Gendered innovation alliance - Gender dimension for better Health

A recent KTH master's thesis, by Anubhuti Gupta, captures how biases exist and affect both the actors’ (patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) behaviours and actions throughout the pain management journey thus leading to a down-streaming effect on the treatment delivered. Based on the findings, new concepts were designed. The thesis was supervised by Karolina Kublickiene.

An online panel discussion on the impact of gender on the journeys of women in science was held 10/2-22

Apart from Karolina Kublickiene (associate professor, founder of Gendered Innovation Alliance), the following other panelists were present: - Myriam Aouadi (group leader in the center for infectious medicine) - Silvia Maioli (assistant professor in the department of neurobiology, care sciences and society) - Miriam Martini (department of medical epidemiology and biostatistics)

The discussion was based on the documentary ‘Picture a Scientist’. 

Between 2018-2021 KI, CLINTEC, department of Renal Medicine and DevReg participated in ACT with the mission to enhance gender expertise and implementation of gender equality plans in European research and innovation. During these years, various resources were produced: explainer videos, a Co-creation Toolkit compiling participatory methods, ACTonBias training, the GEAM Tool and much more. Check out the highlights!

Check out KI Grants Office’s web pages providing information on funders’ requirements relating to the sex-and-gender dimension, as well as resources to help you address it.

ORWH and the Food and Drug Administration Office of Women’s Health developed a free online course that explores sex- and gender-related differences in key disciplines important to human health and disease. The modules in this course can be helpful to researchers, clinicians, and students when designing and conducting research and/or interpreting evidence for clinical practice. Register today!

Two years in the making, it is the result of the work of 24 experts. Read about 15 new case studies - on Chronic Pain, Facial Recognition, Smart Mobility, Marine Science, Virtual Assistants etc and revised methods. Sex, gender, and intersectional analysis enhances all phases of research.

The EU agency GenderNet recently decided on grants for 13 international collaborations. Five of these projects have partners at KI. Karolina Kublickiene at CLINTEC receives funding of SEK 3 081 420 as partner in the project "Gender Outcomes INternational Group: to Further Well-being Development (GOING-FWD)". Building the gender equality community includes focusing on the gender dimension in research.
