Do you want to connect with others who are interested in doing research about women’s health? Are you curious about the new insights and opportunities shaping this field? Let’s put women’s health in the spotlight, share knowledge, and create the projects of tomorrow.
We warmly invite you to join us for a one-day academic networking event dedicated to Women’s Health. The day will bring together researchers to exchange insights, build collaborations, and explore new perspectives on health and wellbeing across the female lifespan.
The program features an inspiring keynote and research snapshots, but the core of this event are the interactive roundtable discussions designed to generate fresh ideas for research collaboration and new partnerships. Topics will range from healthy aging, nutrition, and menopause to global health challenges, cultural perspectives, and the promise of new diagnostics. We also invite our participants to share their ideas on the topics they would like to discuss about.
Research funding specialists will also be on-site to provide guidance on funding opportunities for the innovative projects that arise during the day. The event is open for everyone and free of charge, and the event language is English.
