Gendered Innovation Alliance

The Gendered Innovation Alliance (GINA) is a platform for training, knowledge and experience exchange. Our aim is successful execution for inclusion of concepts of sex, gender and diversity as biological and social variables in biomedical research and education to maximize individualized/personalized patient care and endorse the development of gendered innovations. We participate in ACT on Gender - a new Horizon 2020 EU project on gender equality & gender dimension in research.
