COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is an intergovernmental organization established to fund research networks known as “COST Actions” across the sciences. COST enables break-through scientific developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contributes to strengthen Europe’s research and innovation capacities. The Action BM1105 investigated the neuroendocrine mechanisms that are integrated at the hypothalamic level and regulate the complex organ network controlling reproduction. Through the development of a networking platform, the Action advanced the field of neuroendocrinology via: guidelines for the best clinical care of GnRH deficient patients, translating scientific understanding into improved patient care and creating a lasting European tradition of excellence in the field of reproductive medicine.

Keywords: COST Action BM 1105, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
