BIAS - Inequality in Women's Health and Research is a Research Ireland- funded Science Week festival, which aims to encourage national dialogue and debate around biases that still exist in our society and prevent women from pursuing a career in STEM, receiving adequate healthcare, and benefiting from research findings.

RCSI Dublin, Albert Lecture Theatre, 123, St Stephen’s Green, D02 YN77
Join us at the Albert Lecture Theatre in RCSI for an event focused on women’s health research in obstetrics and gynaecology.
We’re bringing together a panel of experts to reflect on progress in obstetrics and gynaecology- across research, clinical trials, and policy- and to discuss what still needs to happen to ensure women’s health is fully understood, valued, and supported.
Whether you're a student, healthcare professional, or simply curious, this is your chance to engage with experts, ask questions, and be part of a vital conversation about the future of women’s health.
There will be an ISL interpreter at the event.

Here is the recording of the event "Menopause Matters," which took place during Science Week 2024. The recording includes Irish Sign Language (ISL).
The event focused on various aspects of menopause, including its physical, emotional, and psychological impacts. Experts in women's health shared insights into the latest research, available treatments, and strategies for managing symptoms. Additionally, there were discussions on the importance of awareness and education about menopause in promoting health equity for women.
