Gender in Research Fellowship 2023

To realize quality health care, a sex and gender dimension needs to be integrated in all aspects of health research and clinical practice. In the second week of the Erasmus Summer Programme (ESP), ESP and ZonMw offer a joint programme to further knowledge and skills in gender, health and research through the Gender and Health course (course code ESP78) and Gender in Research workshops (course code ESP79).

ZonMw Gender and Health will provide Gender in Research Fellowships for (inter)national PhD-students and post-doctoral researchers to attend the Gender and Health course and participate in the Gender in Research workshops at the Erasmus Summer Programme from 14-18 August.
