28 May 2026. Community of Practice on Gender Medicine and Health

First peer-to-peer exchange organised by the Community of Practice (CoP)

The CoP Gender Medicine and Health is open to researchers, healthcare professionals, representatives from educational institutions and professional associations, patients and decision-makers who are interested in the impact of sex and gender on health and wish to contribute to the development of concrete solutions. 

Participants will work together on four key questions that were jointly identified by the NRP 83 research teams during the kick-off event in October 2025:

1. “How can intersectionality be systematically integrated into qualitative research designs – from recruitment through to analysis and interpretation?” (Intersectionality Working Group)
2. “How can gender-sensitive content be integrated into educational frameworks for health and medicine and implemented within the federal education system?” (Education Working Group)
3. “How can language and culture sensitive guidelines on gender and diversity be developed for multilingual Switzerland?” (Language Working Group)
4. “How can key stakeholders who have so far been less aware of gender issues in medicine and public health be reached and engaged?” (Engagement Working Group)

Date: Thursday 28 May 2026, from 1.30 pm to 5.00 pm

Place: ONLINE

Language will be determined by the respective working group.
