WOMEN IN SCIENCE: BREAKING FRONTIERS – a data perspective

Addressing the gender data gap in biomedical research and understanding gender data to inform policy choices is essential for ensuring better health outcomes for all patients. Big-data and AI-driven solutions can play a pivotal role in this by addressing biases, improving diagnostics, and enabling personalized medicine, leading to a more inclusive healthcare system.

To mark next year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Diplomatic Missions of Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – in partnership with the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) – invite you to an expert panel discussion on women breaking frontiers in science. High-level panellists will offer a global perspective on bridging the gender data gap and will discuss how AI-driven solutions should be developed to ensure health equity for everyone. Join us to explore the future of inclusive healthcare and biomedical research with a gender perspective on technology development, data quality and policy frameworks.

When: Tuesday, 11th of February 2025, 10:00am-13:30pm

Where: Johannessaal, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna

The event will be held in English and will be followed by an opportunity for networking over a buffet lunch.
