abstract: 'Accumulating evidence suggests that parental health, even before

  conception, may affect offspring development. Stressful environments

  during critical periods of growth and development that include

  preconception, pregnancy, and early childhood could cause long-term

  effects that may impact offspring''s health. These environmental factors

  may include maternal and paternal metabolic and endocrine health,

  exposure to endocrine disruptors, pollutants, environmental stressors

  and chemicals, and also the use of assisted reproductive techniques

  (ARTs), among others.

  Periconceptional and prenatal care are crucial to improving infants''

  development and health and preventing adult diseases, such as diabetes,

  neurocognitive, and other multifactorial and complex disorders.

  Although increasing attention has been given to prenatal care management

  in the last years, there are still disparities among nations in terms of

  access to healthcare and also controversial results in many aspects, and

  unresolved issues. In this regard, the COVID-19 pandemic has raised new

  questions regarding reproduction, pregnancy and childhood development

  care.

  In particular, in Latin America, socioeconomic inequalities in primary

  health system access make these societies vulnerable in terms of

  gestational care. Moreover, although antenatal care is more accessible

  in developed countries, there is still a need to comprehend the impact

  of different environmental cues on human health and development and

  improve the possible medical interventions and public policy management.

  To address the above-mentioned topics, the International Symposium on

  Reproductive Health 2021 (ISRH2021) was proposed by a group of

  early-career scientists from Argentina, as a free one-day symposium with

  different roundtable sessions, including:

  -Maternal-fetal interface -Maternal effects on pregnancy and offspring

  health

  -ARTs effects on embryo and offspring development

  -Paternal effects on fertility and offspring health

  The virtual format provided a networking space between Early-Career and

  experienced researchers from home, anywhere in the world. This not only

  allowed to join experts from Latin-American and developed countries but

  also allowed a wider global audience to attend, including those who may

  not be able to travel for a face-to-face meeting. The economic barrier

  is a common problem in Latin America and developing countries as the low

  incomes affect the possibility of attending international meetings.

  Moreover, as ECRs are the academic members with lower salaries, they are

  usually the most affected. The spirit of this symposium was to create

  possibilities for worldwide participation at all career stages.

  During the ISRH2021, each session consisted of two Senior talks of

  invited international researchers and two short talks of early-career

  researchers (ECRs), which were selected based on their abstract quality.

  Also, a poster session was held.

  To generate different opportunities for interaction between Senior and

  ECRs, several short talks were also held, followed by a debate. Among

  the topics discussed were ``Women in Science and Gender Discrepancy{''''},

  ``From basic research to public policies{''''}, ``ECRs Resources{''''} and

  ``Career Paths{''''}.

  Listed below we present the abstract of the works presented at the ISRH

  2021 meeting.'
