Gender & Intersectionality in Biomedical Research

📅 25 Feb | 14:00–16:00 EET | Online

Let’s reflect together on gender, translational research & inclusive knowledge production.

🌍 INCLUDE in action

On 11 Feb, VMU (LUMA project) organised the forum “Women’s Experiences and Perspectives in STEAM Sciences,” engaging researchers, students & the wider community.

INCLUDE was presented, inviting dialogue on gender equality & diversity.

💜🤝On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are pleased to amplify the work of our sister project SEE-ERA.

Together, across projects, we continue working to strengthen visibility, leadership, and structural transformation in European research.

🔬 On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we recognise women colleagues — in all their diversity — and the inner girls who believed in their potential and became role models for others.

Inclusive science is better science. 🌍
