Gender aspects are omnipresent in Medicine and are of great importance for understanding diseases, diagnostics and treatment. However, Medicine still pays insufficient attention to this aspect in its research.

Researchers at the University of Greifswald and University Medicine Greifswald therefore want to raise awareness of gender aspects in medical research and sensitise early-career academics in particular to this topic.

Coordinated by Prof. Dr. Sylvia Stracke, the project "Inclusive Excellence in Medicine" (InkE) involves various stakeholders from University Medicine Greifswald (Department of Internal Medicine A, Medical Informatics, Medical Psychology, Department of Neurology, Department of Trauma Surgery, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dermatology, Medical Informatics Laboratory) and the University of Greifswald (Graduate Academy, Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (IZfG), Equal Opportunities Officer, Department of British and North American Studies, Department of History, Department of German Philology). InkE is funded by the BMBF over a period of 5 years with a total of 1.5 million euros.
