ABOUT THE GROUP

The Gender, Life Course and Health Research Group plays a crucial role in understanding the complex interaction between gender, the various stages of life, and health. As a result, it contributes to the development of more effective, fair, and well-being-focused health policies and practices for the entire population.

These research topics cover a wide range of project profiles, including national and international competitive bids, individual grants, and public procurement processes. The goal is to expand the knowledge base in these areas and provide valuable insights for assessing and formulating public policies.
