Hello,
My name is Christina Fahmy, and I hold a Master’s degree in Healthy Aging and Rehabilitation. I am interested in pursuing a PhD in Germany, but I do not yet know a potential supervisor.
My research interests lie at the intersection of climate change, aging, and health, particularly from a social and cultural perspective. I would be very grateful for any recommendations of professors, research groups, or departments in Germany working in this area.

I am conducting a citizen science mixed-methods study with participatory research steps during the My Body, My Brain, My Choices workshop (Hannover, September 17-19th) on taboos in women's and gender-diverse mental health. I would be grateful if you could share your insights and to others who might be interested in contributing or advise on other organizations I could reach out to.
Supporting Citizen Science Research: Taboos in Women and Gender-diverse People's Health
Despite scientific and medical advancements, women's health continues to be affected by stigmatization, misinformation, and political underrepresentation. We firmly believe: "Women and gender diverse people’s health is more than reproductive health."
We seek to understand and formulate ways to break down taboos surrounding women and gender diverse people's mental and neurological health in research and clinical settings. Please feel invited to fill out the short, anonymous survey with just two questions on your experience with taboos. Whether you are a clinician, researcher, or bring lived experience, your contribution will directly inform research priorities and a women's health platform.

im Rahmen meiner Arbeit beim International Rescue Committee (IRC) möchte ich zwei Projektkonzepte vorstellen, die wir als Antwort auf die unten aufgeführten Horizon-Europe-Ausschreibungen im Bereich Bildung entwickelt haben. Dafür suchen wir Universitäten oder Forschungspartner*innen, die entweder ein Konsortium zu einer unserer Projektideen leiten oder an einer ähnlichen Initiative mitarbeiten möchten, in die Elemente unserer Konzepte integriert werden können.
Die Horizon-Europe-Ausschreibungen, an denen wir interessiert sind:
🔹 HORIZON-CL2-2025-01-TRANSFO-07
Auswirkungen der Lernumgebung und der Nutzung digitaler Tools im Alltag auf die Entwicklung von Schlüsselqualifikationen und Kompetenzen
Projektidee: Untersuchung der akademischen und sozial-emotionalen Auswirkungen des digitalen Lernens über die All-Ukrainian Online School (AOS) auf geflüchtete Kinder aus der Ukraine in Polen, Deutschland, Italien, Griechenland und Großbritannien.
🔹 HORIZON-CL2-2025-01-TRANSFO-06
Bewertung und Nutzung von Evidenz in der Bildungspolitik und -praxis
Projektidee: Analyse der Nutzung von Evidenz in der beruflichen Weiterbildung von Lehrkräften in Deutschland, dem Vereinigten Königreich, Italien und Polen – mit besonderem Fokus auf den Übergang neuzugewanderter Schüler*innen.
Was wir als IRC einbringen können:
Dank unseres Netzwerks von Büros, Programmen und Partnern in ganz Europa ist das IRC gut aufgestellt, um Forschung zu diesen Themen aktiv zu unterstützen. Derzeit setzen wir in mehreren Ländern Fortbildungen für Lehrkräfte um, basierend auf unserem evidenzbasierten Healing Classrooms-Ansatz (HC). Dieser unterstützt Pädagog*innen bei der Schaffung stabilisierender und inklusiver Lernumgebungen. HC stellt eine vielversprechende Fallstudie dar, um zu untersuchen, wie evidenzbasierte Weiterbildung gestaltet sein kann – und wie Erkenntnisse in Bildungspolitik und -praxis einfließen (oder nicht).
Zudem verfügen wir über umfangreiche Erfahrung in der Zusammenarbeit mit (in)formellen Bildungseinrichtungen und Pädagog*innen, die mit Kindern aus der Ukraine arbeiten, die an der AOS teilnehmen.
Wir suchen Partnerinstitutionen, die folgende Rollen übernehmen können:
• Leitung des Konsortiums und der Antragstellung,
• Leitung der Forschungskonzeption und -durchführung unter Sicherstellung methodischer Stringenz
und politischer Relevanz,
• Koordinierung der länderübergreifende Analyse, und
• Mit-Erstellung und -Veröffentlichung der politischen und akademischen Ergebnisse
Wenn ihr Interesse habt oder die Ideen spannend findet, freue ich mich sehr über eine Rückmeldung. Gerne kläre ich in einem kurzen Telefonat, wie eine Zusammenarbeit konkret aussehen könnte. Auch Tipps oder Hinweise auf passende Kontakte sind natürlich sehr willkommen!
Auch Tipps oder Hinweise auf passende Kontakte sind sehr willkommen und geschätzt!
Viele Grüße

🌍 Big Decisions Loom for Global Health at the 78th World Health Assembly (by Molly Moss)
As the 78th World Health Assembly kicks off in Geneva (May 19–27), global leaders are set to make pivotal decisions for health worldwide.

As the 78th World Health Assembly kicks off in Geneva (May 19–27), global leaders are set to make pivotal decisions for health worldwide. Two major developments headline the agenda: a new Pandemic Agreement—the product of three years of negotiations—aimed at improving global coordination, equity, and preparedness through a One Health approach; and urgent efforts to address WHO’s projected $2.5B budget shortfall, which threatens its ability to carry out core programs.
Reforms under discussion include restructuring WHO’s global operations, expanding flexible funding sources, and adopting stronger commitments to health financing aligned with the Lusaka Agenda. While financial constraints loom, the Pandemic Agreement signals renewed global cooperation and commitment to lessons learned from COVID-19.
This Assembly may redefine the trajectory of global health systems in a time of complex, intersecting crises. Stay tuned and stay engaged.

Hub Management Team commented on this post about 1 year agoWe read a lot about international support that is going into Ukraine to restore broken health systems including the provision of mental health services. It would be ideal to learn about the social groups that are most affected by the war and the differentiated model of mental services that is being provided. The analysis can be conducted in all countries where there are conflicts to help the development of a standard package of interventions that can be adapted to suit specific situations.
