09:00-09:45	Current embryo selection methods and limitations I. Agerholm, Denmark
09:45-10:30	What we have learned from time-lapse? The dynamics of embryo development! N. Ramsing, Denmark
10:30-11:00	Coffee Break
11:00-11:40	Instrumentation for time-lapse; incubators and image analysis systems N. Basile, Spain
11:40-12:40	Clinical Data; The role of morphokinetics for embryo selection and improving embryo selection M. Meseguer, Spain
	Aim of the theoretical session: To introduce the principles of embryo development and selection and the time-lapse as a tool for embryo selection; clinical data is provided to support its potential utility, subjects discussed:
▪	Embryo development
▪	Control of incubation environment
▪	Overview of time-lapse research
▪	Media change considerations
▪	Embryo selection
▪	Exact timing
12:40-13:00	Discussion
13:00-14:00	Lunch Break
14:00-18:00	HANDS-ON WORKSHOP: TIME-LAPSE FOR EMBRYO SELECTION
	The workshop is organized by the IVI group.   We are going to introduce the clinical use of time-lapse introducing Embryoscope technology in practice. We will exercise in the preparation of slides for embryo culture from the Embryoscope, loading and manipulation of embryos in the instrument. We will also practice using the viewer workstation to evaluate human embryo quality and selecting embryos for transfer based in the exact timings of embryo cleavage and development.
