The European Association for Women & Health Research
(EAWHR) was founded in 1997. In the Netherlands the Dutch Foundation of
Women & Health Research is part of EAWHR.
The aims of the EAWHR are to facilitate communication
and collaboration among European academics who are active in the area of
Women & Health research in medicine, public health, psychology, sociology,
bio-ethics and other health-related sciences.
To this end, the EAWHR organises international,
interdisciplinary conferences every two years. The first conference was in
1997, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The second was in 1999, in Edinburgh,
UK. These first two conferences were great successes. Researchers from many European countries
but also from all other continents came together and enjoyed the high
quality presentations and discussions.
We currently organise a broad acquisition of new
members, because we are developing an active website in order to further
stimulate research collaboration and exchange of information in the
relevant area of Women & Health. Therefore, we invite you to become a
member of the EAWHR.
