and invertebrate stem cells as they relate to reproduction and development are also welcome. This meeting is deliberately diverse and taxonomically broad within the invertebrate Metazoa.
