Abstract

Abstract: In 2024, the Brazilian College of Animal Reproduction (CBRA in Portuguese) is proudly celebrating its golden 50th anniversary. Founded in 1974, CBRA has had a very productive and challenging journey of five decades, achieving many important milestones that have established it as a major society and its journal as a major reference in the field of animal reproduction, both in Brazil and internationally. Coincidentally, the Animal Reproduction journal and the International Symposium on Animal Biology (ISABR), both created and sponsored by CBRA, are also celebrating their 20th and 10th anniversary and edition, respectively, this year. These remarkable events are being celebrated in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, during the 10th edition of ISABR. As someone who had the privilege of playing a leading role in the creation and establishment of both Animal Reproduction journal and ISABR, I am honored to describe here the favorable circumstances that led to these significant achievements. The crucial steps and combined efforts required to make these institutions successful were unconditionally supported by the CBRA. Additionally, significant global networking and scientific collaborations, both individual and collective, have been pivotal in advancing the science and connecting the scientific community, spanning both young and experienced members, for decades. Finally, I hope that this historical article will inspire future generations of scientists in the field to continue CBRA’s journey and leadership, ensuring the growth of Animal Reproduction and ISABR advancement to even higher standards.
