Dear BBC list,

On behalf of the Bioinfo4Women programme, we are delighted to share this train the trainer course to equip research infrastructures, research centers and training providers on how to introduce the sex and gender dimension in life sciences training portfolios.

The inclusion of the sex and gender dimension in life sciences is increasingly promoted by the European Union to rethink standards and reference models for sex and gender representation in research projects. Thus, training biomedical researchers in this topic will increase their capacity to integrate the sex and gender dimension into their work, leading to more inclusive and impactful science.

We invite you to this train-the-trainer course aimed at developing participants’ skills on how to introduce the sex and gender dimension into their training related to the life sciences.

Learning objectives

At the end of this course, participants are expected to:

LO1: Understand the appropriate applications of the terms “sex” and “gender” in biomedical research in training actions
LO2: Identify, understand, and think critically about different perspectives on the complexity of sex and gender dimension in biomedical research and how to communicate them in training activities.
LO3: Identify how the categories of sex and gender affect the life sciences and training in this domain, in particular regarding the generation, collection and utilisation of data in research.
LO4: Select, compile, and synthesise information on the inclusion of the sex and gender dimension in research and integrate it into their training portfolio.
