The conference ‘Gender. Ecology. Health’ took place

On October 24-25, the VIII International Interdisciplinary Scientific and Practical (Online) Conference “Gender. Ecology. Health” was held at Kharkiv National Medical University. The conference was organized by the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences and the Center for Gender Education. Over 200 people participated in various formats: specialists from leading Ukrainian universities (Kyiv, Poltava, Lviv, Cherkasy, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, and others), as well as from abroad (USA, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Great Britain, Singapore, Turkey), along with scientific and educational staff, healthcare professionals in Ukraine, and students across all levels of education.

Vice-Rector for Scientific Work, Professor Oksana Nakonechna, delivered a welcoming speech to the participants.
